Introduction Acoustic underwater communications are governed by three factors: limited bandwidth,time-varying multipath propagation, and low speed of sound in water [1] and [2]. In underwaterenvironments, radio waves do not propagate well due to above environmental conditions soacoustic channels are employed. The propagation speed of acoustic signals in water is about1.5x103 m/s, five orders of magnitude lower than the radio

Also, the archival nature of the data did notallow for additional data collection to understand findings or points of interest that arose duringdata analysis.Bibliography1.

Effectively 3h Understanding of the Impact of Engineering Solutions in Global, Economic, Environmental, and Cultural/Societal Contexts 3i Recognition of and Ability to Engage in Life-Long Learning 3j Knowledge of Contemporary IssuesThe EPSA method is a discussion-based performance task designed to elicit students’ knowledgeand application of engineering professional skills. In a 45-minute session, small groups ofstudents are presented with a complex, real-world scenario that includes multi- faceted,multidisciplinary engineering issues. They are then asked to determine the most importantproblem/s and to discuss stakeholders, impacts, unknowns, and possible solutions. The EPSRubric, an analytic rubric, was developed to measure the extent to which
our researchsubjects. The categories and codes are being refined iteratively using both inductive anddeductive approaches, which allow us to leverage our prior knowledge of the domain of interestas well as our growing familiarity with the collected data. The current categories include: • National Cultures Involved: Including host location and culture, and guest culture(s). • Situation-Motivation: The main reason or motivation for the situation or case, such as ex- patriate assignment, greenfield plant start-up, cross-national collaborative project, etc. • Situation-Cultural Dimensions: Relevant cultural dimensions evident in the case, such as those drawn from Hofstede’s work (e.g., power distance, individualism vs

Phrasing it differently, knowledge resides in the questions that can be asked andthe answers that can be provided (2) .A sequence of inquiry characterized by a hierarchy: certainquestions need to be asked and answered before other questions can be asked. There is a setprocedure which constitutes the inquiry process in an epistemological context. Taxonomies ofsuch a procedure or inquiry process have been extended to computational models(4) , to theintricacy between asking and learning(5) , and would also apply to the questions students askduring a class and/or tutoring session(6).There are two classes of questions within a design context; the first is the

to examine the how the engineering profession has tackled the challenge ofimproving international mobilization and standards of professional engineers and engineeringservices they provide. This is often a challenge for multi-national companies andorganizations that operate trans-nationally. Future engineers will need to rethink theirlearning journey and pathways to professional recognition to be better prepared to tackle amore regionalized, integrated, and dynamic world1.

carry significantly more information but limited in distance to a fewhundred meters. Acoustic communication is the most versatile and widely used technique inunderwater environments due to the low attenuation (signal reduction) of sound in water.This is especially true in thermally stable, deep water settings. On the other hand, the use ofacoustic waves in shallow water can be adversely affected by temperature gradients, surfaceambient noise, and multipath propagation due to reflection and refraction. The much slower speed of acoustic propagation in water, about 1500 m/s (meters per second),compared with that of electromagnetic and optical waves is another limiting factor for efficientcommunication and networking [1]. Therefore, acoustic waves
has a unique character. In our project, researchers in CalPoly and PKU are involved in these activities. Communication between faculty advisors andstudents on all sides is important to the success of this project. We also hold annual meeting forthe collaboration to exchange ideas both on research and culture.AcknowledgementThis project is currently supported by 1) NSF Grant OSIE Award #1029135 from year 2010 to2013 2) Chinese National Key Research Lab Collaboration Grant 2011, 2012, Peking Universityin China.Reference 1.

inconsistent use of symbols between relatedcourses. For example, some authors use sn, ss, and e for normal stress, shear stress, and strain,instead of the standard Greek symbols σ, τ, and ε. This use of Latin characters with multiplesubscripts confuses students because the Greek symbols are used in textbooks for other courses,and because capital S is used for section modulus later in this course. Students have troubledistinguishing between s and S on the chalkboard during lectures (and in their notes).My students also complain about the high cost of textbooks. In the last 30 years, textbook costs Page 23.673.3have risen about twice as fast as inflation
Energy Audit Labenhances existing energy audits, traditionally conducted within NDE, and expands this lab toapply to both the NDE and DfE courses, where the built environment is closely examined.Learning objectives and associated Bloom’s levels of intellectual behavior9 for the IRT EnergyAudit Lab are listed in Table 1. Teams of students conducted an energy audit of an existingstructure by utilizing an IRT camera in addition to a regular digital camera. In the energy auditlab assignment, shown in Figure 3, students utilized temperature information generated by theIRT camera and calculated the potential building’s energy losses for the area(s) depicted in thecamera images. Students took this quantitative approach one step further and calculated
