In this sense, culture is just not a collection of particular manifestations (song, dance, dress, …), but a way of being, relating, behaving, believing and acting through which people live out in their lives and that is in a constant process of change”. 2UNESCO’s formulation of three realms involved in understanding sustainability issues is echoedin the catchwords of the USEPA P3 Program: People (social realm), Prosperity (economic realm)and Planet (environmental/science realm).3This paper uses the experience of the five students in this

Career Fair. As part of this focus, WiME organizes a help session to finetune resumes and walkup skills before the Career Fair. The WiME board in conjunction with thedepartment invites two senior members (one HR executive, and one technical executive) of anengineering consulting company (KJWW, Des Moines, IA) to clarify expectations and provideinterview tips. This event usually consists of a short presentation followed by a help session onresumes, walk-ups, and all questions related to the career fair. This event turned out to be quitepopular, garnering 20-35 women student attendees each time.c) Lab/company tours: WiME usually organizes a tour of various research labs in the fallsemester and a site visit to a nearby company/factory in the spring

Although designed and built to Class 10,000 cleanroom standards5, we have found thatit is actually closer to a Class 100 to Class 1000 facility. With strong support from the Virginiasemiconductor industry, we operate the facility as if it were a Class 1000 facility in order toprepare students for the mindset necessary to successfully work in both our advanced researchfacility and in local industries where the students co-op and seek employment.The purpose of this paper is to describe the design, development, and

Most teammembers were prohibited from face-to-face interaction during the ten-day period. Tocommunicate and share data, they were required to use either the set of collaborative toolsinstalled on each member’s personal computer or a telephone. Only two team members wereallowed face-to-face interaction and to gain access to the actual design site. No other teammembers had first hand access to the design site; all information about the site had to come viathe two team members’ investigations and posting of the resulting information to the project’sweb site.

method of producing hydrogenthat is environmentally friendly. The major disadvantages of the SI cycle are the hightemperature required for the decomposition of hydrogen iodide and the corrosiveness of thereactants. However, high temperature nuclear reactor designs will easily allow a temperature ofgreater than 800oC. Though SI cycle has been well studied the process has not yet beendemonstrated by a commercial, and there seems to remain spaces for further improvement toreduce the complex process scheme. In this regard, the predictive simulations are very useful. The purpose of this paper was to examine SI cycle coupled to high temperature gascooled nuclear reactor. A heat-transfer model was developed to analyze the SI process and

experiences like the recent crises inCalifornia and the Northeast. Traditionally, the evaluation of electric power generation facility performance has focused onthe ability of plants to produce at design capacity for high percentages of the time. Successfuloperation of nuclear facilities is determined by examining capacity or load factors. Load factoris the percentage of design generating capacity that a power plant actually produces over thecourse of a year’s operation. This paper makes the case that these operating performanceindicators warrant renewed consideration of the nuclear option. Usage of electricity in the US now approaches total generating capacity.

The problem solving focus of the course is essentially transparent to thestudents –they see it principally as an analysis tools course. Learning to carefully andintelligently apply CAE tools is a benefit (questioning, validating, and interpreting theresults is a heavy focus of the methods instruction), but the greater benefit seems to
