transfer. The classlectures were focused essentially on learning the engineering principles of these subjects andthen solving homework and quiz problems. The problems were clearly defined by the professorand/or textbook. Eventually, engineering students were exposed to ‘pencil and paper” designexercises with predetermined “right” solutions; actual class-related construction work tended tobe limited to small test devices, built by the book.In the 1970’s an assistant professor in the Mechanical Engineering department at MIT, WoodieFlowers, recognized that an innovative approach to engineering education would enhance thestudents’ education and he developed a hands-on project centered mechanical engineering designclass. This freshman course was

first year seminar, it is important for the cohort to include both studentsinterested in science majors as well as those interested in engineering majors because studentsare in either the School of Engineering or the School of Arts and Sciences. This inclusion allowsstudents to meet peers they would not normally interact with. This cohort model enablesstudents to broaden their perspectives as they potentially encounter students with interestsdifferent from their own.The RISE first year seminar is now offered in the fall and spring semesters, as a year-longopportunity for a cohort of s 25-30 students. The fall semester focuses on academicpreparedness and acclimates students to their college environment by introducing them to facultyand support
society. Here a novel curriculumwas proposed and shown to have a positive impact on a range of skill sets that are often neglectedin a traditional course format.References [1] Andy M Connor, Sangeeta Karmokar, and Chris Whittington.

The learning goals we set for the new program differ fromthe prior outcome goals. Hence we will need to treat Before/After comparisons very carefully.

Environmental Engineering Undergraduate Programs by NumberA query of ABET accredited civil and environmental engineering undergraduate programs as of2019 was conducted. It shows that there are at least 252 accredited civil engineering programsand 74 accredited environmental engineering programs in the USA. Many civil engineeringprograms have been continuously accredited since 1936 (especially for traditional land-grantinstitutions and older private universities) when ABET began accreditation for engineeringprograms. The oldest accredited environmental engineering program dates to 1966 at RensselaerPolytechnic Institute in New York. The majority of accredited environmental engineeringprograms have occurred since the 1990’s, 68 of the 74 universities (94

, consider the following instruction in ARM assembler:subs r0, r2, #3The purpose of the above instruction is to subtract the number 3 from register r2, storing theresult in register r0. Since that is the main point of the instruction, students usually can learn thatmuch. However, there are actually three things happening during the one instruction:1. Subtraction of the value.2. The CPU must move on to read the next instruction3. The CPU compares the result against zero because the operation has an s appended (set flags)The fact that an instruction has one primary function, and two more ancillary actions isintrinsically difficult. Many students simply miss one or both of the ancillary actions, despitehaving heard the professor review this multiple
. External failure costs are themost significant since they are found by the customer and would likely impact their level ofsatisfaction. Their true impact in the long run is unknown or unknowable [1]. Overall, Juranestimated that unplanned quality-related costs could be as high as 20% of sales [4]Since their inception as a quality management concept in the 1950’s, research on quality costsensued with models developed for optimization. The PAF, which refers to prevention (P),appraisal (A), and failure (F) is the first of such models. The PAF model shows the total qualitycost function as the sum of costs of conformance (P and A) and costs of nonconformance (F) [5].The three functions (cost of conformance, cost of nonconformance and total quality

It varies from bottom to top in the range of 18 to 40 m/s. This velocity variance is caused bythe sharp ninety degree flow direction change.
