Page 25.472.6[5]. Running a CAD package on a provider’s server(s) through the cloud and paying a smallfraction of the original license fee on a pay-as-you-go usage basis is certainly appealing. Inaddition, time and cost intensive software updates and maintenance issues are out of the pictureas well. On the downside, it is obvious that an internal local area network connection allowssignificantly faster data transfer rates than an Internet connection. In addition, rendering CADdata can be very demanding in terms of computing power and over the Internet one mayexperience a slight lag in response time. Whether or not the lag is tolerable will depend on thevarious usage scenarios. While it may be perfectly acceptable in a CAD training environment

CEEC ’95’s call foraction resulted in the adoption in 1998 of the first version of ASCE Policy Statement 465, whichsupported the “concept of the Master’s Degree as the First Professional Degree for the practiceof civil engineering at the professional level.”5 After further committee work, in 2001 ASCErevised the preamble of the policy to say that ASCE “supports the concept of a master’s degreeor equivalent as a prerequisite for licensure and the practice of civil engineering at theprofessional level.”6 This statement equated “practice at the

Using these coded themes, the authors examinehow the student conversations and questions change over time from the beginning of setup to theend of the configuration period. These coded themes are them examined in the context ofBloom’s taxonomy to see if the students are moving through the cognitive learning process withthis program.Bloom proposed a taxonomy of educational learning objectives which was based on a set ofconferences in the early 1950’s.8 The taxonomy is composed of a classification of variousobjectives which can
: Equivalence (C.A. 1), Couples & Equilibrium (C.A. 21)1 Common Errors: 6, 7, 10, 1117. A 200 N-mm couple acting counter- clockwise keeps the member in equilibrium while it is subjected to other forces acting in the plane (shown schematically at the left). The four dots denote equally spaced points along the members. Assuming the other forces stay the same, what load(s) could replace the 200 N-mm couple and maintain equilibrium?Analysis of Student Responses: Two of the five students responded with the correct answer E.These two students were able to identify that both the force and moment of the selected responseare equivalent to the given situation.Student A: “...it’s a couple moment because it has equal forces in opposite

It has become popular with users needing more speedand memory than the HC11 provides. The 68HC11/12 has gained momentum because of itssimple architecture and instruction set. A large selection of books, sample projects and freesoftware is available for this target. There are readily available kits that bring out all theresources of the HC11/12 as well as support hardware and prototype area.What the authors consider the best CISC architecture as an educational platform for its time wasthe Motorola 68000 family.

The mathematician carefully measured the diameter and evaluated a triple integral. The physicist filled a beaker with water, put the ball in the water, and measured the total displacement. The engineer looked up the model and serial numbers in his red-rubber-ball table. ________________________________________________________________ During the heat of the space race in the 1960's, NASA decided it needed a ball point pen to write in the zero gravity confines of its space capsules. After considerable research and development, the Astronaut Pen was developed at a cost of $1 million. The pen

The teamsrotate from jig to jig until they have made the required measurements on each jig. It is ideal to Proceedings of the 2001 American Society for Engineering Education Annual
, being astudent is very different from being a member of the faculty. I came from a research programwhere most of the Ph.D.’s entered the academic job market, and, in the past few years, mostfound academic jobs. The lessons passed on to me from classmates who entered academia,coupled with the support of my dissertation supervisor and several other faculty mentors, Page 3.559.11equipped me much better than most to enter the academic job market. Another advantage I hadwas being in a field where the number of active teaching/research programs in the US is smallenough that one can identify almost all of them fairly easily.
