interested in the history of science and technology might find it ironic that aGerman professor was complaining about the absence of laboratories when Germanyconsidered itself the birthplace of the university laboratory. Furthermore, Germantechnical universities, especially the earliest one in Karlsruhe, were models for MIT,Cornell and Stevens.26 The chemical laboratory of Justus von Liebig at the University ofGiessen dates to the 1820’s and 1830s13; indeed one of Liebig’s American students, EbenN. Horsford, is usually credited with introducing laboratories to American universitieswhen he became professor of chemistry at Harvard University in 184714. But thetechnical universities in Germany faced a struggle for standing in the academic worldwith

In the absence of components in either the labtours or Nanotechnology Teaching Modules, one type can be used to supplement an area inwhich the other is lacking, however a balance between them is recommended.Research StudiesAside from

Definition: A Bezier curve is a mathematically defined curve used in graphic applications. The curve is defined by four points: the initial position and the terminating position (anchors) and two separate middle points (handles). The shape of a Bezier curve can be altered by moving the handles. The mathematical method for drawing curves was created by Pierre Bézier in the late 1960's for the manufacturing of automobiles at Renault in order to handle the curvilinear shapes of modern design. Computer graphics tools lend themselves to the use of such a technique

However, this block also contains severalthermodynamic based topics, including gas turbine engines and aircraft propulsion systems.Additionally, dimensional analysis and modeling are addressed within this case study, which isthe logical place to put them based on their relevance to the wind tunnel testing of models. In contrast to the F-22’s command of 23 lessons in ME312, the Corvette case study isused for only 13 lessons. However, many of these topics are discussed in depth during thecourse of 2-3 lessons, and rely heavily upon the Conservation of Energy principles taught inME311

Asimilar argument can be made for electromagnetics. In fact, the conceptual basis ofelectromagnetics topics that is typically covered in the context of capacitor and inductoroperation in electric circuits courses has been the prerequisite for three calculus-basedelectromagnetics/transmission lines courses in the Electrical Engineering Technology program atMSOE for several years. The authors contend that the sciences must be eventually covered on acalculus basis, whether in calculus-based physics courses or subsequently in advanced courses,for the adequate preparation of

As it is sometimes pithily articulated, oneis either born an entrepreneur or not.Legions of entrepreneurship educators around the country have heard this question and havegrown weary of responding. In our opinion, the question furtively is one of those trick questionsthat sounds profound but has no possible satisfactory answer. It’s similar to a question like “Areyou still beating your spouse”?

In such cases, students would treatthe portfolio seriously as a class assignment and spend more effort to create it.Comparing the Benefits and Drawbacks of Portfolio AssignmentsWhen students were required to include most of their work into the portfolio, an obvious benefitof creating the portfolios is for students to archive and review their work. This benefit wasmentioned in several studies. For example, students in Upchurch et al.’s study8 thought one ofthe main benefits of creating a portfolio was to archive assignments and to be able to review theirwork.
