erroroccurs in critical programs, it can be tragic and extremely expensive. Examples of measurementerrors in the news are the Hubble Telescope which had incorrect dimensions used in its lensconstruction. This was not discovered until Hubble was released into space. Later, the lens wascorrected to make Hubble useful for its intended purpose. Figure 3 shows tragic results ofcalibration error.

The initial survey mainly targeted to understand students’ socialnetwork account ownership statistics as well as to learn why they have social networkmemberships and accounts. The question regarding the membership usage is providedas: “I am a part of a social network, because: a. Everybody else is b. It is a way of representing myself c. It is my online identity d.

mission activities span a wide spectrum. They can be grouped into three distinct sets ofactivities: (a) Technology Transfer & Innovation activities; (b) Continuing Education activities,and (c) Social Engagement activities [35]. The activities within the grouping of TechnologyTransfer & Innovation are those most directly associated with economic development andinclude such elements as: intellectual property licensing, technology parks, support for spin-outcompanies, support for external consultancy, technology problem solving, etc. Generally, thirdmission technology transfer and innovation activities are driven by economic objectives.Economic value and value for money are becoming more and more important for universities.Again, while
