Moving from a reactive recruitingprocess to a proactive recruiting process takes a leadership change, department change, searchchair change, and individual change.The following recommendations are provided to other institutions if they are trying to changetheir recruiting process and results to include more diversity. a. Make diversity recruiting at the faculty level a clearly defined university priority (through a Strategic Planning or Compact Planning Process, if available). b. Make new recruiting procedures and processes consistent throughout targeted colleges. c. Incorporate diversity recruiting goals into performance evaluations at the Dean

This paper discusses the course, "Leadership and Teamwork from Within" that uses amix of experiential learning approach, community service, and problem based learning to teachbasic concepts of leadership and teamwork. The course was created and coordinated by twofaculty members, an engineer and a historian, and served Honors Students in TechnologyPrograms at the College of Applied Science, University of Cincinnati. The paper provides a briefhistorical overview of applied or technical education in the U.S. Next it discusses the objectivesof the course and the pedagogy that the faculty used to accomplish these objectives

essential for the design of the gas turbine that the gasproperties computed at each stage be accurate. The thermodynamic properties of air cannot becomputed directly from a given set of equations, as air comprises of a mixture of nitrogen,oxygen and argon. It was thus necessary to calculate the properties of each of these individualgases before calculating the properties of air. The properties needed for thermodynamic analysisof the gas turbine were: a) Specific Heat b) Enthalpy c) Internal Energy d) Absolute Entropy e) Relative Pressure f) Relative Volume The properties were calculated using procedures detailed in References 2-5, using up to7th order polynomial approximation
