This assessment asked students to briefly describe and sketch a diagram to representeach of the four types of atomic bonding: covalent, ionic, metallic, and van der Waals. Thesebonding types were chosen because they are the most central to the materials and processesexamined in materials engineering. In another assessment, students were given three differentmaterials: a paper clip, a glass bottle, and a PVC pipe. For each material, students were asked toidentify bonding type(s) present and properties of the material important to its

The purpose of theseexchanges would be to bring a collective educational wisdom to bear on the development andrefinement of a course on accident causation and system safety, a course that can be taughtbroadly in all engineering schools.4.1 Anatomy of accidents: case studiesBefore discussing concepts and abstractions in accident causation and system safety, it isimportant to motivate and ground the course in case studies of actual accidents. We believe theuse of case studies is particularly important for this course in general, and for the introduction tothis course in particular. The

Based on these findings, we hypothesizethat such life skills may be an important (albeit still largely unrecognized and unmeasured)“moderator variable” for college student engineering achievement. A moderator variable inbehavioral science is a construct that changes the relation between two other variables, and itmay be that soft skills have such a moderating influence between student “hard skills” andengineering achievement. We hypothesize further that possession of the “soft” skill abilities toselect (S) appropriate (realistic, feasible) goals for ones’ engineering tasks; to

In recent years the demand for programmers and studentinterest in programming has grown rapidly, and introductory programming courses have becomeincreasingly popular.”4 Since the early 70’s there has been an intense effort towards determiningand adopting appropriate and efficient methods that would optimize the learners’ ability tounderstand and solve programming related problems. 4, 5 For these reasons, identifying theoptimum way to teach programming and algorithmic thinking has for decades been one of thebiggest

The magnetic polarities (N pole or S pole) of the rings arein radial direction and the polarities alternate from one ring to the next on each side of theplunger. Two of the magnet rings are on each end of the plunger and a magnetic loop is formedby the permanent magnet rings, plunger, stator

technical specificationsWhen designing either a transformer or an inductor, a wire is required for the winding(s) aroundthe magnetic core. Wire selection is typically based on the window area of the core as well astolerable amount of copper losses in watts. The web-based magnetic design contains a sub-routine that automatically looks for the wire size (gauge) that most closely fits the calculatedcore material and type. However, since the program is meant to aid in basic calculations ofsimple inductor and transformer designs, the wire selection does not take into account complexconfiguration of winding such as bifiliar or more, interleaving, etc. Figure 5 illustrates the stepwhere wire size is determined including three data related to the selected
