faculty, providing seed money for research, and buying equipment. Manyengineering programs seek national funding through a government organization such as theNational Science Foundation or the Department of Education. To show that the money and timewill be well spent on any particular project, an assessment plan is needed. During the projectand at the end of a project, a report is usually required to show that the program was successful,that a change was made, or a result was obtained. User-friendly guidebooks have beendeveloped that describe both formative and summative assessment. 1 Page 7.1018.1 Proceedings of the 2002 American

In addition, the interdependence betweenthermodynamic parameters is often non linear. Therefore, academics and engineers inindustry who study complex systems, like gas turbine engines, internal combustionengines and rocket engines, construct computational models. They use these models toevaluate the system’s performance over a range of operating conditions. This isespecially important in evaluating various

They should knowabout the company that they would visit. What size of company, how many employees, whatkinds of workers, etc. This increases the students’ interest of the actual location. Most field triplocations are examples of where the student might someday work. They can get a sense of wheretheir degree can take them and why the basic course information is important.
