Demographicvariables (gender and major) served as covariates or the multiple causes individually to Page 12.400.6investigate latent mean differences and potential sources of item bias. The analyses in thisstudy were conducted in two major steps. First, CFAs were conducted to fit the one-factor theoretical models to the data. Parameters were estimated and several fit indiceswere used to examine the fit of the models: Satorra-Bentler’s (S-B) chi-square statistic(χ2) 14 , ratio of chi-square to degrees of freedom (χ2/df), Root

generation, transmission and deliveryare the focus of this paper.Electric energy has been used since the1890’s when the world entered the Age of Electricity.Since then the world has moved through a series of these ages: 1890’s – The “Age of Electricity” begins with the lighting of the Chicago World’s Fair in 1893, and completion of the first long distance transmission line moving hydro-electric power from the mighty Niagara Falls to Buffalo in November of 1896. 1930’s – The “Industrial Age” begins with electricity, power tools, and automation in factories, at the end of the Depression. Industrial productivity, measured in terms of output per unit of labor, makes major gains during this period. This results

terminology“multidisciplinary engineering programs” is defined as the set of engineering programs with oneof the following program titles (and a few slight variations): Engineering (including GeneralEngineering), Engineering Physics, and Engineering Science(s). An important characteristic thatthese programs have in common is that they do not have “program criteria” that supplement the“general criteria” that apply to the accreditation criteria for all other engineering programs. Thisnew role for ASEE means, among other things, that ASEE now has membership on the ABETEngineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) and is responsible for recruiting andrecommending Program Evaluators (PEVs) to ABET for accreditation visits for multidisciplinaryengineering

The purpose of the new laboratory is to supportinstruction of two of the five new courses: ME 105 Fundamentals of Mechatronic Systems Engineering andME 190 Electromechanical Systems and Microprocessor Applications.INTRODUCTION “Mechatronics” is a melding of two English words Mechanical and Electronics. The terminology wasfirst used by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) of the Japanese government in the early1970’s. The original notion of mechatronics involved the development of automated production of consumer lproducts such as the Canon SLR auto focus camera .

The approach used herein is to use the definitions asstated in the literature of the epochs examined.Computer ScienceComputers first began appearing in US universities in the 1930’s and early 40’s at MIT(differential analyzer), Harvard (Mark 1) and Penn (ENIAC and EDVAC). At first thesewere mechanical, followed by electro-mechanical, analog, and finally by digital as thecomputational research of the second world war filtered back into the universitylaboratories.3 It is interesting to note that academic departments devoted to the studies ofcomputers did not

Equations 1 and 2 show the hydration reactions of portland cement.Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) is the major contributor to concrete strength. SCMs such asslag cement and fly ash contain amorphous silica (S) which reacts (Equation 3) with calciumhydroxide (CH) to form additional C-S-H thereby improving strength. The equations shownbelow are in ceramic notation. 2C3S + 11H → C-S-H + 3CH (1) 2C2S + 9H → C-S-H + CH (2) CH + S + H → C-S-H (3)In addition to improving hardened concrete properties, SCMs are also used to produce “green”structures.
