After the activity, the professors independently evaluated the team documents using adesign metric (e.g. RADD – Requirements, Analysis, Documentation, Drawings).A correlation was found between previous internship experience and an increased ability todesign and document this skill. This correlation appeared in both MET and EET disciplines.There were consistent results between the faculty members, using the RADD metric. Aconclusion from this work is that participation in internships as an undergraduate positivelycontributes to student’s design abilities.IntroductionEngineering design

For this purpose, a sizing process hasbeen adopted to demonstrate a long-range planning capability for electric general aviationaircraft. This study examines five case studies, all based on the Ryan NYP and Lancair-IV: theaircraft are sized for four unique technology packages including two different internalcombustion engine, one all-electric, and one hybrid-electric powertrains. In this way the designsensitivities can be adopted to generate lessons learned for green transportation.

In addition, this outreach project exposed theundergraduates to the demand for more engineers and encourages them to continue outreach incommunity.Introduction The United States is increasingly looking to engineering as part of the solution to ourrecent economic downturn, as well as to global challenges including sustainability and ever-changing technology. To this end, President Obama set a goal to graduate 10,000 moreengineers each year from American institutions [1]. In addition, Energy Secretary Steven Chuhas stated, “We need engineers. We need scientists. This is going to be at the heart of how theUnited States is going to remain competitive” [2

Nearly every student whoattended the Making the Most of Site Visits learning experience said they captured a picture toprovide evidence of a particular engineering design challenge. One student expressed frustrationthe team forgot a camera because this student believed “cameras offer better evidence.”Engineering design educators may benefit from helping students learn to critically evaluatepictorial evidence. Moreover, the high value students place on being efficient may undermineother learning objectives. For example, one student team reflected that having a

unable to find the time, money or resources to learn the technologies demanded by emerging industry. In reality, this is due to a lack of effective NA education methodology which can be solved by applying an elastic system with the best practices of: educational curriculum support, network technology, engineering and management, which can make the NA curriculum effectively adapt to the drastic changes of industry requirements. Consequently, college education in NA needs to adapt and promote viable curriculum innovation in order to improve the efficacy and preparedness of the next generation network administrators. 3URFHHGLQJV RI WKH 6SULQJ 0LG$WODQWLF 6HFWLRQ

It will review the economics relating to cable types from a service provider and a userperspective. The findings will note there is limited evidence suggesting that copper cables should bephased out as last mile broadband solutions. Costs, technological advances, existinginfrastructure, political climate, and macroeconomics all play a role in determining what cablesbest will serve the needs of the network owners and users.
