curricular innovation but also rises tothe challenge of providing globally relevant engineering education.Project ContextThe Milwaukee School of Engineering (MSOE), founded in 1903 is an educational institutionbased on an applications-oriented curriculum. From the beginning, leaders of business andindustry cooperated in the institution's development, and a close relationship was established thathas continued throughout the school’s history.The Biomedical Engineering Program at MSOE was started as a Biomedical EngineeringTechnology program in 1969. In the mid 1980’s the program moved from a technology focus toan engineering focus, and was ABET accredited as one of the first four Biomedical Engineeringprograms in the country in 1990. MSOE’s

At the end ofthe course, students prepare a white paper and present a PowerPoint to the senior managerswithin the participating agency(s).This Practicum course accomplishes several objectives. It provides students with real worldexperience in the analysis of transportation issues. It gives them experience communicating theresults of their work to industry managers. And, critical to this discussion, it provides thestudents with experience working with teams of people from other disciplines, who havedifferent talents, vocabularies, and approaches to problem solving.The spring of 2007 marked the fifth spring in which this course was offered.

In our case pure hydrogen is used as the baseline gas but flow controllers are usuallycalibrated with nitrogen. To calculate the Gas Correction Factor (GCF) for pure gases, followingformula is used: (0.3106)( S ) GCFx = (d x )(cp x )where GCFx is the gas correction factor for gas x (In our case hydrogen gas used),0.3106 is the factor of (Standard Density of nitrogen) and (Specific Heat of nitrogen),S is the molecular structure correction factor where S is 1.03 for

Procedures that address these issues must also use a measure related to height to quantify roughness. This is necessary as measures of frequency, 2-d size, and distance between features alone cannot define roughness.

Ideally, wireless access points utilized for this course module should supporttwo separate radios. One radio should support 802.11a while the other supports 802.11b/gstandards.

The correct answer is option (e) because thevelocity of all of the three charged particles is perpendicular to the magnetic field.
