hypothesis that there is a statistically significantdifference in academic performance of students attending a minimester and regular semester.Minimester students perform better than those enrolled in a regular semester. Obviously, theminimester students grasped the concepts and materials faster than their counterparts, and coulduse them well during the exams.However, the results of the study must be taken with some caution. It was done for only one coursein a semester and, therefore, the findings cannot be generalized. The study will hopefully generateenough interest to do further research on predicting performance of students in other courses.Bibliography1. Anastasi, J. S. (2007).

The following questions will form the basis for the interview. 1. How do you think these challenges affect the development of your discipline and the educational program(s) you are involved in? 2. What do you expect the situation to be 10 years from now? 3. How do you prepare your students for the future with

Students from outside the major often express a combination of sympathy andrespect for engineering students, based on the perception that their majors are very difficult. Acouple of examples demonstrate what engineering students hear from their peers outside ofengineering: “Other students? Um. Yeah. That’s for sure. They definitely, you know say, oh she’s an engineering major. She has to study a lot so, you know, she can’t hang out with us too much.” S- Whenever I mention my major, people always go, ...tell me that they’re sorry.

Fruchter and Emery [17] defined the learning of students in cross-disciplinary teams in four phases: island of knowledge, awareness, appreciation, andunderstanding. Ilgen et al. [18] proposed three similar stages in team learning: forming,functioning, and finishing. Diverse and complex perspectives of team members at the beginningconverged to commonly agreed perspectives in a team learning environment. In addition,learning from the most knowledgeable and well-performing member(s) in the team increasedwith the difficulty level of assigned tasks. The literature on the

to 1950’s [1] researchers started to explore this technology. Simplyspeaking, computer vision deals with the technology that mimics the capabilitiesof a human (normal) vision system. Naturally, a normal human being is equippedwith sensors for five different sensing capabilities (vision, smell, taste, touch, andhear). These capabilities are controlled by the central nervous system (brain)allowing a human being to demonstrate intelligent behavior. By default, thevision system of a human being is three dimensional and it uses two eyes thatwork as sensors (detectors) to capture images. Earlier computer vision systemused only one camera along with the associated computational platform andsoftware and therefore, it dealt largely with two

well known in academia.Housner and his students [3] at Cal Tech in the 1940’s and 1950’s experimentally determined thecritical load of a member by means of linearly correlating the square of the frequency and theload; the extrapolated regression line at zero frequency represents the critical buckling load ofthe member. On the theoretical side, the most acknowledged achievements are traced back toTimeshenko [4] who used differential equations to show that as the loading of a columnapproached Euler buckling, the frequency of the first mode approaches zero. Recently Carpinteri[5] presented a solution using potential energy that is well-tailored to student understanding. Hisderivation uses a single degree-of-freedom system similar to that shown in
