Therefore, a working model of the system is proposed to demonstrate theconcepts underlying this technology. The company doing the design for the full-scale system –UGI Performance Solutions – has agreed to sponsor the student project.The working model will feature a gasoline powered 5000 Watt generator. The gasolinegenerator simulates the electrical generation process for the full-scale system and the exhaustflow from the generator will drive the heat capture systems of the model. Each subsystem willutilize a portion of the waste heat from the generator combustion

In spite of theimportance of faculty productivity to individual and career success, as well as the generallypositive effects of mentoring, research linking the two is lacking. Assessing possible connectionsis complicated by the fact that mentoring can take many forms, both formal and informal, to thepoint that a mentor and/or mentee might not even identify the relationship as mentorship. Inaddition, faculty productivity is influenced by myriad variables, making it difficult to isolate theeffects of any one of them (Dickeson, 2013). Finally, the definition and operationalization of“faculty productivity” is strongly shaped by one’s position type (tenure/non-tenure), andinstitutional

In order for faculty researchers to advance in the fields of engineering, computer science,and information technology, they must gain visibility in the national and international scientificcommunity. Often, due to their underrepresentation, the resulting isolation, and genderedstructural barriers, female faculty have less access to mentoring relationships than their malecounterparts [10], [11], [12], [13].
