Trafficdemand keeps increasing greatly over time, but capacity stays the same. Furthermore, most ofthe nation’s highway system was built during construction boom between the 50’s and 80’s, with20 years design life. Most of them already exceeded their original design life. For this reason,there are serious growing concerns about road user safety and inconvenience to the travelingpublic. To address the concerns, many states are now under increased pressure to rebuild aginghighway infrastructure systems that need timely renewal within a few years.

solving the entire MineMadness problem was too difficult in the time allocated so the design problem was simplified to focus exclusively on “getting-over-the-wall,” i.e. the 4 x 4 or 4 x 8’s and no longer was stability, steering and mine management functionality required. Thatsaid, design teams were advised to plan for the addition of eventual steering and mine management modules to be incorporated(in a stable sense) into their machines. Detailed design and manufacturing ensued with students heavily utilizing the CADsystem (SolidWorks [6-9,10]), machine shop, and machine component suppliers (note: no “parts kit” was provided). The lattercomment is important since most students were totally unfamiliar with where to find and purchase real

As the type of mechanical tolerances required wouldbe in the single micrometer range, there was a question as to whether or not this optoelectronicsystem could be developed at an acceptable cost.So I visited the optical research lab with great hopes. After introductions, I asked the researcher,who had developed the sophisticated software, questions relating to how the coupling of the lightis affected by varying L, F, O l , O s and the mode filed diameter of the laser and fiber.

founding of the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) and the Engineering Council for Professional Development (ECPD) as an accrediting agency in the mid 1930’s were reflective of the efforts of higher education to respond to this need for quality assurance in the educational preparation of engineers. In 1980, ECPD metamorphosed into the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).  At the technician level, the response was less organized and more diffuse, with the emergence of many post-secondary trade schools in the first half of the twentieth century. Such schools were highly focused upon the requirements of a specific industry, and were almost always private, for-profit entities outside

Finite Element SolutionThe transient solution uses two time steps. The first time step of ∆t = 0.1 s is usedfor the initial portion of the solution where the nonlinear terms are most important.The second time step of ∆t = 100 s is used for the long term solution.Results for the transient solution (t=[0, 5000] s) are shown in figures 2 and 3.Notice that because the bottom half of the duct is insulated, temperatures in thebottom half of the pipe are higher than in the top half.
