indicators shows that they are mostlyeconomic, social or health oriented and few such measures have science and/or engineeringcontent. Further, while they may reflect some degree of progress toward desired ends, theyreflect little or no cause. Therefore, this suggests that the indicators give little information aboutcause and effect of the intended development, but represent aggregated results in a way as to notbe readily identifiable with pertinent inputs. In the search for engineering excellence in pursuit ofeconomic growth and sustainable development it is believed that indicators should containfactors that are more cause and effect related.Few direct measures of the science and engineering exist throughout the continent.

The journals not only recorded each member’s thoughts (material, methodology,perceptions, attitudes, etc.) as the week progressed, but also provided insight into possible hintsfor successful teaching. ETW is about learning and practicing new skills, internalizing methodsfor successful teaching, and developing as teachers during the week.

other than studyingwhile other students in other majors seem to have plenty. It was assumed that students who were willing to live this life and wanted to be anengineer had a well developed understanding or definition of engineering. When the students ofthis study were asked to reflect back and discuss these definitions we found that most studentssimply did not know what an engineer does. This is interesting because these students havestated that they wanted to be an engineer. For example, Anthony was asked what is yourdefinition of an engineer; Anthony replied, "I don't know if I really have a definition." Manystudents just don't know. For many students we heard comments that were very similar tocomments made by Rachel, who said "I

The fourth gradeteacher returned only a single email response to the software instead of the standardizedobservation sheets.Grade 1 Teacher Comments: • “The software is very engaging. The vivid colors and animation make it an environment that the students really want to explore. They like the ability to turn the music on and off since some students work better with noise and others work better in quiet.” • “Some of my students had trouble logging on to the software when they first started.

Actually, this image has already beenproposed by a major engineering employer (Boeing 1997) and endorsed by many engineeringsocieties, as reflected in the main themes of recent professional conferences.Images materialize in concrete practices and processes when those challenged by the images(executives, managers, engineers) agree to allocate and redirect resources (people, money,assets) to specific ends.

The four parts are executedin one iteration during which the coal fly ash particle is assumed to settle regardless of how longthe particle is airborne. The wind speed and direction are set during the entire time of an iteration.This iterative process is repeated several times to account for the random changes in wind speedand direction.The size of fly ash particle is selected using Figure 2 and Equation 6. Figure 2 reflects the actualdistribution of particles typically found in coal fly ash. Equation 3 is used to compute its terminalvelocity using Stokes’ law. Next, wind

This design considered electric, oil, and propaneenergy source options, two of which did not meet the MC director’s sustainability criteria. Thetypes of insulation considered were fiberglass, polystyrene foam, and reflective insulation.Thermostats and a ventilation system were recommended for installation, but very littleinformation was presented on the specific system to be installed. No system parameters,mathematical approximations, or heat transfer modeling were presented to size the system. Theteam estimated that this design could cost up to $7000. The cost optimized

Althoughvariation in faculty workload between teaching and research is healthy for ensuring qualityeducation in the classroom, as well as quality research productivity, variation in faculty rewardsdoes not reflect this variation in faculty workload8, 9, 10. When compared to the typical,quantitative reward system for research, which is based on funding and publication productivity,evaluation of teaching is difficult because of its qualitative and subjective nature and is oftenlimited to student course evaluations despite other available evaluation methods1, 4.In addition, „balancing‟ is an elusive and subjective concept.

An able and committed lecturer can accomplish the following: 1. Relate the material proficiently and effectively, in a manner that reflects lecturer’s personal conviction and grasp of the subject matter; 2. Provide students with a thoughtful, scholarly role model to emulate; 3.

the piston. As with the Newcomen pump, the balancing ofthe pump, piston and beam caused the piston to rise due to gravity. The cycle was repeated. Thefirst two strokes were operated manually. Then trips on the plug rod to the air pump controlled thevalve sequencing. A noteworthy feature included an air pump operated by the rocking beam thatdrew non-condensable gases out of the condenser. 25 Watt’s early engines worked on steampressures similar to Newcomen’s. Pressures higher than about 7 psi above atmospheric were rarelyused. 26 This situation reflects the state of boiler strength to avoid rupture and the ability of glandseals and piston rings to minimize leakage.Watt described the performance of an engine at Wheal Butson in 1792.
