&T has expanded its global presence. International projects contributed 9% of its overall order book for the 2010-11 periods. Considered to be the "bellwether of India's engineering sector", L&T was recognized as the Company of the Year in 2010. L&T has featured four times in Forbes Fab 50 list of the best public companies in the Asia-Pacific region. iii. Joining the L&T family in 1944, their Engineering Construction and Contracts Division (ECC) is, in fact, the largest construction group in India. They are responsible for the research, design, engineering, and construction of buildings, pipelines, electrical systems, railways, transmission lines, and more. 4 b. What is a
online quiz after each laboratory to assess their conceptual understanding ofthe topic covered in lab that week. The instructor will use the Weekly Reports to tailor thefollowing lecture(s) to address any remaining conceptual difficulties, and to guide revisions ofthe laboratories. Responses to exam questions will then be used to assess students’ understandingonce more.2. Globally: (a) A comprehensive qualitative final exam with multiple choice and short-answer questionswill be given focused on testing students on the learning goals established for the course:knowledge of the concepts of energy levels and probability densities, and how they apply tophysical devices. We will model exam questions after the ones shown in reference 6. (b) Pre
of the potential impact of a good and bad highway design ondrivers’ road experience and therefore motivate them to engage in the highway design project.Each of the students enrolled in this course had the opportunity to participate in a virtual drivingthat simulated several vertical and horizontal curves. Of these, two crests simulated a bad verticaldesign (Figure 2 a, b) while a third one simulated a decent vertical design. The worst verticaldesign had the steepest grades and the shortest length, while the decent design had a smootherdeparting grade and a longer curve length of the three.After students completed the first drive using the driving simulator, they completed an entrysurvey related to both their experience and their perception

Event b approximates theresumption of the few remaining orientation sessions. Event c identifies a small downtick on day16 (Tuesday, September 13th). No office hours were held on Mondays this particular semester, sothis date was the first realistic chance for motivated students to take the first section test. Eventsd and e (Friday, October 28th and Friday November 4th respectively) represent the beginning ofan uptick and an apparent correction about a week later. One possible contributing event is thepopularity of Halloween in our city followed by a scramble to make up for the delay. Proctorsalso graded

paper is reporting a case of work-in-progress. The Technology Department of NorthernIllinois University (NIU) has developed a new program in Energy and Environmental SystemsTechnology (EEST). The program has started to offer from fall 2011. The program is anoutcome of collaboration between NIU and a number of 2-year colleges around the region. Themajor focus is in two areas- a) Courses from 2-year colleges are articulated within the EESTprogram and b) Via NIU, 2-year colleges will have an online access to a large set of renewableenergy data for their course offerings.The web portal is a software environment that has been designed and developed to provide datatransfer from Freedom Field (FdF) to NIU; as well as a provision for data visualization

Number of examples found Figure 3: Number of unique attachment principles foundAttachment MethodsThe full list of attachment principles can be found in Appendix A. It should be noted that theattachment principles in the mechanical domain are more generalized compared to the materialand field domains. For example, the axial expansive principle includes products such as a showerrod and a car jack. Both products functionally expand in an axial direction to form theattachment even though they serve two very different purposes. Listed in Appendix B are thedefinitions and examples of the mechanical attachment principles which were used in the designexperiment. Also listed are the “enabling parent
Example a) User Setting Problem Parameters b) Solution ResultsThe key programming detail with the client program is its communication with the server cluster.Flex can make simple HTTP function calls to the website to run server scripts (PHP, Perl,ASP.NET, etc.), but this has two major limitations; text is transmitted as strings and it issynchronous. A better option is to use a media server on the cluster such as Red5, WebOrb,LiveCycle, Wowza, etc. These tools allow Flex to communicate with the server throughdedicated channels using sockets. This means communications are asynchronous (and in binary)which allows the server to communicate with the client at any time, and the client can makemultiple function calls. This project uses WebOrb [6] since

In addition, IIT has recently launched a program with B-Cycle to introduce bike sharing to the IIT Main Campus. The program allows B-Cycle members to use shared bicycles for an unlimited number of two-hour rides. Recycling and Reusing - IIT has placed recycling infrastructure in every campus building . We significantly enhanced our recycling program by launching of the addition of composting, increased engagement with the IIT community, improved signage on multi-stream collection bins and initiation of a full waste audit,.

testing will be conducted to assess a) change in retention between courses and b)change in student problem-solving and design skills.BackgroundMany sources have made the case for reforming engineering education to reflect modern trends.Most notably, a recent National Academy of Engineering (NAE) report found that2 Engineering education must avoid the cliché of teaching more and more about less and less, until it teaches everything about nothing. Addressing this problem may involve reconsideration of the basic structure of engineering departments and the infrastructure for evaluating the performance of professors as much as it does selecting the coursework students should be taught.The report also stressed the importance of teaching

and is comprised of asignal conditioner, a DC drive, and a DC motor. The DeltaV PLC generates a 4-20 mA outputproportional to the desired speed of the motors. The 4-20 mA is then converted by the signalconditioners into a 0-5 VDC signal which is fed into the DC drives. The DC drives use this speedreference signal to apply a proportional 0-24 VDC (from the power system) to the motorsthemselves. Figure 1 Block Diagram for SLIM Drive System b.
