Air enters the carburetorthrough the air intake system which includes the air cleaner and attached intake manifolds. Theamount of air entering the engine is regulated using the combination of a choke valve and throttleplate. As the air enters the intake system it is pushed past the venturi. At this point, a vacuum

There is widespread industry concerns about decreasing levels of mathematical ability and a recognized need to develop the communication and other inter-personal skills needed to ensure lifelong learning aspirations for the students. Many researchers debate between the importance of professional training versus education and determine whether to teach first year students fundamentals of engineering first or help to inspire them to become motivated about an engineering career [1]. However, there is a consensus on the need for first year engineering students to learn how to approach their studies and degree in a meaningful manner without

Active and peer-to-peer learning strategies were employed both inside and outside of the lab environment in a two-course electronics sequence at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Villanova University. This flipped-lab approach was employed in an attempt to determine if this approach would (1) provide opportunities for faculty to challenge the students to perform more complex electronic circuit designs (2) foster more

For the 38% ofstudents who preferred a single learning style, most preferred read/write (18%) modes oflearning. Only 3% of students had an aural learning preference, while 9% had a visual learningpreference, and 8% leaned towards kinesthetic (Fig. 1).

Companies five years or older had eliminated more jobs thanthey created in all but eight of those years.
