Cleveland has provided useful insight on how to design graphicsfor clarity and to eliminate distortion of data,18 but his work is not generally cited in Engineeringpublications and courses.Problems with publishing research (questions about anomalous data, duplicate publication,authorship status, plagiarism, and copyright violations) have been addressed by numerousresearchers.19,20,21 Much of this work, however, has come out of the medical community, whichhas developed ethical codes in response; as an example, see the explanation of applicable codeson publication and authorship developed by the American Psychological Association.22Responsible Conduct of Research (2003)23 uses
analysis.IntroductionThe authors of the National Academy of Science report Rising above the Gathering Storm1 writewith urgency of the need for the United States to strengthen the scientific and technical buildingblocks that lead to economic prosperity. The number of Master’s and Ph.D. degrees awarded inengineering has decreased approximately 7% and 13%, respectively, from 1996 to 20012 and thenumber of Ph.D.’s awarded in mechanical engineering has decreased approximately 19% from1996 to 20043. Engineering dynamics, which encompasses areas such as flight dynamics,vibration isolation for precision manufacturing, earthquake engineering, structural healthmonitoring, signal processing, and experimental modal analysis is naturally affected by thisdecrease in numbers
.Before actual measures of network growth can be discussed, the concept of strong andweak ties must be defined. Within a network or community, there are variations in thestrength of the connections between different members. For engineering education, hereare some example ties, listed in order of increasing strength: 1. heard of a person and/or her work 2. met that person once 3. talk with that person semi-regularly, regularly or frequently 4. cite the other person’s scholarly work 5. collaborate with the person on proposal(s) or conference paper(s) 6. coauthor a journal article with this personTo run a social network analysis, the researcher must decide which level is mostappropriate to the study.

Eight options were provided, and each student teamin each lab section selected one of these eight spaces (without duplication within a lab section).The selection of was design project spaces was ordered according to a class-determined rankingof the creativity exhibited in the outcome of an in-class team ice-breaking assignment.The objectives of the design project were to (1) engage the student in a problem solving/designprocess, in which s/he identifies a problem, locates relevant information, develops and analyzespossible alternatives, and formulates

increasing their representation in the non-traditional fieldsof study and are becoming more knowledgeable of technology’s multi-facet components,there still remains significant under-representation of females in areas such as IndustrialTechnology. Nelson (2004) 33 indicated that lack of female representation in technologymay be due to a threefold purpose: “(1) women of the world lack knowledge oftechnology, (2) technology alienates and often exploits women, and (3) decisions abouttechnology are made without women’s voices” (p.2). This is reflected from Mayer’s(1995)27assertion that females comprise only 30 percent of the industrial workforce. Thisglobally illustrates moderate but consistent initiatives. The U. S. Department of Labor(2003)38 reported
Companies, a professional services firmspecializing in risk and insurance services. Based on reviews of the fire literature,andunderstanding of the use of the space, and a survey of office plans, students selected an officeload of 52 kg/m2 as a representative fuel load. Realizing that flames were still observed at thecollapse time of 102 min, students estimated a burn time for the 96th floor of WTC1 of 120 min.Finally, students used the estimated office load, total floor area of 2873 m2, and estimated burntime to approximate an overall burning rate of 21 kg/s. Scale analysis was then used in order todesign a small scale office load producing similar dimensionless local and overall burning ratesand burn times. The students designed 150 mm x 150 mm x

instructions. At times, multiple buildingprojects were in progress simultaneously; on average there were 2 simultaneous projects.When the children decided to construct something with the blocks, they may or may not elicit theassistance of 1 or more classmates. Sometimes, a child decided to start a project solo and wasthen approached by an interested classmate. The classmate first asked for permission to assistand then joined in if permission was granted – if permission was denied they either started theirown project or moved along to another play area. Permission was rarely denied and rarely, if atall, did the other children just watch. If the child had already decided what s/he wanted to buildthen they would give verbal instructions and guidance to

With this designevolution all ( or nearly all ) of the holes should eventually get filled, however the orientation ofthe pixels should only be correct 25% of the time on average. ( The rest of the “3”s will besideways or upside down. )Iteration “4” ( bottom row center ) replaces the single piece of Velcro with two smaller pieces,one the “fuzzy” side of the Velcro and one the “hook” side. This adjustment reduces the bondingforce to hold pixels into the holes, but ensures that they can only stick into the holes in
