This allowed students to check their understanding while theproblems were still fresh on their minds. The timeliness also allowed students to keeptrack of

The mass flowshould ideally remain constant unless there is a variable valve system in place, however it shouldstill indicate any kind of flow irregularities that may be present. As for the combustion chambertemperature should increase rapidly at the start of the burn and slowly reach a peak temperature,which should be at the end of the burn. With these properties in mind, the sensors chosen shouldbe able to validate these trends. As discussed previously, need for the mobility of this data acquisition system should notbe understated. As full-scale rocket engine testing can be a potentially dangerous proposition, itis important to move the system to a safe location to perform a

First, the termidentity is used in terms of who a person is in the professional sense. For example, for graduatestudents and professoriate, identity often includes the roles of

Perhaps the most prominent aspect of threshold concepts is their transformative nature.4 Onemanner of understanding the transformative criterion is to recall a concept that presented anentirely new lens to view the physical (and perhaps nonphysical) world. For example, fromelectrical engineering, one of the first ideas that may come to mind is the Fourier Transform of asignal f(t), ' 𝑓 𝜉 = 𝑓(𝑡) 𝑒 (*+,-. 𝑑𝑡, ∀𝜉 ∈ ℝ (1) ('From a purely mathematical point of view, the transform appears

The EET Program at Texas A&M would be pleased tohost the first MP Showdown in the Spring 2004 semester.A Multi-University Mobile Platform Competition The mobile platform concept is now at a point where it is ready for disseminationto other universities. With this in mind, the EET/TET faculty will be working to developa multi-university mobile platform competition over the next two semesters. It is hopedthat this competition will give other engineering and technology programs a chance toevaluate the mobile platform technology and will allow them to integrate thesetechnologies into their curricula.

Educate Yourself - Before attempting to analyze and transform our curricula, we shouldeducate ourselves first on gender equity and multicultural issues. Educating ourselves requireskeeping an open mind and giving ourselves the time to learn and examine the relevant issues. We Page 2.56.1can educate ourselves by attending institutes and seminars offered nowadays at most universitiesand at conferences such as ASEE, acquiring and reading the literature from journals such asASEE Prism and the Journal of Engineering Education
