and summarize the materials in a creative way to promote thestudents’ understanding. An appropriate assessment is for sure needed.1.1 Example 1There are many gas power cycles, such as Carnot cycle, Otto cycle and Diesel cycle. In mostcases, the textbook discusses each of them and shows the process in a P-v and/or a T-s diagram.The diagrams can help the student to understand and memorize these cycles. However, thestudents may become confused to remember these curves because all the curves are quite new tothem. To help the students in learning these cycles, it is seen that all the well-known reversiblecycles (Carnot, Ericsson and Stirling) can be integrated into one T-s diagram (or a P-v diagram).Figure 1 shows the individual diagrams of the

One player in each group is assigned to the retailer stage to role play this supplychain partner. The end customer is the retailer’s customer and is the source for the orders of beerat the retailer station. Once the retailer fills the end customer’s order, s/he sends another order tothe wholesaler.Figure 1. Drawing of the retailer station.

Finally, outstanding issues will be mentioned.Motivating Factors and Long Term Goals Prior to this revision, the basic undergraduate EE program at Princeton had not changed forsome 30 years. In the late 80’s and early 90’s, several factors combined to lead the departmentto review its program. The first was the perceived changing nature of the incoming students.While equally as bright as their predecessors of 20 years ago, the students now seem to have lessof an inherent feel for engineering and less of an idea of what it is that engineers really do. Thishad led to a lower interest in course material, especially in introductory level courses. Whilethe first

the issues covered by the rules of the agreement has received considerable attention in recent months: theexchange of professional services across the border with Mexico. This increased attention is rooted in a numberof circumstances, among them the U.S. presidential election process. On a purely rational level, the issue of legal immigration of Mexican engineers could almost be dismissedon the basis of its relative magnitude. Currently the U.S. issues about 2500 temporary entry visas to Mexicannationals in all professional fields combinedz. Even if we assume that 80% of these went to engineers, the totalwould amount to about 1/1000 of the Engineering/Technology employment in the U.S .s, and to about 1.6% ofthe number of graduates of

A main element of the communities is thatparticipants were asked to select a research-supported interactive teaching strategy to implementin the course(s) they taught. The learning community served as a forum for gaining ideas ofpossible strategies, as well as for sharing plans and results and receiving informal feedback andsupport on both. Rather than adopting particular prescribed strategies, participating facultyidentified strategies that were of interest to them and/or addressed a challenge they were facingin their course(s).

A rapidly rising entropyreading would alert us to areas of high energy degradation and also allow us to comparedifferent processes more appropriately.Entropy.
