HVAC desiccant systems; among them are: 1. ASHRAE 62-l 989 which prescribes significantly increased ventilation requirements for buildings, 2. the prevalence of “sick building” syndrome, 3. demand for more efficient dehumidification of air, 4. CFC/HCFC/HFC issues, 5. flexibility in separating latent and sensible loads.Most commonly-used textbooks in university-level air conditioning courses contain very littleinformation on desiccants or desiccant systems (e.g. McQuiston and Parker, 1994, Clifford,1984). Hence, there exists a need to provide to engineering educators a user-friendly,introductory-level module that can be easily inserted into an HVAC course

The scope of the course can be broadened further by having the studentsteach themselves. (Which is useful in its own right.) By requiring a research project into anapplication of fuzzy sets the students find any number of interesting uses for the theory they've Page 2.422.2just been

. oscillationConclusionsConic sections are common in basic courses of mechanics. Math instructors who wish to showhow conic sections are used in physics and engineering can find many examples in textbooks ofengineering mechanics and even more in the research literature. In this paper, we have shownmany examples of such applications. Given the wide availability of plotting software nowadays,plotting the functions for the conic sections used in this paper is a relatively easy task once onechooses appropriate numerical values for the parameters identified in the equations. It is evenbetter to plot the same function many times by varying the parameters involved in order tovisualize their effects on the geometric properties of the curve

In many cases, whether it is the design of a new car,design of a new medical device, or design of a new commercial electronic gadget, we have seenthat industrial designers are now playing key roles and are involved in the entire productdevelopment process from initial product planning to post implementation.[1-4]In light of these developments and after an extensive research, one year ago, the Departmentdecided to create a new program called Industrial Design Technology (IND) to replace theexisting CADD program.

This paper provides an overview of thelaboratory, describes the educational benefits students gained throughout design andconstruction of the facility, and recounts the challenges and lessons the students learnedthroughout this process.
