health disorder(s) over their lifetime [5]. While modern medical institutions are wellequipped to treat patients with diagnosed mental conditions, people with milder symptoms areseldom able to receive necessary treatment due to their condition not falling under the requireddiagnostic criteria [6]. Without access to medical diagnosis and treatment, many such individualscontinue to suffer from their mild/medium symptoms until their condition deteriorates to thepoint of needing necessary medical attention, resulting in the need for more effective andaccessible diagnostic techniques to prevent mild mental disorders from regressing. To this end, extensive research has been conducted into using sensors to measurephysiological responses to

transition between compressed liquid and superheated vapor. Any point on thisdiagram corresponds to a state, which can be determined by the two properties T and v. However,this state is also related to a group of other properties, such as pressure (P), internal energy,enthalpy and entropy (s). As there are six properties commonly associated with a state, one canconstruct up to C62 different diagrams. However, as P and T are two properties that can bemeasured easily, they are often considered as the primary properties. Just as in quantummechanics, P and T are associated with two complementary properties v and s, and the product ofeach pair has the dimension of specific energy.Thermodynamics problems often involve some processes, i.e., transitions of

The second part of the paper deals exclusivelywith nuclear engineering technology, a part of the academic enterprise that nurtures and sustainsgrowth of the nuclear industry by providing it graduates with specialized work skills and a solidunderstanding of nuclear science basics. The paper examines course offerings of establishednuclear educational programs including that at the U. S. Navy’s Nuclear Power School. Thisinformation is used to develop the curriculum for a four-year Bachelor of Science degreeprogram in Nuclear Engineering Technology. The template for the
: Data Rate = Bandwidth*log2(1+ S/N) where S/N is the ratio of the signal power to the noise power in decibels(dB).Now, students were asked to find the ASCII code for the initials of their names and showtheir understanding of the bit rate and bandwidth of the communication channel by repeatingthe Fourier analysis on those letters. To generate the ASCII waveform, students programmedthe Agilent 33120A Function Generator. Next, they designed a first-order RC low-pass filterwith a 3 kHz bandwidth and observed and captured the output response of the filter to theASCII waveform. 1.

But actually conceptualizing things and being able to explain like the picture of it and say, „This is what electricity is.‟ It‟s one of those things where I kind of wish I would understand that side better”.The interviews for this study were conducted as part of a larger study of student understanding ofdifficult concepts in both mechanical and electrical engineering.

From there, PSI spread to other disciplines and to otheruniversities. Billy Koen first applied the PSI method to engineering education in 1969 5. Basedon his success, other engineering instructors adopted the method. PSI courses were developed in Page 4.534.1many disciplines including Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Library Science, Biology, andeven Philosophy.The 1970's saw a rapid growth of PSI
- Transistor beta- “Stuck” process bus- Digital component timingObviously both power-of and power-on tests are of value to any electronics manufacturer. Astudent in a EET program needs to understand the basics of these tests, so that s/he has anunderstanding of manufacturers’ tests, and to that s/he can perform some of these tests whenassembling a project, thereby finding problems before power is applied in the overall projectsystem, with the accompanying risk of destroying all or part of the circuit. The power-on testsare difficult to do, since the guarding techniques used in industrial ICT systems are difficult toduplicate on a lab bench, especially at the freshman level.

The SF6 in the flowexiting the dryer is measured with an electron capture detector (ECD), and pumps are located atthe downstream end of the flow system to minimize dead volume and response time(approximately 0.5 s). The output from the ECD is an analog voltage signal (0-5 V) which canbe directed to a data acquisition system for storage.

The primary goal in initiating the course was to give students more problemsolving experience with a secondary goal of intuition-building hands-on experiences. Over 25activities have been developed with a limited budget.BackgroundSecond year students in Mechanical Engineering Technology take a four-credit lecture course instatics and strengths of materials during their fall semester. Prerequisites for the lecture courseinclude pre-calculus and college physics. The lecture course includes two-dimensional statics,stress and deformation for common loadings, and combined loadings with Mohr‟s
Performance(GRASP).IntroductionProficiency in engineering domains requires experience applying the governing principles withina specified domain and the tools needed to support the comprehension and monitoring of factorsindicating a system‟s performance (ability to achieve a function). These tools may appear simpleto describe in its form and function, but difficult to apply strategically to a context. The contextis defined as strategically, because it requires a multi-step logical, systematic interaction with Page 15.28.2domain knowledge.
