It maybring an impression to ethics instructors that the government has “endorsed” the instruction ofWestern professionalism, and this type of professionalism is acceptable to include in engineeringcurricula – although it is worth noting that there is not yet an accepted national ethics curricula inChina. Further, most Western engineering ethics textbooks that have been translated into Chinesereflect a strong professional tradition (e.g., Charles E.

In particular, we used Microsoft Visu-al Studio Ultimate 2010 (including Microsoft Test Manager 2010) and Microsoft TeamFoundation Server 2010, which together offer an integrated and comprehensive environmentfor the application lifecycle management, including test planning, authoring, automation,execution, tracking, monitoring and managing. We assessed our experience in using thetools from the student`s and the teacher’s points of view. Based on students’ feedback

students in University 1’s engineer-ing departments are taking 138% of the hours that are needed to graduate.1 For this program, itmeans students are graduating with approximately 180 hours on average. It is also worth notingthe curriculum rigidity of the University 1 program. There are 1.48 edges per node, meaning eachclass has an average of one-and-a-half prerequisites. The longest path of nine is also significant,as it is longer than the number of semesters in a four year program, i.e., there are ten classes inthis pre/co-requisite chain that must be completed in eight semesters. Obviously there are severalco-requisites in this chain, meaning that two classes can be taken together, but this length makes afailure very costly in terms of timely
there and our job is to identify the problem (s) and come up with theappropriate solution (s). To do so, we need to use tools and equipment to measure and identifythe parameters that help us to identify the problem (s). This kind of work needs expertise andunderstanding of how to measure and identify the fundamental parameters, such as temperature,pressure, concentration, illuminance, and airflow.Design and troubleshooting are considered as two subcategories of problem solving (McCade).Problem solving has been defined in many ways. Ritz describes a problem as a need which mustbe met (Ritz, et al. 1986a). The main difference between the two subcategories is the fact that thedesign is a “proactive” problem solving (Baker & Dugger, 1986) and
where stiffness is most evident. Since the blades spin during normaloperation, they must be designed to minimize axial deflection due to the tension created by thecentrifugal loading and to minimize bending under their own weight due to static loading. Ahelicopter blade can be modeled as a fixed-free cantilever beam. Students can solve for thedeflection of the blade under tensile loading and distributed loading, as shown in Figure 5. Acase-study of the Sikorsky S-76 blade tip failure is also introduced. Students then discuss whatthey have learned about stiffness and deflection as it relates to design of components and how theS-76 design could be modified to minimize the risk of failure.3.
