and preparation for this skillis adequate. Again, the data suggests areas already known in the academic literature. The areasof largest deviation below the zero-line show that mathematics (Q 2), written communication (Q12) and a willingness and awareness to engage in life-long learning (Q 17) are areas needingmore emphasis in engineering programs. This again reflects what is being highlighted in ABEToutcomes. Table 1 summarizes the main conclusions from the study. If “X (Slight)” appears ina column, this indicates the results for both New Engineers (NE) and Supervisors (S) areapproaching agreement and, thus, would be close to appearing in the “Adequate” or centercolumn.What next?Based on this study and after examining other studies in the

is the determination of theairspeed or flow rate in the duct model. The airspeeds are too small for the normal wind tunnelmeasurement system which makes use of the pressure drop in the wind tunnel converging sectionresulting from the Bernoulli effect. An indirect method is possible, by measuring the volumetricflow rate supplied to the rake manifold from the smoke generation system. If the totalvolumetric flow rate of air containing smoke is Q, then the average discharge velocity from Nidentical rake tubes will be U = Q/(NA), where A is the internal cross-sectional area of a singletypical rake tube. Since the exit tube flow must be properly balanced with the external airspeedfor so-called iso-kinetic injection, U will be approximately the

only assigned instructors can have access to student records or specific students can have access to certain applications.4. Another area of improvement in the future is to revise the Quiz module structure. Currently, the Quiz module is implemented using static values for Q&A, so questions must be manually entered. In the future, we intend to make this module more interactive such that questions and answers can randomly be selected from an existing file created by the user. We also intend to attach a time stamp and User ID to each quiz to improve the testing environment.5. As of now, we have not performed any traffic monitoring to evaluate the traffic volume passing through the IVLP web server. It is our intention to examine

power to produce electricity. The first task is to provide a qualitative theoryof water power usage as well as a discussion about the impact of water power historically andlocally. This discussion is very productive because of the community college's location within anarea central to America’s Industrial Revolution. The curriculum also includes simple fluidmechanics and terms such as head, flow and diameter of a pipe. The quantitative section of thewater power activity is to discover the principles of the flow equation, [Q = 0.62 * (cross-sectional area)*(2gh) 1/2]. This equation is supported with handouts and worksheets thatincorporate problems for the students to solve. As water falls, it is a potential source of energy.The greater the height

For example, the ADC experimentrequires students to think through the process of how a measurable phenomenon, such as lightintensity in a forest, becomes a time-tagged number in a computer file, database, or plot. Byusing a light transducer that captures the fluctuation of light levels from fluorescent fixtures, thisexperiment reinforces student’s knowledge of sampling rates, quantization error from signals andsystems courses, and
