, where real time data drives both simulation and validation ofresults. Examples include stress-strain measurements and plant water use measurements. A webexample used is real time greenhouse monitoring with emphasis on thermodynamics. Otherexamples include a processing model linked with a proportional-integral -differential or a fuzzylogic controller. Psychrometrics for a sensible, latent heat, and radiation analyses of heat exchangefrom moist surfaces are best computed with Mathscript models. 3 "Proceedings of the 2009 Midwest Section Conference of the American Society of Engineering Education" Table 1.

Construction-Related Activities for Students in 1st - 8th Grade Dennis Audo, Seth O’Brien Pittsburg State University, Pittsburg State UniversityAbstractThree distinct programs Pittsburg State University uses to promote the understanding of theconstruction industry to children in grades 1st through 8th are Block Kids, If I Had a Hammer andConstruct Your Future. These programs are ongoing activities aimed toward promoting theconstruction industry aided by the Construction Management/ Construction EngineeringTechnology faculty and students at Pittsburg State University.Block KidsBlock Kids is an event that is sponsored by the National Association of Women in Construction(NAWIC

) were within 1-11% oftheoretical.IntroductionOne of the main objectives of engineering education is to effectively transfer subject informationto the engineering students.  A number of methods have been developed for enhancing studentlearning including multimedia developments,1,2 active, problem-based learning,3 collaborativelearning,4,5 and participation in cooperative education.6 Several papers have specificallyaddressed methods for improving or supplementing the teaching of heat transfer including theuse of spreadsheets to solve two-dimensional heat transfer problems,7 the use of a transportapproach in teaching turbulent thermal convection,8 the use of computers to evaluate viewfactors in thermal radiation,9 implementation of a computational
