Additionally, while there is a Center for ProfessionalDevelopment, not all professional development across SUNY is offered or tracked centrally, soimpact is difficult to measure.In response to the range of challenges being faced, the SUNY Center for ProfessionalDevelopment (CPD) has decided to develop and implement a series of competency-basedcertificate programs to address common and recurring professional development needs for rolesthat exist within targeted CoPs across the system.ApproachBuilding on s successful course development model for online professional master’s

BothWoodward and Runkle were preparing engineers to enter the occupational demands that needhands on experience combined with intense theory.Charles Richards claimed that America presumes “our place as a nation practically at the time ofthe industrial revolution” [18]. One lacking feature, during this time, is that America had noartistic traditions except for those of other countries and the United States (U.S.) needed todevelop their own artistic tradition. The arts and crafts movement entered the U.S. by Englandin the early 1880’s and demonstrated in the schools of Philadelphia [19]. The arts and

At a maximum designspeed of 1500 rpm ( 157 rad/s) the expected torque on the generator was /0.13 before adding any friction losses. An estimate of the overall torque and rotationalspeed needed to be coordinated between the teams so that the mechanical system would deliverthe necessary speed and torque to the generator shaft, and that the structure was designed
