Dominion University in the ElectricalEngineering Technology senior elective course EET 420 Advanced Logic Design has indicatedthat students have a better understanding of how the Boolean AND, OR, Invert, XOR and XNORoperations are performed. As a result, students typically make fewer errors in reducing andmanipulating Boolean expressions.Bibliography1. Norman J. Block. Abstract Algebra with Applications.

This group was molded after Kelly Johnson’s designof the Skunk Works13 at Lockheed in the 1940’s. Today, IEWorks consists of students involvedin the Mechanical Engineering senior capstone design classes, graduate student mentors, andseveral faculty members involved in engineering design. This paper will focus on the graduatestudent experience in IEWorks.The IEWorks graduate students are funded as capstone senior design team mentors and, inaddition to the typical course load, work together on various projects to challenge the student todevelop these softer skills. With these daunting challenges, much time is spent by the student towork

There are three ways in which you can help solve the problems of near resonance of the Millennium Bridge over the River Thames in London (see accompanying Theory Sheet). You now know that light damping can lead to such problems in mechanical systems; so one solution would be to increase the resistance to motion. What else can you do to eliminate such problems?

At the present time even the term Information Technologyis interpreted differently by many in academia and industry.The development of IT as an academic discipline is similar to the process that Computer Science(CS) went through in the 70's and 80's. In fact, looking at the placement of Computer Scienceprograms in academic institutions around the U.S. illustrates the debate that swirled around thediscipline as its core was being defined. Some CS programs are in departments of Mathematics,others are in Engineering schools, and many others have become freestanding programs withinnewly emerging colleges of computing.Information Technology, as it is

S. engineers tomeet the needs of our industry during these critical times as the U.S. industry competes toexpand in a global economy. As a result of this shortage U.S. corporations, both large andsmall have to import engineering support from abroad to stay viable in the market place.The question at hand is: What can be done to increase attracting and retaining engineeringstudents in their respective programs?. Fortunately there have been a significant number ofstudies and analysis to sort out the elements that cause students to leave engineering programs.One of them
