A general handout of "Design your Process forBecoming a World-Class Engineering Student" has been published in Appendix A of “StudyingEngineering: A Road Map to a Rewarding Career”11. The project challenges students to evaluatethemselves against a benchmark student—referred to as a "world-class" engineering student—based on the following objectives: 1. Setting goal(s), e.g. which major to pursue, graduating with an engineering degree, etc. 2. Developing a strong commitment to the goal of graduating in engineering, setting-up a plan to graduation 3. Being prepared to deal with inevitable adversity 4. Managing various aspects of personal life including interactions with family and friends

These types of fixtures are different interm of initial cost, energy consumption and can give you relatively the same quality of light(CRI and CT).Upgrade from T12: The need to upgrade the fluorescent T12 luminaires is not only to save up to40% of energy, but because of the legislation mandated the phase-out of the majority of T12lamp production is effective since July 2012. Other benefits are to improve the lighting quality,improves light output and color quality, eliminates flickering and buzz that T12’s can cause, andmakes your building look better/feel newer. All these lead to increase the productivity.For energy considerations, and according to International Energy Conservation Code, theLighting Power Density is

Claims can beabout student learning gains, student misunderstandings, and overall mastery of

and ethicalresponsibility" as one of its required student outcomes.1 There are different approaches todealing with ethical or moral issues. One approach to ethical issues is based on virtues, that is, totake as a reference the moral qualities engineers should have, such as honesty, compassion,respectfulness, etc. Each decision is judged against these qualities or virtues. The decision thatseems to be most in line with the relevant moral virtue(s) is considered to be the best decision,even if it means that certain rules are broken with negative consequences. These approaches canbe found in the ethical codes of professional engineering organizations such as the IEEE Code ofEthics.2 Another approach is based on consequences,3 which requires an

The faculty gives a list of journal articles (usuallybetween 3 and 6 total) related to one topic of the project (for example, ligament injurymechanism, biomechanical properties of ligament, cell-materials interaction, mechanicalstimulation, etc) to the team for review. Each student is also assigned one or two articles fromthe list, and is expected to thoroughly understand the assigned article(s). At the biweekly Page 26.672.6meeting, each student presents a summary of the assigned article(s), followed by discussion tocompare different studies and relate them to the
