applied inthis case [6].Challenge-based Ocean Engineering Project (COEP)The top-level objectives of this challenge-based ocean engineering project were two-fold: (a)respond to a report of potential UXO sighting and search a rectangular area approximately 100feet by 75 feet with depths of water up to 40 feet for the potential UXO; (b) If potential UXOwas located, then (1) provide as precise of a geo-location as possible in order to enable theExplosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) expert to respond to the exact location and (2) provide asmuch information as possible on the located object(s) to an EOD subject matter expert (SME) onshore. The goal of providing this information was to enable the SME to assess if the object waspotentially dangerous, not

opportunities for undergraduate laboratory instructionAbstract:This paper outlines a two-semester senior engineering design project that was carried out tostudy a moderately well-defined chemical reaction involving sodium borohydride in aqueousconditions to generate hydrogen for fuel cell applications. Sodium borohydride hydrolysis hasbeen studied extensively since the early 1940’s as a promising hydrogen storage material, whichprovides a content-rich study area for engineering design coursework and undergraduatelaboratory experiences related to energy, hydrogen, and energy storage potential. Throughout thetwo-semester project design course, a two-student engineering team carried out literature reviewsand bench work that lead them to investigate

globally focused experiences outscored those who did not.Notably, the mean EGPI score of students who reported study abroad was significantly higherthan that of those who did not study abroad. In contrast, participation in second-languagecourses, projects or internships abroad, or having an international roommate did not reveal astatistically significant difference in students’ EGPI or GPI performance.Stepwise regression analysis was used to determine potential relationships among studentexperiences and their global preparedness. The regression results indicated that the combinationof such experiences including engineering focused service learning, study abroad, and non-engineering course(s) with a global focus accounted for approximately 12% of

Much of this confusion comes from attemptsto demonstrate an understanding of what was actually observed.In their seminal book, “Writing Ethnographic Fieldnotes,” Emerson, Fretz, and Shaw2 discusstechniques for writing effective fieldnotes in a variety of observational settings. They state thatfieldnotes can often be written from multiple perspectives. Using a first-person point of view,researchers are able to describe specifically what they observe or experience during the datacollection process.

Page 26.1608.4 Graduate students’ views on teaching are in part a result of their departmental culture,revolving around the perceived status of who teaches and who doesn’t. Even though Feldon etal.’s study on graduate student teaching presents “direct, performance-based evidence ofimprovement on specific research skills associated with teaching experiences that complementtraditional graduate research training”[16], teaching is still considered a separate role withoutpositive impacts on research or the faculty career. In many engineering departments, there is aperception that teaching is “grunt work

In today’ s society, many data hiding algorithmsand steganographic algorithms have been introduced in order to protect valuable information.Steganography is one of the methods that protects and hides valuable data from unauthorizedpeople without hackers having any suspicion of the data’ s existence.

Results are presented for the sensor readings for dilute solutions ofammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) in various concentrations. The participating students show a verygood correlation of concentration level with the output response of the QCM. The students alsofind that QCM is very sensitive to the scan rate of the voltage potential.Ammonium nitrate has long been used as a high nitrogen fertilizer in the agriculture industry. Inthe 1950’s it was discovered that ammonium nitrate mixed with fuel oil (ANFO) provided anexcellent explosive that could be used in the mining industry. Since ANFO
