that is suited to their mission. They thusneed the help of people with strong technical backgrounds. Service learning links these twoneeds and provides a means to enhance both the community and undergraduate education. While service-learning has been well established in many disciplines in higher education,engineering as a whole has been much slower to adopt the pedagogy (Tsang 2000). There areexamples of service-learning that have been effectively integrated and used in an engineeringcontexts [ Duffy, J., Tsang, E., and Lord, S]. Examples include first-year introductory courses[Hobson,Tsang], capstone senior design courses [Catalono], multidisciplinary approaches[Nagchaudhuri, A., Eydgahi, A., and Shakur, Coyle 1997] and integration of co

The engine acceleration using biodiesel from used oil was about 15%less than that of biodiesel made from unused oil, but unfortunately the fuel was depletedbefore the formal tests were run.ConclusionsTTL includes in their operations manual [4] a variety of acceptable fuels; JET-A, A-1, B,4,5,8, heating fuel oil, diesel kerosene and ‘gaseous fuel system’. The JBU tests haveextended the fuel menu to biodiesel made from unused or lightly used vegetable basedcooking oils.

Purdue University. This course, Plastics ManufacturingSystems (MET 490), is a capstone-type course for students interested in machine design andmanufacturing. It focuses on the design of plastics manufacturing equipment. Since most plasticsmanufacturing processes contain some thermal control, this course was a good test bed for theheat transfer module.In order to provide a baseline for assessment of the module, some questions were posed tostudents in the first class period. These were: 1. If oil is flowing through a heated pipe, what is (are) the heat transfer mode(s) by which Page 8.414.3 heat is transferred to the oil?Proceedings

The magnitude response of the FIR comb filter with D=10 anda=0.2 is shown in Figure 2. The noise reduction ratio (NRR) of this filter is NRR = (1 − a ) / 2 = 0.4 ,which corresponds to a 10 log10 (1 / NRR ) = 4 dB improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). A widely
