Indeed, nonpoint source pollution is gettingworse, not better, and the Environmental Protection Agency rates it as the leading cause of waterquality problems.

The drop-off in the study of science among women is extremely steepfrom high school forward.Moreover, demographic statistics point to an alarming shortfall of engineers and architects in the21st century. The number of technically educated persons must increase to meet futureindustrial, governmental, and academic needs. Underrepresented populations must be exposedto career possibilities in the technical fields of engineering, architecture, and technology.Women make up only ten percent of the engineering work force, and the number is only slowlyrising9.

need to be at certain speeds to produce power as efficiently aspossible. After some research, it was found that most small windmills do not utilize a gear boxand have the axis of rotation mounted directly to the generator. This is because the gearboxintroduces losses in the system by decreasing efficiency through friction losses and increasingthe torque needed to start and keep the windmill running. Regardless, for the sake of theexperiment, the gearbox was used in hopes that a balance could be found to maximize efficiency.For the experiment, 3 different gear ratios were used: 1:1, 5:1, 15:1.
