He wants something that will be appropriate for his wilderness resort. After learning of your vast new knowledge of fluid mechanics, he has asked you to design a fountain. As a member of the National Fluid Power Association, Uncle Mort requires that one or more of the nozzles is controlled by a hydraulic system which will allow the nozzle(s) to move the water jet(s) in some sort of pattern. The water jet(s) from the movable nozzle(s) must be high enough pressure to allow for a sufficient water height. He wants this fountain to be an attraction for his customers
abroad experience. Given the 24 required credit hours,if a student comes in as a freshman, s/he can finish 3 Honors credit hours per semester (requiredto maintain Honors College good standing) and graduate in 4 years (or 8 semesters) with anHonors diploma. However, if a student transfers in at practically the sophomore level, s/he has todouble up on his/her Honors course or Honors contract in two semesters, which can bechallenging and time-consuming. Practically, it is not recommended for juniors or seniors toconsider Honors College, if they are not already in the Honors College.Although the 24 Honors credit hours can be earned through either Honors courses or Honorscontracts, the engineering and technology students have little to no capacity
believed that the Center andits resources were “important” or “essential” to their academic success in their first-yearengineering course(s). In addition, the majority of students’ activities in the Learning Center thatsupported their engineering coursework included working on team design projects, using thenetwork computers, attending a special first-year class, using the 3D printers, using hand tools tobuild a project, using the space to meet with classmates, and getting help from teaching assistantsand faculty members. Qualitative analyses revealed that students generally valued the resourcesin the Learning Center but remarked –not surprisingly– that the Center’s actual operationalspace, which is only 700 ft2 of the total 1600 ft2, was too
2014.Nuclear-Pumped Laser (NPL) technology was a part of the strategic defense initiative (SDI)program in the 1980’s. NPLs have since faded from the United States research agenda but theyremain an active part of the research agenda in other countries, notably in Russia and othernations in the former Soviet Union as well as China [1] which has a cooperative agreement withRussia [2]. The reason for this broad interest in the technology is that a NPL can scale to highpower/energy levels (potentially up to 100 MW Continuous Wave (CW) beam power). Militaryapplications have historically dominated the NPL research agenda. However, there aresignificant humanitarian applications for high power/energy lasers. For example a high powerCW NPL would have

He also indicated flexibility in the way he interpreted the problemstatement: The problem indicated the need to design a food cooker, but he recognized the deeperproblem was that users' goals were to eat. Thus, he expanded from a strict definition of“cooking” to include designs for warming and drying other foods.Case Study 2: Engineer 2. Six diverse concepts were identified in Engineer 2's work. His firstconcept was a magnifying glass aimed at a metal pot with a cover. “Basically we’re going tomagnify the sunlight, if it were frying ants. Hopefully that will fry the water and people will behappy.” His second concept was a black pot with the driving

research exists on its influence on classroom practices in first-yearengineering courses. The central question driving this research is: How does instructors'pedagogical knowledge influence their pedagogical practices for first-year engineering courses?For this study, we chose the model of teacher professional knowledge and skill (TPK&S), whichincludes pedagogical content knowledge (PCK). A descriptive case study was utilized as amethodology for this work to delve into the phenomenon. The context of the study was a first-year introductory engineering course offered at a large public research institution. This is a pilotstudy for an NSF-funded project “Advancing Student-Centered Teaching for DisciplinaryKnowledge Building in Engineering
members play an integral part in creating organizational change in graduateeducation; thus, their readiness for change can greatly impact the success of the change initiative.Change readiness can be defined as an individual’s or organization’s ability and willingness tosuccessfully undertake and adapt to change [39], [40]. Change readiness has been studied at boththe individual and organizational level [41]. According to Rafferty et al.’s [40]MultilevelFramework of the Antecedents and Consequences of Readiness for Change, individuals areready for organizational change if they believe that 1) change is needed, 2) the individual ororganization can undertake the change, and 3) there will be positive outcomes from the change.Most literature is
teaching.Place all of this discourse within a context of that country‟s primary belief system and thelandscape changes as well. This paper‟s discussion focuses on Thailand and a country that isprimarily Buddhist and naturally the lessons about teaching become tempered with Buddhistphilosophy and practices. It is extremely interesting to North Americans to watch this interplayof Buddhist culture within architectural and design education. If one explores these articles thatcouch this education within design, the number of articles that compare the practices of teachingto North American practices of teaching is lean and, in an architectural context, the literaturetypically strays to a focus upon how Buddhist principles affect construction or design
that the intent was to ascertain whether the outcomes of the program, as mutuallyviewed by the WMP’s administrators and graduates, have been satisfied. And, if so, to whatdegree or level of quality? Additionally, because the findings were used to improve the operationand content of the WMP the design clearly incorporated a formative aspect.After establishing the evaluation design described in the preceding paragraphs, the researchersdeveloped a set of 6 research question(s) that served to structure the data gathering: 1. What is the overall assessment of the WMP by its graduates over time (i.e., by cohort)? 2. What are the participant’s assessments of the WMP’s effects on their personal portfolio of skills (by cohort)? 3. Is there

In 1955-56, Allen Newell and Herbert Simon wrote a “theorem-proving program”that portrayed the reasoning aspect of AI. At some point, a proof written by the theorem-proving programwas more elegant than the proof given in the books. In 1969, man landed on the moon surface because of the calculations made by series of computers thatwere used in the space programs. In the year 1997, IBM 's Deep Blue computer made history when itbecame the first digital computer to win
elevation height and shorter tower. Introduction Wind energy harvesting systems have gained significant attention in exploiting wind energyin recent times. According to WoodMac [1], the world-installed wind power capacity is projected tobe over 1,756 GW by 2030, with an increasing cumulative annualized growth rate (CAGR) of 9%between 2021 and 2030 [1]. Because wind energy is sustainable, clean, and does produce greenhouseemissions and U. S is planning to generate 20% of its electric power from wind energy by 2030 [2].According to the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC) 2021 report [3], the installed wind powercapacity was 743 GW in 2021, which prevented over 1.1 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide
