Theyare provided an outline of the steps needed to complete the assignment. To begin this task teamsselect a case study from the list of ethical cases provided by the Markkula Center for AppliedEthics.

The later two categories are included to easily understand some of themechanical engineering tasks. The routes, through which the inputs are processed by the designto create the outputs, are called transmission paths that includes the processes of transfer,transmit, and transform. Thus, tracing the transmission paths is a crucial step in di entifyingfunctionality.2.3.

Notably, learning tocommunicate effectively (oral and written) requires correct sentence structure, which is lackingskill and requires assistance.Recognizing the root problem of engineering students' technical writing as inappropriate use ofsentence structure in English, this paper focuses on creating means to allow students to conveytheir thoughts using correct sentence structure. Prior literature suggests that complete sentenceseffectively allow an individual to communicate with another because complete sentencesenhance the strength and meaning of the ideas in the writer's mind [10].We hypothesize that this model will assist students in classifying written sentences asdeclarative, interrogative, imperative

He saw a potential to do a systemsdesign project that would address this issue, and his original idea was to find a way to putmicrophones inside drums. He confided in several relatives and friends, and they all warned himagainst revealing too much to his professors. They had in mind professors who might be lookingfor an idea to steal. But from

Tacit Knowledge in the Innovation Process Robert J. Podlasek, PH.D, PE Department of Mechanical Engineering Bradley UniversityAbstractTechnical innovation and entrepreneurship drive economic growth and prosperity. The successof the innovation process depends on utilizing new and existing technical knowledgeexpeditiously and in novel ways. Many new ideas are the result of the convergence of knowledgefrom seemingly unrelated domains and/or fields of interest. Moreover, innovative ideas tend toemerge from a combination of experience, published information, and dialogue. This process ofcollaboration and team science to
