Analog designfollows a process for which transistor sizing is necessary to achieve performance goals that aredefined by a series of simulation tests. Both the design and the pedagogical processes make useof one or more algorithms in which a set of subcircuits are separately tested and then

An emphasis of this study was how FCA’s can be utilized as a pedagogical tool to representarchitectural, civil, electrical, mechanical, structural, and technological engineering disciplines.Recommendations for facility engineering practice and education is presented for application toengineering disciplines within academia. Globally, this is the first research attempt to linkengineering education and management to the practice of facility engineering. This research canbe used by facility managers, engineering service providers and engineering educators alike tofoster transparency with facility engineering practice, FCA

Criterion 3 of the 2007/2008criteria for accrediting engineering technology programs states that programs must demonstratethat student assessments are being used as part of a broad, documented continuous improvementprocess. In addition, multiple assessment methods are to be used to “triangulate” data to ensurethat program outcomes and objectives are being met. The Criteria goes on to suggest possibleassessment methods, including “student portfolios, student performance in project work andactivity-based learning; results of

There is no doubt that hydraulic fluid power is a maturetechnology, and the new applications present numerous challenges, but it is evident that there aresignificant benefits.

Some studies revealthat engineering students, like K-12 students, often fail to see the importance of mathematics intheir training or eventual employment24,25 and may even dislike or fear mathematics26. Incontrast, perhaps because of their more extensive coursework, the senior-year engineeringstudents surveyed by Cardella (2006)27 reported that the content and problem-solving skills theylearned in their college mathematics courses were useful in their engineering classes, and theybelieved that mathematical ability and the ability to apply mathematics to real-world
