With the findings of gold and copper in the late 1850’s,Montana became a US Territory on May 26, 1864 and the 41st state on November 8, 1889.Mining and cattle ranching have been the major themes of the state history. Mining has beenassociated with the state since the late 1850’s with the discovery of gold in Bannack Creek (nearthe capital) and by 1888, had more millionaires per capita than any other city in the world. Cattleranching has been associated with the state since the late 1800’s, mostly due to the HomesteadAct of 1862 and its revision in the early 1900’s, which expanded the amount of land a

Other measures of personality, multiple intelligences, or learning styles provide information about the learner and then leave the learner informed but unequipped to use the information. . . .

The learning style assessment gave the students a numeric indicator for theirlearning preference in each category, over a range from -11 (extreme to one side), to +11(extreme to the other side). Using this information the course and lab instructors assigned elevengroups with 3-5 students in each. Groups were assigned such that they had a roughly equalrepresentation of gender and majors and had an “average” learning style for each group that wasbalanced within each of the four categories. We did not mix undergraduate and graduatestudents. It was obviously impossible to perfectly mix the groups, but the average learning styleof

forthe following discussion on the three great challenges of the past thirty years and the responsesobserved thereto.1983: The issue of a distinctive curricular identity for manufacturing engineering was firstopenly and cohesively articulated in the early 1980’s. The founding of the ManufacturingConstituent Committee at the ASEE conference at Southern California in 1981 was one of thecritical milestones. Another occurred at the ASEE conference in Salt Lake City in 1983, whenover coffee during a break in the sessions, the notion of a workshop to explore curricular identitywas first broached. The question formulated at that time was as direct as it was simple: “If youwant to teach someone to be a manufacturing engineer, what do you teach?” The

The PI gains were selected to give a closed loopsystem with a damping ratio of ζ =1 and a desired closed-loop time constant τd.The Results Since the heater voltage is limited to 12 V, if τd is selected too small, the heater willsaturate. A Simulink model was constructed to investigate how small τd could be made withoutcausing saturation. It was found that τd close to 550 s was the smallest possible value.
