These composite materials allow for anextremely strong design. The main components of the enhanced wing are a blue insulation foamcore, used to provide the aerodynamic shape; a carbon composite rod located in the foam core,acting as a wing spar; and a carbon fiber composite shell for overall strength and durability. Sixelectrical strain gauges were attached to the spar so that wing performance can be studied in thefuture. These gauges can be used to measure the types of deflection a composite wing undergoesboth in laboratory tests and in

We propose that the definition of contemporary issues be broadly inclusive,emphasizing that students develop an awareness of contemporary and non-technical issues intheir major field and the role of engineering professionals in society globally to gain anappreciation and knowledge base for non-technical issues.Life-long Learning (3i)Life long learning can be evaluated in a number of different areas, depending on the nature of thespecific program. For example, students can be required in engineering laboratory courses toobtain data from outside sources (e.g., literature search, data in CRC handbook, etc.), with aquantitative portion of their grade being dedicated to this, which can ultimately be translatedback to quantitative

getting “too old” in the process.Nuclear FusionIn nuclear fusion, two light atomic nuclei join to create one heavy nucleus. This happens naturally within the cores of moststars, where temperatures and immense pressures are high enough to overcome the force that causes nuclei to repel eachother, as well as break the strong force that binds protons and neutrons together. In such conditions, hurtling nuclei fusewhen they collide. At that time, a new nucleus forms, releasing neutrons, protons, and other sub-atomic particles –neutrinos and positrons, as well as large amounts of energy. In today’s scientific laboratories, scientists hope to generatelarge quantities of energy, by applying these principles. Their major goal is to create nuclear reactors

One example is the finding of Absolute Zero using thenegative x-axis intercept value when extrapolates from a linear graph of pressure (y-axis) versustemperature (x-axis) in a first year physics laboratory class. One can criticize that anextrapolation to the range of -273 C using measurement data from the range of dry ice (around -78C) to water boiling (100C) is a poor technique; and the similar method of “y-intercept dividedby the slope” would not do better.

This is a limiting factor especially for large and fast-growing programs. Summerimmersion programs are usually short in their duration (2 weeks up to 10 weeks) [1-9], therefore,provide limited exposure to clinical setting and personal. Offering semester-based clinicalimmersion programs poses another set of challenges. Universities must establish hospitalaffiliation agreements and recruit clinical participants to supervise students.
