. Copyright ASEE Middle Atlantic Regional Conference Delaware April 20-21 2012ConclusionsThis explorative project shows that structural equation model is capable of providingquantitative information on the causative hypotheses/elements such as pre-requisites in asequence of courses. The LISREL software is fairly easy to implement and it is hopedthat the presented results would popularize the application of SEM in engineering andtechnology program pedagogy.AcknowledgementsPartial supports from several CUNY grants are gratefully acknowledged.References1.

to the increased sensitivity to nonnormality of the Shapiro-Wilk test as sample size is increased. Noting that the sum of two Poisson distributions, X 1 and X 2 , is distributedY = X 1 + X 2 and keeping in mind that such a Poisson distribution, Y , with a smalllambda parameter is positively skewed with a small variance, it would not be suprising tosee all the data massed at but two points which would have a S-W p-value well below the0.01 significance level implying departure from normality as can be seen in the followingplot of an empirical density of random Poisson sample with λ =0.50. This is evident in the data-pairs with small λ1 and λ2 . This data tended to haveproportionately small p-values from the Shapiro-Wilk test

The students’ diplomas were signed byPresident David Skorton, and presented by the Dean of the College of Engineering, Dr.Barry Butler.AssessmentStudents are given pre-session and post-session surveys in order to assess theeffectiveness of the program, as well as allow them the opportunity to provide feedbackto the coordinator(s). Students overwhelmingly report positive experiences with theprogram, and often ask for it to be longer. One 2003 ACE Academy student said, “I hadso much fun and gained so much college-life experience. I am so glad I was a part ofthis camp because it really helped me decided that biomedical engineering is almost forcertain what I would like to major in…I had no idea what to expect, but I was pleasantlysurprised

First, learning a new method may require some time, further,identifying which method is more appropriate to learn for the particular design problem can bedifficult. The knowledge or expertise to identify which method(s) are most appropriate for eachdesign problem, takes time to develop, and when considering multiple areas or disciplines in thedesign process, one can imagine the difficulty of becoming expert in more than one area (e.g.design quality, design creativity, sustainable

P2P, whichcollected quantitative data from 31 four-year engineering schools to provide information on thestructure of the design curriculum in nearly 120 engineering programs, augments the qualitativedata from P360.

Page 15.371.8While the technology readiness level is not linearly related to the rubric scores of capstoneproject demonstrations, when plotted against the TRL the demonstration score, S, has a quadraticdependence given by S = (TRL - 6)-.13 + 3.3. Thus demonstration scores are highest (mean of3.3) for a TRL of 6. This technology readiness level is defined as "Representative model orprototype system, which is well beyond the breadboard tested for TRL 5, tested in a relevantenvironment. Examples include testing a prototype in a high fidelity laboratory environment orin simulated operational environment."11. Thus capstone project which have students createprototype systems generally scored better than those which are more speculative or research

Create a table summarizing the cruise Mach number, altitude, initial and final weights (most airplanes burn fuel when they fly), range of the cruise segment, and other mission values that are important. You will need to read some of the flight manual information to estimate these weights, ranges, etc. This information will be used to define the reference condition(s) for your aerodynamic analysis. b.
