experiment from the financial and time viewpoints. These two course involved twovery different audiences (technical program students at a community college, engineeringstudents at a research university), but in both cases the student’s responses were similar. Theydid not realize how much of the total cost was personnel, they consistently underestimated howmuch time various procedures take. Also, when planning an experiment where the costperspective was considered, it helped them see the resource side of experimental work, not justthe academic side, and it helped them manage their time better. It also helped them understandhow one makes money in engineering.IntroductionLaboratory courses generally deal with laboratory procedures, data analysis and

The military is the only major customer whowants such a reformer for electric power generation, but they lack the market to encourage thenecessary research investment. Direct fuel cells, those that perform the reformer and fuel cellfunctions simultaneously, are too short-lived to be competitive.Other common fuel cell problems may be grouped into the following categories: watermanagement, responsiveness, ruggedness, materials, sensors and control technology, and cost.Water management has been solved, for the most part, but can still be a problem when

The emphasis of his master’s dissertation was on a finite element analysis of a solder joint under thermal loading. Dr. Saad received his PhD from Washington State University in Pullman, WA. His research focused on the energy dissipation function of an abrasive water jet cutting through steel. In addition to this, Dr. Saad has taught a vast number of engineering classes at many institutions and is currently teaching, among other classes, Statics, Strength of Materials, Dynamics and Senior Capstone at Eastern Washington University.

great student demand for freshman advising seminars and the seminar has beenextraordinarily successful in terms of teaching evaluations, research students, and even a startupcompany. In its present form, freshman advising seminars are essentially a labor of love. Astrong and sustained institutional commitment is necessary to expand the seminars to reach theirfull potential. This is consistent with the author’s observations at MIT, in which freshmenadvising seminars bloomed in the early 1990’s under the strong support of Travis Merritt, Deanof Undergraduate Education, then faded after his retirement.AcknowledgmentsThe author thanks Sheldon Wettack, Lisa Sullivan, and Clive Dym at Harvey Mudd College fortheir moral and financial support of the

outreach programs have a tradition of excellence and scientific achievements thatbegan in 1967. From the outset, the primary goal of the graduate programs were to educate andprepare qualified engineering students for the highly competitive job market. The program wasprimarily designed to help students gain knowledge about the functional areas of technologicalenterprises. The graduate programs were evolved to train candidates for decision makingpositions in engineering, production, marketing, design, and research and development. The EMGT outreach programs have reached cities and locations far beyond the Rollademographic limits. Currently, these outreach graduate programs are successfully educatingyoung scholars in a variety of disciplines
