Session ETD 345In a report compiled by Dr. Bo Beaulieu1 in 2015, economic development data within theNorthwest Indiana counties shows a gap compared to the rest of the state. Data from the regionaldevelopment report noted: • 2001-2013 Northwest counties were issued patents at a rate of 1.6 per 10,000 jobs, while the remaining Indiana counties garnered 4 patents per 10,000 jobs • Stage 1 (2-9 employees) establishments expanded by 85% while stage 2 (10-99 employees) establishments slipped by 4 percent between 2000 and 2011 • Unemployment rate gap between the region and the rest of the state began to close in 2010 and 2011, it increased in 2013. The unemployment in the region was 1.5 percent higher than the rest

On the other hand, thecorrosion protection fluid can be used to rinse the machined parts in addition to being used as aprotective film for the parts [1].Material used for corrosion protection can leave a hard or soft film on the manufactured partsurface after the protective fluid evaporates [2]. The period of protection ranges from few days toover a year depending on the different characteristics of the protective fluid. Selection of thetemporary protective fluid is usually based on the material of the part to be protected, surface finishof the part, time of immersion or application time, application atmosphere or the surroundingenvironment, and temperature

Even though both ABET, an accrediting body of engineering andengineering technology programs [1], [2], and employers have indicated the need for students toknow more about standards before entering the workforce [3], the topic is not alwaysincorporated into curricula [4]. One reason is that many faculty believe that “adding anything toalready jam-packed curriculum is dismissed as virtually impossible” [5]. At Purdue Universityhowever, faculty have risen to the

BC was made by containing the bricks within a fire,as well as enclosing the fires in kilns to gain more heat. This did not allow even heat distributionand could not penetrate the entire brick to bake it uniformly [1]. The bricks made using this“low-fire” technique were combined with lime mortar to make buildings. Lime mortar and low-fire brick have a similar density and possess the same capillary qualities. Therefore, moisturemoved equally throughout both the brick and mortar.In 1824, Joseph Aspdin discovered Portland Cement; a mixture of limestone and clay thathardens with water. It quickly showed its usefulness with brick layers, as the cure time is quickerthan the traditional limestone cement. Brick layers in the United States began
