AbstractEngineering students are being asked to work on real-world projects and need to access accurate costinformation for their design projects. In the case of chemical engineering and related disciplines,capstone courses often require designing industrial processes or a chemical plant involving bulkchemical prices for both feedstocks and products. A lot of chemical pricing information wasavailable in trade magazines; however, bulk chemical prices are increasingly difficult to locate asproducers of that information have reduced the availability and further monetized the informationover the last 15 years. The resulting information sources containing chemical prices often cannot beacquired by academic libraries due to cost or licensing terms. In cases where

Try to locate “direct OEM” booths only, not their local distributor’s booths.Once this is done, the solicitor must approach the vendor’s booth in a programmed and carefulmanner. Remember, you are a professional consultant, and must act as so. You must act as abuyer who has full control of the purse strings of his/her company while your demeanor exhibitsa slight arrogance while still being somewhat humble.

Accordingly, we repeated a similar process of identifying ambiguous fullnames (this time, for those full names within the interaction data), finding variances to theseambiguous full names, and consolidating the variances to their respective ambiguous full name.Resolving Partial Names After resolving full name minor variances, we realized many of the participants knewtheir peers strictly by first names, gamer-tags, or nicknames (e.g., John Deer known as J-Dawg).Some participants also listed their peers by their first and middle initials only (e.g., John ChaseDeer listed as J.C.).

discusses the work-in-progress to use engineering project activities in electricalcircuits and electronics so as to train PK-12 STEM educators in the step-by-step process ofassembly and testing of electronic circuits. It is well known that electronic circuit design requiresfundamental and advanced knowledge of STEM concepts. The concept-to-product cycle1-6 formsan integral part of electronic circuit design, assembly, test, and validation. Hands-on laboratoryand project-based experiences are deemed to be among the most effective means to introduceand reinforce concepts in electronics.

Whileboth OMAP-L138 boards use the identical audio codec chip, the two manufacturers chose to in-tegrate that codec into the overall board design in different ways. In particular, the power supplydecoupling of the codec chip is much better on the LCDK, and this is important to some applica-tions.

We settled on seven topical areas which we feltaddressed both the fleet input and the panel’s recommendations.

As the decay of a skill depends greatly on thedegree to which the skill was learned, the higher the acquisition environment (e.g., immersivetraining), the longer the retention [2]. This approach can increase the skilled workforce whiledecreasing training costs and safety concerns. As the technologies in industry are rapidlychanging, providing suitable training programs are of utmost importance. Computer-basedlearning and other traditional training programs are not adequate in training for various situationsthat decision makers must deal with [3].
