creating the tools of a modern society. Theinstruments of our material prosperity—computers, airplanes, dental procedures, powerplants, and the like—function reasonably well despite our occasional grumblings, andonly the most ardent lunatic would really wish to have, say, his dentistry done with themethods of the 19th Century.But the public interest also brings with it performance requirements that reach beyond thefunctional and into the domain of ethics. A simple thought-experiment can illuminatethis. Imagine a society in which human life holds no value. Even in such a world, carswould have brakes. Drivers that cared neither for their own lives nor for the lives ofothers would still find it inconvenient to stop by running into trees. However, a

Conversely, an undersized storage tank is described as not being able toeffect solar cooling in the late afternoon. With the results of these computer models andexperiments in mind, storage tank volume can be considered an important design considerationregarding the reduction of grid peak electricity demand and solar heating/cooling systemefficiency.Absorption chillers are a mature technology with a range of medium to large scale capacities1 .Absorption involves mechanical retention, as in the way that a sponge retains water7 .

Thus, the practice of structural engineering in the U.S. is described as a “shrinking space.”  The remaining non-routine structural engineering work is becoming increasingly complex, as a result of advances in building codes and standards, design aids and tools, project delivery methods, and construction materials.  To an increasing degree, the graduates of today’s typical baccalaureate civil engineering programs are inadequately prepared for professional practice

the final sample product – the big white foam ball (right).To prepare the right quantity of two parts of resin, students need to figure out the quantity ofeach part according to given foam ratio. This necessitates students applying equations tocalculate the volume of different geometries and connecting material density to mass. For agiven mold, students must measure the size before volume calculation. For a 3D-printing design,the volume can be calculated during the design process and confirmed by the computer aideddesign software. By measuring the mass of the final product and knowing its volume, studentscan experimentally determine the material density and compare their results to publishedproperty data. Unit

To evaluate these potential discrepancies among raters, we computed themeans and standard deviations between rater types within individual competencies. This data ispresented in Tables 6 to 14.

One solution is for studentsto obtain an associate of science (AS) degree in an engineering related discipline from acommunity college (CC), and to then transition to an undergraduate institution for abachelor of engineering (BE) degree. This approach allows students to fill in anyacademic gaps in learning during their secondary education, confirm their interest inengineering, while maintaining any requisite work or family obligations. Although thiscan be a successful model to an engineering bachelor degree, a lack of communicationand coordination between the community college and senior college can result in classesnot being transferred, missed registration periods, and semester gaps which can result in alack of retention.
