Other than a recently built Passive House in New Mexico, there are no other examples of this type of house in a demanding cooling climate. [32] Although researchers are looking into whether the concept will work in warmer climates, where a heat exchanger could be used in reverse, to keep cool air in and warm air out. 4. The sophisticated windows and heat-exchange ventilation systems needed to make passive houses work properly are not readily available in the United States. So the construction of passive houses in the United States, at least initially, is likely to entail a higher price differential. [33] Note: the windows used in

Responses included comments such as “good study skills”, “everything(in graduate school) is rehash”, “feel ahead of the rest of the students”, “NMT harder -- learnedmore”, and “prepared for workload/challenges”. The single response which indicated NMT didnot prepare the student well enough for graduate school gave no supporting comments.Overall, the alumni were pleased with their experience at New Mexico Tech.

Also, the educational value added by the introductory course is typically much larger for thenovice when compared with students who have mastered the fundamental graphics techniques.Historical grade distributions in these courses are either typically skewed toward the upper end ofthe grading scale or show a bimodal shape. We assume that placing students into a graphicscourse consistent with their background and preparation will enhance both student and teacherperformance. The students will be more motivated if they feel that they are learning somethingnew. Enabling the instructors to focus on the novice student population

Another program required students take a proctored practice FEcivil exam and that program only required reinforced concrete design. It is possible that theremaining programs offer FE civil exam review/practice through other courses like seniorcapstone and/or ASCE club events. Previous research has noted that a FE review courseimproved student performance on FE civil practice questions related to reinforced concretedesign [6], but overall there is limited research on the effectiveness of these courses.
