future engineers willalso think more green energy efficient in the original designs they perform since they will nowhave the tools to evaluate options and present the long term savings of a greener energy designthat might have a slightly more initial cost. It is hoped that more programs will find room intheir programs for a similar course to the one presented in this paper.Bibliography1. Capehart, B. L., Turner, W. C. & Kennedy, W.J., (2008).

Overall, thepreliminary findings of formative and summative evaluations support the claim that the newlydeveloped course was effective in helping students develop conceptual understanding andinterest in quantum mechanics. We have also identified areas for further improvement of hands-on and virtual lab experiments. The course materials as well as evaluation instruments form asolid foundation for further development and expanded offering in other institutions of thiscourse for engineering students.AcknowledgementThis research was supported by NSF Grant No. DUE-0837670.Bibliography1 D.

Faculty worked in their area(s) of expertise.The result is a set of materials that is targeted directly at sophomore students. Each sub-discipline area was instructed to devote one lesson of their module to introducing their sub-discipline and three lessons to explaining one (or more) facet of the sub-discipline.

: • Project-1: the students were given digital logic functions such as f =xx +x x,1 2 2 3 and were asked to implement them by using the standard 7400 series chips. Figure 1 depicts a typical practical implementation of the logic function f . The students were asked to prepare the truth table of the circuits, and to implement them on breadboards and verify the expected functional operations. An Light Emitting Diode (LED)s were connected to the output of the logic circuits so that Logic 0 and Logic 1 output could be identified easily, i.e., when the light was on, Logic 1 is understood while logic 0 is interpreted when the light was off. x1

The results indicate that, at least for the sampleprojects, construction time was significantly lower when design-build delivery method was used.By converting the value of the intercept and assigned values of delivery methods to theirexponentials (EXP), the model for estimating actual construction time in South India may beexpressed as follows:TIME = 2.354*COSTβ1*EXP(DBB)-0.094*EXP(DB)-0.661 Eqn.

become a reality it is necessary to identify: 1) how students are thinking about Page 22.204.2engineering and 2) how their beliefs change over time. Since much of the previous research hasfocused on secondary levels, it is time that we take what has been learned and begin to determineat which stage(s) in the students’ development conceptions and beliefs are being generated. Forexample, if we know that female and minority students are shying away from engineering whenthey come out of high school because of lack of understanding about the profession, then it isvital to determine at what point they formulate these beliefs and implement

calculate the catalog rating load. This process can be quite diver-gent as a poor selection of bearing can actually increase the required catalog rating load dependingprimarily on the radial-to-axial dynamic load rating factor K. A low K at one bearing induces alarge axial load on the other bearing requiring it to be a (needlessly) larger bearing. Clearly, sucha poor choice warrants a penalty because the larger bearing would in general cost more. Students work homework assignments using the code(s) and develop a design philosophy forbearings. That is, they consider what type of bearing to use by asking the questions: What types ofloads are there?; Are axial loads present?; Which type of bearing is better suited for these loads?;How big does the
