, experimental determination of center of mass and other assignments areused to prepare the students for a detailed analysis of their race car. Students used theseproblems to analytically determine the maximum acceleration of their cars during a 50-foot raceand the time required to complete a hill climbing contest. The stall torque of the car’s motor(s)is calculated using an incline test, then compared to the published motor torque of 0.276 in-lbs.If the students choose to use gearing or pulleys for their cars, they are required to calculate theeffective output torque using appropriate gear ratios and estimated power losses. Using thedetermined values for the vehicle center of mass, the mass moment of inertia, and the motortorque, the students

conceivable that the server is engaged incommunication with multiple clients. The server can manage the multiple clients using one oftwo different approaches.One approach is to instantiate a server instance for each client. Thus each server instance,corresponding to a client, is logically disjoint from other server instances. Another approach is tohave only one server instance which is common to all clients. In the latter case the server has toknow which client endpoint it should wait on to read. This paper concerns a student project toaddress this problem.To make the project simpler, we assume there are two client processes, C1 and C2, that arecreated using the fork system call. The server, S, waits for connection requests from C1 and C2;S accepts a

For the next almost 50 years it served as aschool for first generation college bound students of European immigrants.. By the 1950’s, theeconomic and social development in Newark had gained momentum as the city prospered.However, things began to change during the 1950’s with the active movement by the blackcommunity for equality in deed rather than words. Then in July, 1967 racial violence swept thecity. The black neighborhoods were inflamed and the National Guard entered Newark. The oncebeautiful, prosperous city of Newark became the classic example of the urban blight thatovercame many of America’s cities

Thesecontributions notwithstanding, the U.S. faces a potentially serious shortage of engineers in thenear future. According to the National Science Board, the U.S. is unable to keep pace with othercountries in the rate at which college-age youth earn science and engineering (S&E) degrees.Six percent of American 24-year olds hold S&E degrees, versus 10% in the United Kingdom and9% in South Korea. Even as U.S. degree production lags, the number of S&E jobs is expected toincrease three times faster than all other occupations in the next decade.1To compensate for this shortfall, the U.S. has increasingly

The University ofChicago, for example, has had a Journal of Law and Economics since 1958.1 The Encyclopediaof Law and Economics, which is published in the Netherlands, has two Nobel Laureates inEconomics on its Editorial Board.2Because important relationships exist between law and economics, it is appropriate to inquire:What area(s) of the law (if any) are most relevant to a course in engineering economics?Environmental law might be a candidate, as it is relevant to environmental engineers, but it is toospecialized to be of general interest in a course on engineering

The28 questions are scored according to the patterns they illustrate, and from these scores theLCI profile is generated.

Several project case summarieswill be presented with attention given to student reaction, sponsor grading and instructorcomments. Details of the process will be discussed with little emphasis on the technical aspectsof the projects. A discussion of anticipated changes to the process will also be presented.In recent years the makeup and background of students in most engineering programs haschanged dramatically. Programs are very diverse in both student motivation and background. Inthe 1960’s and 70’s the major deviation from the traditional undergraduate student was
