Despite this, ‘two-thirds of adult Americans consistently failsimple tests of environmental knowledge’2.It can only be imagined, how much high school and beginning college students know aboutenvironmental and ecological engineering and are aware that engineering is a major careerchoice for students who want to make an environmentally and ecologically sustainable impact.The following examples demonstrate that engineering skills and knowledge are essential toenvironmental protection and enhancement. First, would a person switch from a standardresidential home to an “energy efficient home”, if s/he knew that the carbon footprint, use ofenergy, and greenhouse gas emissions of

technology.III. What is Software Defined Radio(SDR)?Software Defined Radio (SDR)11-14 is an emerging technology built on one of the greatdevelopments of the 20th Century: fast and cheap microcomputers. It represents a new method inprocessing radio signals that is a quantum leap over the older, original method of analogprocessing.Since the invention of radio in the late 1800’s, signals have been processed through a singlemethod: the signal is picked up by an antenna that turns the radio wave back into a fluctuatingvoltage signal. This signal is passed on to various components in the receiver which react with itto eventually produce the sound, video or data that is desired.The function of these components and systems has been modeled mathematically in

We will specifically explain howsynchronous systems like videoconferencing over the Internet (especially video over IP) arebeing put to use in an attempt to minimize costs while extending the range and reach ofeducators.I. IntroductionDistance learning has been around for the last 75 years or more. Since the early 1930's distancelearning has seen phenomenal growth both in the number of people opting for a distance learningbased initiative as against a traditional classroom and in the technology used.

It is also becoming more difficult to coverengineering public policy at anything other than the federal level because of the vast amount ofinformation.

Students claimed that understanding how a hanging chain’s shape isdetermined from equilibrium helped solidify their understanding of how an arch is able to stand,and that a catenary is the optimal shape for an arch. Students also commented on theirunderstanding that the “[s]urface area of the blocks affects stability” and that “friction plays acrucial role in keeping the blocks together”.The Tanks and Culverts activity displayed positive results for understanding how granular mediabehaves in pipe structures. Most students seemed to grasp how gravity, in conjunction withfriction, produces the
