Many companies employ this technology on their websites,requesting that the prospective hire fill out fields of information rather than just submitting a textresume. By employing similar methodology the SEC requires students to spend a little bit longerfilling out the résumé drop form; these résumés can then be easily found by companies seeking aspecific set of characteristics in a candidate.SEC strives to enhance student development on a personal and professional level through variousactivities and projects. An important objective is to address facets of engineering education thatare often neglected. Increasingly in today's society, technical competence is not sufficient forcareer success

Despiteefforts to improve attendance, many students rely on recorded lectures and notes, often avoidingthe lengthy 50 to 75-minute videos. As a result, students frequently seek help during office hoursfor concepts already covered in these lectures, increasing the pressure on instructors andnegatively impacting student performance.Research shows

These programs are ideal for a wide range ofstudents for a variety of reasons. Some are non-traditional students who are returning to theclassroom from the work force while still employed full-time; some are unable to afford tuitionat larger universities; some are unable to afford room and board at larger universities; some aredual-enrolled while in high school and concurrently attaining an Associate degree; and somedesire a

This often invites adiscussion of Torricelli’s Law because some students are familiar with it from previoustextbooks.4 Torricelli’s law states that water issues from a hole in the bottom of a tankwith a velocity of v(t ) = C 2 ⋅ g ⋅ h(t ) [1]where h(t) is the water height above the hole at time t, g is the gravitational acceleration,and C is the Borda
