When a patient requires an operation, a blood transfusion may benecessary or blood may be required as a safety backup. Because of this the BUs are constantlymoved between refrigerators or between a refrigerator and the operating room. At present time Page 26.1594.2the BUs movement are managed using a paper log based system, which is maintained by thestaff and needs to be timely updated and checked manually. Most

Completed in four weeks,including two or three formal lab sessions, fully operational four-bit microprocessors weredesigned by student teams each year from 1994-96. These processors each had a sixteen-member instruction set adequate for writing short, but instructive, programs. For example,programs that performed elementary operations on arrays were developed on the 1995 design(CPU221/95), which incorporated immediate, direct, and indexed auto-increment addressingmodes.These successes have shown that students become productive quickly when introduced to a well-integrated tool-set in the first course. Students are able to complete design projects that are

A single educational environment can be defined asa department(s), school(s), or colleges(s). Such an arrangement provides an opportunity wherethe engineering and technology curriculum blend to offer the students a wide range of experienceand knowledge. In addition, it provides the local communities and industry with integratedworkforce that has a high diversity of engineering and technology skills.

It is particularlyso in the early Freshman and Sophomore years, since the students have not enrolled in abreadth of subjects. Multidisciplinary problems are often left to latter years, thereby leavingthe students with an incomplete picture of how course subject matters relate and fit in alarger view of engineering and design. A novel approach to multi-disciplinary engineeringeducation was instituted in the Freshman and Sophomore years at the Singapore Universityof Technology and Design

, the idea of integrating GD&Tthroughout an engineering curriculum has found some traction. In a recent article18 published outof the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), researchers partnered with industry(mainly Caterpillar) to establish innovative, hands-on approaches to teaching GD&T throughoutseveral activities as part of a freshman engineering course on design and graphics. AlthoughGD&T was originally considered “difficult to teach and learn,” the new activities focused onmanufacturing and inspection, in addition to form, fit, and function of design. The new effortswere not assessed, but the authors do conclude that GD&T is a fundamental engineering tool thathas continued to gain emphasis in industry and

Integrating Micro and Nanoscale Materials Processing into the Core ChE Curriculum - Examples in Radiation Heat Transfer Milo D. Koretsky Department of Chemical Engineering Oregon State University Corvallis, OR 97331-2702IntroductionThe chemical engineering department at Oregon State University (OSU) is committed todeveloping strength in microelectronics processing within a context of the fundamental skills ofthe discipline. In this vein, we are integrating examples from this industry into the classroom andthe laboratory.1 These topics are not only useful towards the
outsourcing of ECE expertise. The intent is to offer suggestions on howto revise the ECE curriculum to; 1) help future graduating ECE engineers work in aglobal environment, and 2) strengthen areas of ECE that are not likely to be outsourced,and to minimize focus of areas of the ECE discipline that are most likely to beoutsourced. These recommendations will in no way weaken the fundamental requirementfor understanding basic ECE principles, but are merely an attempt to structure the ECEcurriculum to be more resilient to outsourcing, so that ECE graduates in the United Stateshave expertise that are not easily outsourced and can compete in a global environment.Research of what’s being currently outsourced clearly identifies the need for USengineering
at a major research university in the southeastUS introduced a college-wide technical society initiative in fall 2013. The purpose of theinitiative was to encourage student integration in their disciplines and to promote professionaldevelopment through active participation in society events. Overall, the college observedmembership in technical societies increase from 19.5% to 82% and 33% to 96% at theundergraduate and graduate levels, respectively, with a combined membership of 83% for alleligible (i.e., full-time) students. This was an increase from 21% prior to the initiative. Detaileddescription of the technical society initiative and the rationale for its implementation ispresented.

On the other hand,because HSIs do not represent the complete ethnic demographics of society, they potentiallyhave the effect of providing an over-sheltered education.
