We offer some of our observations on the suitability of freely-available UNIX (andUNIX-like) systems for a variety of activities commonly associated with the personal computerdomain, with particular emphasis on inter-operability across various system platforms. Includedin our discussion are the increasingly-popular Linux, which can be used on many different typesof computer hardware, FreeBSD, and Sun Microsystems’ Solaris. In addition, we discussAT&T’s U/WIN system, which provides robust traditional UNIX services, and facilitates the useof many so-called open-source applications, on personal computers running Microsoft Windows.IntroductionOur goal for this

African American and women's communities within theR&D organization. Since the numbers of under-represented minority and women studentsgraduating with Ph.D.s in disciplines relevant to the work of the Labs was very small, theLabs leadership realized that they would have to take an active role in identifying,encouraging, and supporting students in these groups to pursue studies in mathematics andengineering.

The goals of this project were to create project modules that couldbe easily adaptable to various curriculums and applications, including K-12 programs.1In 2010 – 2012, three project modules were integrated into the first-year curriculum at MichiganTech: aquaculture, biomechanics, and wind energy. For the aquaculture module, students built,tested, and analyzed their own aerator or used 3D modeling to develop a new impeller for anexisting pump to use in water circulation. Students working on the biomechanics module createda prosthetic leg device and analyzed the motion and forces generated during the kickingmovement. Students

paper is to motivate and integratestudent learning process through mathematical models and equations for design.The methodology is realized using a mathematical model of a 6x6 wheel drive tractor satisfyingthe off-road profile. The methodology is used to find the optimum co-ordinates for the center ofgravity and optimum arrangements of the middle axle wheels along the tractor. The optimaltractive efficiency is then achieved by optimizing the geometric coordinates.Educational value of the paperThis paper is basically an analysis-based learning approach to motivate and integrate studentlearning process.

How could programs at each institution realistically provide relevant support andmentoring for these isolated individuals? It was decided that the partnership would create an integrated set of programsdesigned to address these problems across the four institutions.
