Specificity of adaptation refers to whether ornot (and in how much detail) participants described how they adapted their communication to agiven situation.Level of complexity. Our working definition of situatedness includes the entire communicationcontext—for example, the intended audience(s), the purpose, and the conditions of use. The levelof complexity of the participants’ involvement with situatedness ranged from those whoacknowledged a basic concern for audience (all participants) to those who attended to the fullcommunication context.

disparity between thepercentage of ethnic minorities in the U. S. population and their enrollment in and graduationfrom engineering programs illuminates the importance of faculty actively seeking to understandand address diversity issues2. In order to improve activities and diversity efforts, one needs togather information on the issues specific to their institution and be willing to discuss the pros andcons of certain situations or classroom techniques. Improvement can be initiated by firstadmitting the possibility that we, as faculty members, may inadvertently contribute to anunfriendly climate and we must study ways to promote a healthy, welcoming environment for allstudents.Developing a diverse engineering workforce is of utmost importance for
all case studies,while questions four and five were tailored to address characteristics specific to the particularcase study. The prompt for each case study can be found in Appendix C.Table 1: Guiding Questions for Case Study Activity. All groups considered questions 1-3, whiledifferent groups considered question(s) 4(-5) depending on the specific case study assigned. General Questions For All Research Groups 1. What characteristics distinguish this group from other engineering research groups? 2. How does the size of this research group impact: a. Overall group management? b. Student learning and development? 3. What suggestions would you make for advising a research group with these or
goal/s.”7A further goal for the student teams is to make explicit that innovation and meeting the needs ofthe adopters of the technology developed in the projects is required to achieve project success.This moves the emphasis from a social business to the development of a social entrepreneurialactivity. Definition of what is meant by social entrepreneurship is widely debated, but there aresome core elements and qualities that are frequently recognized, for example: Page 25.366.3 “Social entrepreneurs are society’s change agents, creators of innovations that disrupt the status quo and transform our world for the better.

take that intermittent time could have some discretion by the department and some ability to work it out so that it meets everybody’s needs. So there is a role for the supervisor or [department chair] or whatever, in combination with the business office when it comes down to that. [A8/ Policy Administrator 1]Options like intermittent time, as well as taking advantage of the policy in general are automaticonce a person fills out the proper forms. However, how the policy and its options are actuallyput into place in a given case requires coordination with the chair of a department as well as thebusiness office. For instance, such as in A3's case where she took sick leave, the business officesin departments keep track of

The network layer at node A receives 4000 bytesfrom the transport layer, to be sent to node B. Assume that the MTU (in bytes) of the copperEthernet network, copper serial network, optical fiber network, and copper Ethernet network is10000, as shown in the figure. Assume also that the final hop, the wireless network, has an MTUof 1420. (a) How will the transfer happen in each router?

, surpassing what autoethnographers can achieve in solitary endeavors [15]. Within CAE, researchers have theflexibility to switch between collaborative group work and individual solo work [15]. Thisalternating approach enriches the collective work by adding depth and texture. During groupsessions, individual voices undergo close examination within the community, benefiting fromothers' questioning and probing, which enhances the personal interrogation process [15].Subsequently, researchers retreat to engage in individual meaning-making, honing theircontributions. The goal of CAE is to move away from the idea that the research and theresearcher(s) are separate, fostering new connections with the research project, and beyond [15]. Hence, CAE

characteristic failure modes began to appear. All high-poweraircraft engines used hollow exhaust valves which were about two thirds filled with sodium.This metal would melt and slosh up and down inside the hollow valve stems and dissipate moreheat up through the valve guides than solid steel valve stems. This practice was proven in thelate 1920's. However, as engines and their valves became larger and rotating speed and combus-tion pressures increased, valve failures became more serious.Cylinder detonation (from whatever cause) stressed these valves and caused them to fail. Theusual failure was that the perimeter weld around the head of the valve would crack and the so-dium would leak out. Then the valve head would turn white hot, which aggravated the
