It is clear though thatthe Design (EPICS) program at CSM, as well as similar team-based curricula in other academicsettings, can benefit from more research on improving teamwork processes to enhance leadershipand management of the project and to encourage team interactions as the project progresses.Bibliography1.

The instructor should determine if the submitted work dealt with theassigned project in a reasonable and complete way, if it has the correct format, and if it ispresented in an understandable style. Several of the modules recommend that the instructor givea list of these criteria to the students when he or she makes the assignment. The key is to

By applying the Bernoulli Equation and noting that the pressure at the surface of the jet is at atmospheric pressure calculate the velocity of the jet and the jet diameter at 1, 2, 5, and 10 cm below the tap outlet. The velocity of the jet at tap outlet is 0.3 m/s.

recognize that there are essentially no naturally occurring lakes in southernNew Jersey. Virtually all of the lakes in the region were made by the construction of dams overa period of more than 300 years. The most recently constructed dams were built in the 1930’sand 1940’s for agricultural uses; most of the dams were constructed for long-gone industrialneeds. Many of these dams were built in association with the grist and saw mills scatteredthroughout the area. Today these dams and lakes provide other community and regional needs,including: · Flood control & protection · Stormwater management · Removal of sediment, nitrates, phosphates and other pollution · Aeration of creeks to increase dissolved oxygen levels from

Having phone support in the same room as the speaker can be a problem, because theadministrator’s voice can easily be picked up and broadcast to the entire audience during thepresentation. We suggest using a portable phone that has a silent ring indicator. Theadministrator should also be able to exit the room quietly to speak on the phone. However, theadministrator should also be easily accessible to the speakers and presentation monitor(s) in casea problem occurs.Hardware A web-seminar using Blackboard, RealMedia, and Windows Media requires: a computerto act as a server for RealAudio and Windows Media (i.e. to run RealServer

1980’s there were several student injuries related to the accidental release ofpowerful springs. Power for the projects is now usually limited to that derived fromgravity. Occasionally small battery operated motors are allowed, but the motors areusually less than effective since they must be controlled automatically and gear boxesmust be fabricated by the students. For the most part the devices must movesomething(s), e.g., baseball, softballs, golf balls, ping pong balls in a prescribed matter.The objective in the Final Test is to provide a device that satisfies all the constraints: · deployed within a specified time from a six sided container, · weigh less than a specified amount, · perform the prescribed task in the given time

Advanced courses considerthese digital behaviors in detail. However, El Engr 281’s course goals are more readily met ifthese effects are simply masked. It is also important that students have digital clock and binarycounters signals readily available to exercise their digital designs. Each one of these coursespecific requirements brings with it a unique series of component characteristics, simulatorsettings and schematic naming conventions and symbols.

The goal within COE was to integrate computers intostudents’ everyday lives so that they use them as we do.2The team found that, at that time, many liberal arts schools were incorporating personalcomputer requirements but relatively few engineering schools were doing the same.2Several “factors for change” in engineering education, however, were related to conceptsthat could greatly benefit from a personal

A prospectusis the package that you provide a potential publisher to obtain a book contract. When youcontact potential publishers, they will provide their specific requirements for aprospectus.Before the prospectus is written the author(s) should carefully consider what the overall,overriding philosophy of the book will be.
