Introduction and Educational Objectives In power distribution systems, loads may increase due to the installation of new customersand to the electricity demand shifts resulting from seasonal weather changes. Load increases notonly cause higher power system losses but also may lead to overloads in electrical equipment,such as transformers and distribution lines, which will reduce the

techniques are more appealing to some engineers than others, as well ashighlighting the importance of recognizing and appreciating the value of cognitive diversitywithin design teams. The implications of all these findings will be discussed in the context ofengineering design education, with recommendations for application and future research.2. Psychological Inertia, Cognitive Diversity, and the Engineering Design StudentWhen one is faced with an engineering design challenge, the ability of the designer togenerate potential solution concepts during the early stages of the design process is stronglyimpacted by that individual’s “psychological inertia”8. Psychological inertia, from thecognitive perspective, is a direct function of all the biases the

Commonly known as “3D printing”, AM provides acost-effective and time-efficient way to produce low-volume, customized products withcomplicated geometries and advanced material properties and functionality5. The generic AMprocess include the following steps: Conceptualization and CAD, conversion to STL, transfer toAM machine and STL file manipulation, machine setup, build, removal, post-processing, andapplication1-2.There is consensus among both the research and industrial communities, and even the generalpublic, that AM processes capable of processing metallic materials are a set of

For accurate measurement of structural dimensions, such as thickness in areas whereconventional methods may be difficult to implement or areas where access is available only onone side. Ultrasonic methods can also be used to detect a wide variety of internal flaws instructural systems.

What resource format meets the information need?This question assumes that an information need has been identified. Perhaps a faculty member orstudent has identified a new area of research that requires bibliographic information not currentlyprovided for in the collection. Perhaps an access change has occurred, as when INSPECmodified its pricing structure via FirstSearch, causing a loss of low cost availability to thedatabase. Or perhaps budget considerations have necessitated a review of the collection.After the information need has been

A route is activated for each airborne UAV. UAV use of computerized speed control andGPS for lateral control is so precise, that users may generate an accurate moving target displayof all UAVs on a monitor based solely on the flight plan.
