Experiments were carried out on the scale model and data was collected, this is wheresome students were able to use data from this experiment to use for a class project in Design andAnalysis of Experiments. The data show what results were obtained and how the particle flowvaried in each section of the scale model with difference in velocity, circulation and mainstreamline flow. The apparatuses involved were a scale model (about 1:100) of the space shuttle mainengine (SSME) exhaust-duct, a humidifier and a blower, which students were involved indesigning.

Proceedings of the Spring 2013 Mid-Atlantic Section Conference of the American Society of Engineering Education 144(TUES) did not award for the last two years any project specifically aimed at closing the gapbetween academic and industrial worlds. This observation just adds strength to our questionslisted above.ConclusionThere is a huge and increasing gap between modern electronics produced by the industry andelectronics taught at academic institutions. However, there are few distinguished efforts from theacademia to change the situation. What’s more, it seems that both sides are satisfied with thisstatus quo

This work could be an excellent primer for anybody trying to learn the basics, andeventually master the complex arts of the UNIX operating system; it’s programming, andadministration.III.

Then the students are required to prepare a written report using a word processor (as with Excel, at the beginning of the course the students are given a brief overview on the features of Word)) and present their results using Power Point (the rudiments of PowerPoint are covered with the first exercise of the course). If time permits the students can run an experiment to observe the effect of distance on the illumination intensity. The results of this exercise are shown in chart 2.

We felt it would be natural for a character to teach the user how to operate the robot. After finding a suitable character and matching environment, we used a free AI voice generator to create a voice that matched the character. g. Writing the Tutorials: We first wrote out how the tutorials should go, and as we kept adding more elements to the application. For example, in some parts of the tutorial, it became evident that the user would need a closer look to understand. So, we incorporated a small TV that would

Undoubtedly, engineeringstudents across the country are getting plenty of practice solving problems outside the classroomin the form of homework, but for most engineering programs, the only time professors get toobserve their students solving engineering problems might be during laboratory hours or whileadvising on a design project.
