. The equipment must be constructed in less than 2 months. Please explain your solution as clearly and completely as possible. From your solution, someone should be able to build your playground without any q uestions. Your work should contain a detailed description of your design and any relevant diagrams and calculations. Provide a drawing of your design with final dimensions of equipment and the playground layout. Estimate both the costs and the benefits associated with your design. Please clearly state all assumptions which are needed in your analysis
. Professionals from the community come to meet the students, make presentations, and explain jobs and opportunities available in engineering and science fields. ANSEP students make presentations on their research projects and internships so that others can see the array of career options. These meetings are an opportunity for us to see the students each week and to identify and mitigate problems before they jeopardize a student’s academic Page 23.63.10 success. We work to keep these sessions very informal and relaxed. We share pizza, bar- b-q, and traditional Native

Facilities services include EnvironmentalHealth & Safety Management and Hazardous Materials coordination. The SJBIIC also wants to provide an entrée toU.S. capital and business resources for foreign companies.SJBIIC, a joint project involving Building Blox Solutions and the Women’s Technology Cluster, began in June2004. SJBIIC therefore cannot report any significant achievements as yet aside from
training of the software used for this purposes(e.g. Microsoft Excel). Within the statistical tools, the emphasis was to review with thecalculation of the mean and standard deviation, as well as traditional statistical hypothesis testing(such as t-test, the use of a p-value and q-tests) in order to evaluate the quality and significanceof the data gathered in each laboratory. Considering that some of the students have covered thismaterial in one of their previous courses, it was very important to emphasize that this is the typeof scenario in which statistical analysis is put to place. The safety review session was offered in order to explain traditional safety rules with respectto the handling of instruments and safety guidelines (which include

This industry participation helps thestudents “keep their feet on the ground” and helps to ensure that their projects will be more thanjust an academic exercise that only looks good on paper – ideally, we would like

classrooms” have recently received increasing interest.1 In these classrooms, instructor-centered in-class lectures are replaced by student-centered learning activities such as problemsolving, Q & A sessions, etc. It challenges the accustomed traditional methods of collegeeducation and influences engineering education at every level: individual instructors, studentgroups, departments, colleges, and institutions. Proponents believe it is an inevitable trend inengineering undergraduate education, which brings deep learning to realization. Because coursecontent is digitized and posted online in “flipped classrooms”, in-class periods now can be usedfor interactive and purposeful activities. It allows flexibilities in how instructors operate
, automation technology, manufacturing robotics, drafting and design technology, and computer programming. We focus on automation technology, but should get into higher levels of mechatronics as well.• manufacturing processes, automation, sustainability• Hands on education with labs is a must, CAD CAM Programming, Q&A, Metrology, GD&T Reading and Applying, All are very important topics to teach our Mfg Engineers• universities are using buggy whip methods to teach current and emerging technologies. They're stuck in the past and will not change. Another big issue is academic politics. Excellent educators who want to bring new ideas along with making students responsible for their behavior are being forced out of academia

Some of the presentationshave been videotaped and edited and posted on the website at mos.org/nano.58More recently, the Museum added live cablecasting capability to the CS&T stage, and byarrangement with New England Cable News, provides a weekly “SciTech in the News” programwhich frequently focuses on nanoscale research
