student motivation: students in the software field aremost interested in working towards a functioning end-product rather than documentation orprototypes. Furthermore, this gives them the experience of how prototypes and client feedbacktranslate into the finished product. This was also observed by Mohan and Chenoweth 9: it isimportant that students “carry their requirements projects forward into design and development,sufficiently that they can see the importance of the time spent learning to do requirements” 9.Nevertheless, it is important to note that student teams spend the larger part of the semester(about 70%) interacting with the client, building mockup/prototype(s) and obtaining clientfeedback, which they then use to create their SRS

This project wasfocused on the design and implementation of an undershot water wheel. The water wheel wasassumed to be set into a river system with an assumed flow of 10 ft/s. The components designedfor the water wheel system are wheel, shaft, belt, pulley and bearing. The wheel shaft is to beconnected to a generator with a belt system. A journal bearing was selected based on the loadrequirements. The waterwheel’s vanes encountered bending moment and shear force from thetangential flow of water to its circumference.

What specific topics or information do you hope will be covered as part of the professional development activities during this summer research experience?The focus of the post-experience survey was to assess academic and developmental outcomesassociated with program participation, as well as students’ experiences. Many of the questionsfrom the pre-experience survey were repeated in the post-experience survey, which alloweddirect comparison of individual answers across the 10-week program. The post-survey alsoincluded a set of open ended questions: What part(s) of the summer program did you find most valuable or helpful? What part(s) of the summer program did you find least valuable or helpful? Please share any

The format of video instructionused is a sequential-step explanation and is a form of observational learning, which is learningthrough the behavior of others. Observational learning through video allows students to see a“flawless performance” of the task, and can be viewed repeatedly as needed [18]. Theinstructional videos on Rater Practice should be sufficient in learning how to operate thesimulation and can be viewed and practiced until the system is understood.

The paper proposes topic areas in engineering economy and shows how these topic areaswere used in an initial study on PhD students. The research shows that not all PhD students havethe expected financial understanding even though they were pursuing PhD’s in engineering.

On the other hand, a clear decrease in the cases involvingadvertising can be seen over time, with 22 of the 28 cases (79%) occurring before 1980. Thisphenomenon is likely tied to several changes in the Code of Ethics in the 1970’s involvingadvertising9. The cases containing unfair competition also encountered a significant decreaseover time, 79% of which ensued prior to 1985. In contrast, cases relating to disclosing privateinformation and negligence, of which there were eight for each category, weren’t pertinent untilthe mid-80s.Based on the noted ethical dilemmas and how they are discussed in the Code
