For instance, a student asks a professorin class about his opinion of the dean’s plan to reorganize the college or department and the impactthis might have on the student’s career or graduation plans. Or perhaps, a professor serves on auniversity budget committee. Can this professor publish articles and engage in public debate usingthe information gained through his involvement as a member of the committee?The federal courts are currently split over the application of the First Amendment to speech byprofessors employed at public universities.

For instance, an event that did not require advanced planning on the part of thestudent and could be completed at any time (i.e. – reading and reviewing a technical paper) wascoded as “highly convenient” while a career fair that has a set date but drop-in hours was codedas “medium convenience”.

The inherent nonlinearity of thepressure sensor output voltage with respect to the air speed provides an opportunity for studentsto apply theory and achieve very good results.4 The nonlinear nature of the probe also lends itselfwell to the use of an embedded lookup table to simplify its use.Managing a multi-year project involves a little forward-thinking and resource planning.

The sparse lattice fill within the hollow walls however wasnot strong enough to hold threads and the screws pulled out almost immediately. As a quickremedy, the students drilled out the failed holes and plugged them with polycaprolactone (PCL).Commercially sold as Shapelock or Instamorph [6,7], PCL is a plastic that is moldable attemperatures as low as 140 F, but hardens to a nylon like consistency when cooled.
