As one Fellow wrote: “Fundamentally, we seek toaccurately, concisely, and appropriately communicate our findings, experience, information,recommendations, warnings, instructions, professional opinions, etc. to other people.” TheFellows also noted that if the information was not accurate or well-communicated, it was notgoing to be valued or taken seriously as inaccuracy can undermine the trust in an engineer’swork. Communication, the Fellows determined, is a mutual process and experience. Engineers needto be able to receive information, process it and respond accurately with purpose. In terms ofwhere this understanding developed, engineering faculty wrote of learning writing andcommunication through experience, “learning as

While this may be a safeassumption in the US or the UK, it is not always true in developing countries.

. 11- IntroductionMagnetohydrodynamics (MHD; also magneto-fluid dynamics or hydromagnetic) is the study of the magneticproperties and behavior of electrically conducting fluids. Examples of such magnetofluids include plasmas, liquidmetals, salt water, and electrolytes. The word "magnetohydrodynamics" is derived frommagneto- meaning magnetic field, hydro- meaning water, and dynamics meaning movement. The field of MHDwas initiated by Hannes Alfvén,[1] for which he received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1970.The fundamental concept behind MHD is that magnetic fields can induce currents in a moving conductive fluid[2],which in turn polarizes the fluid and reciprocally changes the magnetic field itself. The set of equations thatdescribe MHD are a
