Students also performed viscosity measurements ontwo brands of ketchup using a Brookfield viscometer and developed a preliminary flowsheet for a ketchup manufacturing process. The student response was positive. Examresults and class discussions indicated students assimilated the material well. As processdesign software becomes more available and easier to use, it will become a more integralpart of engineering education providing opportunities to introduce students to engineeringpractice.Introduction:The Rowan University College of Engineering was established as a result

Robots canperform tasks normally ascribed to humans or animals, to imitate them and interact with them, orto act autonomously in various physical environments. Robotics is an interdisciplinary area thatdraws from such fields as engineering, physiology, and behavioral science. Robotic systems canbe related to many physical processes and human practices in their interactions with theenvironment.

research paper has focused on the increased popularity of wikis as teaching tools inrecent years, and showing why the wiki is a better educational tool than a blog6. Many educatorsuse wikis because of their convenience and ease of use. Educators also need to teach what wikisand other social software mean to business, not just as a phenomenon, but also as a skill4. Byincorporating wikis into the classroom, educators can better prepare students to make innovativeuses of collaborative software tools6.Although these articles show the possible uses and benefits of wikis in higher education, thereare also drawbacks. Many studies point to a link between the success of wikis in education andincentives or even pressure provided by the instructor2. Ebner et

10 Megawatts to a Better Education Daniel Schmalzel, Rowan University, New JerseyAbstractRowan University Engineering students have been given a unique opportunity to work towardsthe creation of a 10 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic (PV) system as one component of theuniversity’s commitment to carbon neutrality. Students are learning a broad range of skills thatapply to all levels of PV system design. For example, they are learning to assess site feasibilitythrough the use of specialized equipment and software including shading assessment andexpected power production. As they evaluate the quality of each site, the student team mustunderstand the flow of energy through every stage of the system

and 3D software. Also the integration of additive manufacturing into the curriculum has become a requirement of our programs ● The world is passing us by. I've been in manufacturing all of my life. From a production worker, skilled trade, through professor and we have made little progress in staying competitive. Every time economy is good we go back to our old ways of not cooperating and reducing education about manufacturing. We have abandoned the traditional methods of engineering education while China, India, and Europe continue to stress solid math and science. They also have a system for skilled trades with apprenticeships. We have destroyed these in the US for "new" approaches. I offer this

Is the disconnect due tothe evaluation or the activity?BudgetYou are asking for a certain amount, justify this amount by indicating: staff salaries andbenefits; travel expenses; equipment and material needs (hardware/software);administrative costs: postage, telephone, photocopying costs, any consultant costs.
