characteristics with sufficient detail andaccuracy to help find the cause(s) of premature burnouts. b.) EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Motors were set up shaft-to-shaft end-on, coupled andaligned. This general set-up was used for all types of planned tests. Current shunts wereinserted where measurements were needed and low-range digital voltmeters were placed acrossthe current shunts. High range digital voltmeters measured voltages directly. High-current,pneumatically-operated switches were used for circuit changes. Rotational speeds were read bystrobe lights; temperatures were read by attaching the transducers directly to the field windings.Armature temperatures were determined by voltmeter-ammeter methods with the armaturesstationary. c.)

S. in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1988, his M.S. in Chemical Engineering from Penn State in 1990, and hisPh.D. in Chemical Engineering from Clemson University in 1994. His dissertation focused onthe conversion of PBO to carbon fiber, and he received the American Carbon Society’sMrozowski award for best student paper presentation in 1993. After completing his doctorate, hestayed on at Clemson for one year as a Visiting Assistant Professor before accepting a tenure-track position at the University of North Dakota in 1995. This is his first semester as anAssociate Professor at Rowan. Dr. Newell has been published in Chemical

The author appreciates thecomments provided by the anonymous reviewers of this paper. In addition, comments providedby Jay S. DeNatale, a geotechnical engineering instructor at Cal Poly, were extremely valuable.Dr. DeNatale has been a professor at Cal Poly for over ten years and is responsible for thedevelopment of the geotechnical engineering curriculum described in this paper. Finally, theauthor would like to recognize the efforts of Morgan Griffith and Victor Elia, students at CalPoly who have worked hard to develop the K-12 engineering exercises and demonstrations

Went back to data projector. Other problems, cables too short, and s-video connector only on ceiling mounted projector. Good rule of thumb, count on a loss of 50% of resolution, and avoid thin lines.Oct., 7 - tried using the SVGA converter in class again, very poor appearance, but as okay with larger fonts, but the unit seemed to shut down after a few minutes.Oct., 11 Had classes, and then working model contest at the end. This seems to have set a tire in some students. Most were impressed. In general the interest level

Dirichlet, Cauchy, Cantor, Riemann, Weierstrass and others, in theirstudy of continuity and convergence of series, invented ingenious, counterintuitivecounterexamples and produced analytical techniques which culminated in Lebesgue’smagnificent theory of integration about 1906.During the 1700’s, developments in mathematical theory were dominated by Leonhard Euler.Euler had more mathematical insight, made more mathematical discoveries and had moremathematical fun than anyone else either before or since except maybe Erdos.

Third, the examemphasizes the importance of the Level-3 competencies to our students and faculty. Students arekeenly aware that retention of knowledge and skills in the core areas is a requirement forgraduation in addition to simply completing required course work. Faculty awareness of theneed to help students learn fundamental concepts is also heightened.Table 2 shows the 18 Level-3 competencies assessed by the exam.

enrollment in anEngineering Freshman Learning Community is 14/20 (70%), compared to an actual EFLCenrollment rate of 61%. The electronic survey covered Supplemental Instruction and Peer-LedTeam Learning for General Chemistry I, Pre-Calculus and Calculus I. Enrollment data (Table I)indicate that about 2/3 of Fall quarter freshmen should be enrolled in either Pre-Calculus orCalculus I, and at most 1/20 should be without a Fall math class. On the survey, 1/22respondents stated that (s)he did not take math in Fall, which is consistent with enrollment data.An additional 3/22 students did not identify a math instructor; two of those answered noquestions beyond those about the EFLC, suggesting that they simply stopped participating in thesurvey. It is thus
