The original example problem, with highlighted regions of the values that willbecome variable parameters, is shown in Figure 2. A mass of 1500 pounds of liquid having a specific gravity of 1.2 and molecular weight of 150 is pumped into an empty weigh tank over the course of 25 seconds. The tank is cylindrical with a diameter of 3 ft. Determine the: a) average mass flow rate (lb/s) b) average volumetric flow rate (gal/min) c) average molar flow rate (lbmole/s) d

To fix this deficiency among the electrical and computer Engineering and computerscience and networking majors, a consortium of faculty designed, executed, and evaluated a seriesof extra-curricular graduate school seminars to (a) gauge student interest in graduate school, (b)prepare students for the graduate school application process, and (c) inform students of theiroptions for graduate degrees and programs.This work-in-progress shares data and lessons-learned from the first round of seminars: wedescribe their organization and proceedings, as well as the results of

These studentswere attending five different universities and pursuing six different majors (primarily mechanicaland civil engineering). Student responses, while unique to their personal situation, fell into fourcategories regarding their visions for a future ideal engineering career: (A) helping people andsociety was the most important component to their future engineering career; (B) helping peopleand improving society was
