Such an advanced technological curriculum has offered a unique careerpathway to students interested in advanced engineering technology through the full-timeprogram at Drexel, dual degree programs with community colleges, and 2+2+2 programsincorporating also high schools in the Greater Philadelphia Region. Furthermore, theproject will reinforce the ongoing initiatives to revitalize the regional manufacturingsector by providing highly skilled graduates to meet the demands of new advancedtechnologies.Acknowledgement The authors would like to thank the National Science Foundation (Grant No.NSF-DUE-CCLI- 0410719) for its financial support of the

The assumptions which are employed and those which are allowed tobe violated will be detailed as well as the resulting governing equations. Current performance ofthe “virtual refrigerator” will be discussed as well as the challenges in creating such a program.I.
