Having the surveys ready sooner would likely lead to ahigher response rate and would provide students the opportunity to reflect on their experiencewhile it is still fresh in their mind. Future surveys should also look to remove questions that showed little to no correlationto the success of the externship. Shorter surveys encourage a faster response rate and preventfrustration from students feeling like they have answered the same question in multiple manners.This would also make room for researchers to add other questions to find other correlations tosuccess of the experiences. Further research should include surveys of the externship sponsors to gain

countries (such as China and India) in thenumbers of qualified engineering graduates overall.Another well-known issue with engineering is the field’s persistent lack of diversity. Sinceengineering pervades every aspect of modern life, it is vital that engineering products andprocesses reflect the diversity of the population they aim to serve. Engineering products (such as,say, voice recognition devices) used by a highly diverse population should not be designedoverwhelmingly by Caucasian males. In addition, the changing demographics of the US (the factthat the Caucasian population will be a minority in the next few decades) spell doom forengineering programs if the engineering community doesn’t do a better job of attracting andretaining a more

experiences to every other subject would encourage even more this competences profile, although it will require a greater involvement from the academic institution, as well as the teaching staff. The actual assessment of the curriculum with few coordination between subjects greatly complicates those learning models focused on the student. Concretely, problem-based learning needs support from previous courses, which caused an additional issue for many students who had not applied any of these required knowledge ever before. This was reflected in the answers to open questions belonging to students who had less experience in the practical application of knowledge. Besides, many universities, inside their management structures

A process that could inevitably end up transforming our school forever. I want to see that succeed. I am also learning about "change management" as a business management major. Likewise I get to meet some pretty smart people who also want to reapply their work life to all forms of life whether it be communal, agricultural, or economical.

Add to this a change in the direction the illumination isoriginating from, resulting in shading and shadows being created, the angle of view a camera hason the subjects face, and a person can become unrecognizable to a facial recognition system.1 Hiremath and Prabhakar 2 noted that there are also variances in how light reflects fromhuman faces depending on the color, or skin tone of people from different

conclusion will be presentedin Section 5.2. Fundamentals of Solar EnergySolar energy has the theoretical potential to power the entire world. Over the course of a year,the earth receives 17 GW of energy from the sun. Approximately 30% of the solarradiation is reflected back into space while the rest is absorbed by clouds, oceans, and landmasses. So the earth’s surface receives roughly 89 GW of energy. The yearly globalconsumption of energy is 16 GW5. Therefore, capturing all the global solar energy for asmall time period can nearly fulfill this amount. Solar energy can be converted to both heat andelectricity. Solar heating can be used to provide domestic hot water, space heating, cooking, anddrying. Direct solar
