human being has limited number of biometrics. Therefore, it is a desirable to generatemultiple independent biometric templates from biometric image (s). The partial fingerprint basedverification methods we are proposing in this paper mainly focus on achieving this goal. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 reviews previous work done byothers on matching partial fingerprints. Section 3 briefly states our contribution. Section 4introduces the methods of generating partial fingerprint images and the matching algorithm. Insection 5 we give our preliminary testing results. Section 6 summarizes and concludes the paper.Literature review Generally it is easier to obtain partial fingerprints than full fingerprints

broadened theireducation further by venturing into business and law professions. This expansion of the focus ofchemical engineering education occurred in the 1960’s with the publication of “TransportPhenomena” by R. Byron Bird, W.E. Stewart and E.N. Lightfoot [3]. This book epitomized theshift in emphasis of chemical engineering education from practical application to fundamentalcomprehension. Chemical engineers now not only had to understand how to operate engineeringequipment, but also the fundamental principles of science which governed that equipment. Thisallowed chemical engineers to apply their skill sets to other industries. This shift in focus brought with it the use of any new technologies that would commonlybe used in science such

„effectiveness‟ of using video,in an education pedagogy sense. To address this a metric was created and planned for use inanother course (also using the foundry).Finally, the process of creating a video is time and equipment intensive. Some ancillary aspectsof video production included a momentarily clean foundry, an outstanding archive document,and some of those higher Bloom‟s Taxonomy (3) scenarios played out on the instructor.MethodologyThis project posits the use of video to accelerate and improve some basic foundry concepts andskills. Since safety is such a prominent constraint, it is covered soon and often. Commercialvideos (4) have been used during MET257 in conjunction with lab tours and demos. Butcommercial scenarios are typically different in
proposed Grand Challenges Scholars Program.OverviewThe undergraduate curriculum for the Construction Management program in the Lyles College ofEngineering at Fresno State was overhauled nearly three years ago. The unique features of therevised curriculum comprised an interdisciplinary approach with a business minor as an integralelement of the CM major. Service learning was incorporated at all levels in the form of “S”designated courses. At the freshman level, CM 1S, the orientation course; in the mid-level, CM7S, the construction materials and assembly course; and at the senior level, the capstone course,CM 180S provide the experiential learning opportunities with one or more community basedorganizations (CBOs) in the field of construction. Each

in engineering curricula was discussed as early as 2004 by Frame et al.[5], who mentioned that PLM is best introduced in relation to the holistic design of a product,covering its entire lifecycle. Frame et al.’s solution was to include usage of PLM softwarethroughout the undergraduate program of study however, this solution is unable to provide thecontinuity of following a singular product. Another approach is the formation of anextracurricular project group focused on providing undergraduate students with hands-onexperiences using PLM tools in a structured environment that simulates a typical industrialutilization paradigm through providing employee roles, structured workflows, collaborativeprojects, and formalized review processes.

This connection cannotbe ignored or discounted when studying the “supply” of construction managers. The Bureau ofLabor and Statistics (BLS) defines a construction manager as someone who “plan[s],coordinate[s], budget[s], and supervise[s] construction projects from start to finish” in theOccupational Outlook Handbook (OOH) [1].
