University of Pittsburghengineering faculty members are pursuing research relating to “regenerative medicine.”The funding crisis required a change in the mind-set of some engineers in academia. Simply put,they felt that they had to focus more of their reading in the molecular and life sciences.Addressing Some of the Infrastructure Problems of UgandaThe short-term solution for many health problems of rural Uganda has three components: Thefirst (an engineering solution) is to provide a supply of safe water. The second (an educationalsolution) is to help the people learn the techniques necessary to 1) obtain and maintain the sourceof the safe water and 2) assure the safety of the water supply.

The Challenger disaster in particular is often discussed due to theinfamous teleconference that took place the night before the launch in which some engineerstried to postpone the launch. However, the space shuttle program itself is worthy of study as itrelates to the engineering design process, and the details of the Challenger and Columbiadisasters are worthy of discussion as they relate to a variety of sub-disciplines, including materialscience

Educators must design instruction that guidesstudents through the problem while not revealing the solution, so they may learn this problemsolving process.

The fact that ASD systems are still more expensive than the motors they drivemakes this request of such junior people all the more significant. Also of note is the lack of expertise in the utility industry. Many other utilities are playing a catch-up game to understand the ASD and its effects on the grid. Programs to teach field engineers are beingdeveloped in several utilities and short courses on ASDs are in demand in the field.[5]Something New and Wonderful There is a mistaken perception among students that there is nothing new in this field.

However, it is critical for engineering/industrial technology to transition fromtheoretical work in the classroom to experiential learning. The main objective of senior projectsor design courses in engineering technology curricula is to bridge the gap between academictheory and real world practice. The proposed senior projects should include elements of bothcredible analysis and experiential proofing such as design and implementation as discussed inABET criteria [1].

packaging sizes have been reduced to better suit thedemands for smaller components. SMT was developed by IBM and others in the 1960s and 1970s to reduce the size ofelectronic component packages and thereby reduce the size of devices designed with thosepackages1,2. These technologies have other advantages for both design engineers andmanufacturing engineers, including reduced package-related parasitics, with resultingimprovements in high-speed performance, and allowing high-speed assembly automation. In2002 worldwide production of integrated circuits (ICs) indicated that 86% of all ICs wereproduced in SMT packages.

Students had the choice to attend classes face-to-face, synchronouslyonline, or asynchronously online. Professors were to design their courses to offer similar learningexperiences for each modality.During this semester, the UMHB engineering program offered two sections Engineering Mechanics:Statics, both under the HyFlex model.
