criteria are deemed a necessary aspect in educating the “Engineer of 2020.”2Our interdependent global society requires engineering skills to address issues related to health,security, and the environment, as well as international commerce.3As a major RAND research study concluded in the 1990’s, both universities and corporationsnow believe that students must understand the global nature of economics, speak otherlanguages, and be able to assess decisions in more than one culture. The research resultssuggested that universities must do more than “tinker with the edges of the curriculum.” Acomprehensive approach is needed, and relevant work experiences should be a primecomponent.4Work abroad experiences allow students to prepare for the global

Some of these include engineering and design,production and operations, research and development, quality management and improvement,information technology, marketing and sales, management, human resources, and evenworkplace safety and health. Thus, bio-based industries are very germane to engineering andtechnology disciplines. Bio-based operations require skill sets similar to traditionalmanufacturing settings, but also have a need for additional knowledge in biological sciences,which can vary according to the specific product(s) produced at a given facility (i.e., energy,fuels, chemical, or products). For example, equipment, processes, and unit operations must bedesigned; these systems must be optimized, modeled, and simulated; and

In the sameway our intuition tells us that the chemical word Fe can not be broken down into anymeaningful parts. In contrast, the word Fe(s) seems to be made up of two parts: the word Feplus an additional element (s), wich indicates the solid state of aggregation.Inflectional versus derivative morphemes‘Tree’, ‘eat’ and ‘Fe’ are called free morphemes; while ‘–s’, ‘-ing’ and ‘(s)’ are calledbound morphemes.

Because of the high speeds and compact designs of today’s systems, jitter that used tobe negligible is now very significant, and can prevent a system from working correctly.1Today’s designers need the ability to analyze jitter, trace its root cause(s), and mitigate oreliminate the cause(s).In order to effectively analyze jitter, one must understand its nature, the

The compact size of the readers (the size of a text book),affordability of the tags (less than $1 each), and usability of the reader software makes this anideal technology for use in the teaching laboratory. Introducing RFID into the ECET curriculumserves two purposes: it teaches modern tools of the industry, and it gives a practical way to teachimportant radio frequency concepts.How RFID worksThere are four main components in an RFIDsystem: the interrogator or reader, the antenna(s)connected to interrogator, a computer interface,and the tag. (See Figure 1) The interrogator,antenna, and interface will all be part of aninstallation or a handheld system, while the tagwill be attached in

engineering solutions.Educational ApproachThe traditional and probably most common method of introducing aspects of green engineeringhas been through a senior and graduate level elective course on environmental engineering, withan emphasis on process treatment. Courses were developed that focus on methods to minimizeor prevent waste streams from existing chemical plants in the 1990’s. The educationalprogression mirrors the progression in industry. In industry initial efforts were applied to wastetreatment whereas current efforts are aimed at reducing the total volume of effluent treated aswell as the nature of the chemicals treated. Currently, many of the environmental and pollutionprevention courses have been replaced by courses in green engineering

scientists have a long tradition, continuing to the present, of lively debateconcerning the nature of their discipline.”2 The same could be said about each of theother disciplines discussed here. The approach used herein is to use the definitions asstated in the literature of the epochs examined.Computer ScienceComputers first began appearing in US universities in the 1930’s and early 40’s at MIT(differential analyzer), Harvard (Mark 1) and Penn (ENIAC and EDVAC). At first thesewere mechanical, followed by electro-mechanical, analog, and finally by digital as thecomputational research of the second world war filtered back into the universitylaboratories.3 It is interesting to note that academic departments devoted to the studies ofcomputers did not
reacting with products formed during thehydration of cement. Equations 1 and 2 show the hydration reactions of portland cement.Calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) is the major contributor to concrete strength. SCMs such asslag cement and fly ash contain amorphous silica (S) which reacts (Equation 3) with calciumhydroxide (CH) to form additional C-S-H thereby improving strength. The equations shownbelow are in ceramic notation. 2C3S + 11H → C-S-H + 3CH (1) 2C2S + 9H → C-S-H + CH (2) CH + S + H → C-S-H (3)In addition to improving hardened concrete properties, SCMs are also used to produce “green”structures.

This change of state has the potential to revolutionize thecontrol aspects and responsiveness of hydraulic power transmission.Research during the 1960’s and 70’s was focused on devices such as: satellite antennas(NASA) that would unfold and expand when exposed to the heat of the sun; engines thatwould run on hot and cold water; automatic temperature-controlled greenhouse windows; Page 11.922.2and car fan clutches that would engage only when the engine warmed-up.One of the
