time. Understanding the pros and cons of the lecture method is a helpful startingpoint.Lectures have a number of characteristics that does make them, for the right subject matter,desirable in the classroom (14) .It does, to a great extent, depend on the abilities and experience ofthe lecturer. An able and committed lecturer can accomplish the following: 1. Relate the material proficiently and effectively, in a manner that reflects lecturer’s personal conviction and grasp of the subject matter; 2. Provide students with a thoughtful, scholarly role model to emulate; 3. Supplement the subject matter with current developments not yet published, or interject lecturer’s own views derived from his/her own experience whenever

There are many toolsthat provide the ability to analyze large amounts of data and produce usable information. Toolscurrently available include: Splunk4, Apache Solr, and Elasticsearch Foundations’ ELK stack(Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana). Each of these tools has the ability to take textual data andparse it into desired fields of information. For the purpose of this paper, we will be using theELK stack as our software of choice.Our

engineering projectsentail risk—a risk that cannot always be anticipated. Perhaps most importantly, this citizenunderstands that engineering is not an a-political investment, and that not all engineers aredisinterested. Engineering reflects the values and culture of society, and the engineer is notimmune to his or her cultural situation.The history and evolution of engineering is another foray into the relationships between societyand engineering. Looking at the change of engineering over time is valuable, as it showcases thedevelopment of certain social aspects of engineering. Perhaps engineering historians explore thedevelopment and transformation of engineering as a profession, or perhaps they develop acomparative study of a variety of engineering

students were able to identify that Page 26.1322.16rectangular objects experience higher drag forces than rounded objects (No. 28) (Figure 2A).Students could make this judgment based on the shape of airplanes, boat hulls, and other vehiclesthat are designed to minimize drag forces. Because student performance on these items wouldnot be expected to improve after completion of a civil engineering fluids course, they shouldlikely be omitted from the revised inventory.Items to be CreatedImportant applications in CE should be reflected on the future CE-FMCI. For instance, expertsagreed that concepts related to viscous flow, such as major/minor losses and

Much of the literature is focused on individual factors asexplanations for the disparity in the rates of women in higher ranks and engaged in academiccommercialization. Although this research is a positive first step, institutions, departments,leaders, and faculty must take a critical look at their entire system.

It is imperative that Page 26.1211.10managers at all levels are willing to make resource investments in technologies that develop intothe next disruptive discovery, staying true to the strategic goals of the research organization. As we have shown, several key themes have emerged over the years as scholars havesought to better understand innovation management.
