Missiles, with some notable exceptions, are typically used as weapons of war. Theyare usually launched in an instantaneous manner (no taxi or takeoff run) from an airplane or aground station, and explode with some degree of lethality at their terminus (instant landing).Moreover, missiles are generally not reuseable.Airplane wings generally have higher aspect ratios than missile fins, although some fightersmight be viewed as exceptions. Airplanes are usually powered by reciprocating or jet engines.With some exceptions, missiles are typically powered by either liquid

By “users”, I mean everyone who uses it:students first of all, but also teachers, administrative, staff, and other school-related visitors. Oneessential component of “a welcoming” design is visibility. A user should always be able to findhis or her way from point A to point B with relative ease.

increasingdifficulties in the nation’s engineering curricula and resultant general shortcomings ofengineering graduates as determined by outcomes assessment. Although these shortcomingstake many faces, root causes are traceable to shortcomings in the core-defining characteristic ofan effective engineer: strong problem solving ability. Effective problem solving is predicatedon: (a) thorough understanding of technical background material required for the problem athand or an ability to obtain that understanding; (b) ability to integrate background material; (c)ability to sharpen a stated problem and produce a well-structured problem from an ill-structuredproblem; (d) ability to apply the background material systematically and effectively to theproblem; (e

Advocating Breadth in a World of Depth Steven H. VanderLeest Department of Engineering, Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI1 AbstractA typical four-year engineering curriculum is chock-full of courses, concepts, and ideas.However, four years is simply not enough time to explore the vast landscape of engineeringknowledge thoroughly. Thus trade-offs are made selecting material within a course as well asselecting courses within a curriculum. One of these trade-offs is depth versus breadth. At theextremes, the specialist is too narrow while the generalist is too shallow. Most curricula locatethemselves between these two poles, with general engineering programs leaning

Shortly thereafter, shejoined her father at his factory - Gleason Works. Kate Gleason promoted his business, whichbecame one of the leading sellers of machine tools in the United States and Europe largely due toher efforts.“Kate Gleason's place in American history is ironic. The accomplishment she is most oftencredited with, the invention of the gear planer, was her father's. Henry Ford mistakenlyattributed the invention to her, the press picked it up and it stuck.
