Example: The original problem used the words ‘sample standard deviation’ to express the alternative hypothesis. The new problem replaces the words with the symbol ‘s’. Computation: The type of alternative hypothesis presented. Example: The original problem used the two-sided alternative hypothesis. The new problem uses a one sided alternative hypothesis. Note: a change in the values of the data used in the problem is considered a transfer of 0.The task then became one of generating these problems to ensure that everyone interpreted andapplied the

With no history orreputation in engineering and with the limited resources (laboratories, faculty, student body andtradition) available to a start-up technical program on a largely liberal arts campus, it was virtuallyessential that it began as a broad (rather than specialized) program. According to our currentclassification scheme, it would have been of the primary-philosophical type.The program came under the newly formed Department of Engineering and Computer Science in1980, still in A&S.

Half-Life includes a graphical development and programmingenvironment that allows one to quickly develop new environments, and includes support forsophisticated lighting effects, actions triggered by users' movements, and perhaps mostimportantly for the lab accidents, explosions. It also includes human characters that can beprogrammed to interact with the user, and has the added benefit of being very popular and wellknown within the primary target audience ( college age students ) of the lab simulations. TheHalf-Life development environment also includes a large number of useful components,including radioactive symbols, lab coats, a wide variety of textures, and

While quality programs like TQM (Total Quality Management)or Kaizen a continuous improvement methodology were using similar tools (i.e. CapabilityStudies, Pareto Analysis, Designed Experiments) to improve quality, many companies found thatthey did not succeed.

The development methodology encourages the use of a broad base of expertise to makethe outcomes widely applicable rather than discipline specific. The methodology can be used togenerate or stimulate discussion during faculty training regarding assessment activities in general,or as applied to a specific course. It can assist new faculty or those new to assessment orevaluation activities by providing structured guidance, for either broad or specific applications.ReferencesParker, P.E., P.D. Fleming, S

In section five the semi-immersiveVR implementation of the application is discussed, and finally in section six the empiricalprocedures and resulting analysis is detailed.2. BackgroundIn this section, specific technologies related to engineering education are discussed. Thisdiscussion includes the use of multimedia tools as well as simulations and accompanyingvisualization. The benefits associated with three-dimensional simulation and visualization inengineering are also touched upon as well as any related issues.In the early 1950's

In the mid-1980’s Pat’s supervisor moved from the US Air Force to aprivate aerospace company that was competing for the US Army LHX helicopter. The LHX wasa R&D project sponsored by the US Army to develop a reconnaissance and attack helicoptercapable of flying at high speeds.
