industrial partnership affects the student’senthusiasm and participation. It is therefore the responsibility of engineering professors toremain active and involved in the industrial partnerships of their college in order to ensure theirsuccess. References1.

Not only are these fans able to deliver a high enough flow rate withoutbeing too loud, but they can be purchased inexpensively. The velocity of these airs should be lessthan 0.35m/s, to the baby is not uncomfortable. There is also a small hole in the center of thebottom panel; this hole is used for wires, and the tubing for oxygen. There is also a ventilationoutlet, so that the air has somewhere to go when there is new air being pumped in.Sensors:Sensors are an extremely important aspect of any piece of medical equipment.

The structure of a smart grid with four micro- grids For the economic return on the investment of an individual MG, a performance metric foreach MG is proposed. An overall performance index of each MG can be calculated as: 4 Q = w1 F + w2 E + w3 S (1) F is a cost index of electricity, E is an environmental effect index due to atmosphericemissions, and S is a satisfaction index of the power

The data were found to be normally distributed withthe exception of one outlier. The accuracy of the model increased when both the channel heightand fan speed were used as regressor variables.IntroductionThe first working fuel cell was developed in 1839 and the 1960’s fuel cells aided in the Apollomissions.

The team decided it was best to have four completemodes rather than several incomplete modes at the end.AM pioneered the architecture used throughout the rest of the project for implementing thevarious modulation modes. It was also the first mode implemented into the GUI with therequired applications, such as power meter and S-meter. Because the design of the AM sectionwas very thorough, this implementation process was utilized in all subsequent modes.A

instruction, and iv) PBL promotes deep learning and problem–solving skills.A. Essentials of PBL: Problem–based learning is a philosophy that has to be adapted to thespecific conditions and situation of an institution, and the nature of the specific field in which itis to be implemented. This is apparent in the different models of PBL implementation throughout the world. Therefore, there is no one –size-fits-all approach to PBL that can simply beimplemented from one institution to another 20. There are essential and required steps that have tobe mobilized at the start of PBL. At the start of learning in PBL is the selection of realproblem(s). This is, in fact, the major driving force for learning. Effort and time dedicated to theselection of problem(s

actually analyzing the ideas. The ideasgenerated can be analyzed based on the functions the problem requires it to fulfill. The evaluatorpredefines each function at different levels (e.g. high, medium and low) based on the type of theideas expected. The ideas falling in the corresponding level for each function receives a noveltyscore (e.g., High-10, Medium-5, Low-1). A novelty score for each idea can be calculated byassigning weights for each function and aggregating for an overall value. Novelty a posteriorican be calculated by counting the number of occurrences for the same idea for each function.The novelty score (S) for each function’s idea can be calculated using the formula: ܶ െܥ

Overall, the course syllabus and the course objectives are met toa great extent. As mentioned before, several assessment tools have been identified such as classwork/homework, quizzes/exams and projects. Sincere attempt is made to refer to the CLOs whiledesigning the contents of the assessment tools used. For example, many class work andhomework problems, and each exam question clearly stated the concept being tested in thatquestion, and to what extent that question addresses the CLO(s) and how it maps the PO(s).Students were informed where this information will be used.

rising energy prices create a renewed opportunityto move U.S. public policy and engineering education in a mutually beneficial direction. Callsfor change in the way energy education occurs are certainly not new, and earlier expressions ofconcern are a good source for our current reflection. Writing in 1973, the highly respectedRepublican legislator Howard Baker pondered the then-current oil supply shortage.4 Heconcluded that well-developed education programs linking environmental attitudes with energyuse could have a strong and lasting impact on energy consumption behaviors in the country. Inthe 1970‘s, President Jimmy Carter advocated the development of energy education programs tochange students‘ perceptions of energy and alter patterns of
