mean that the program should document the satisfaction of each criterion for each graduate. However, a review of the documentation should make a reasonable person to conclude that the Criterion is being satisfied. Classifying course materials by outcome within a course is a possible approach, but there are equally acceptable other approaches. It is important that the results of the assessment process are applied to the further development and improvement of the program. The assessment loop at various levels (course-, curriculum-, and program-level) should be closed and this process should be documented. The outcomes assessment should be based on direct measurements of student learning. The evaluators look for assessment analysis results

best examples of academic integration (and an example of theinstitutionalization of the LSAMP Indiana Program). For social integration, peer mentoring andtutoring are among the largest components of the LSAMP Indiana program. Consequently,students learn more about their peers, build short- and long-term relationships, and learn aboutgraduate school. Finally, the mechanisms used to facilitate cross-campus collaborations among LSAMPScholars and administrators are a strong element of the program. During the Annual LSAMPIndiana Research Conference, students present their research, hear about the work of their peers,and interact with other STEM students and faculty from all over the state.

Our potential audience wants to know a little aboutthe truth, a little about the science, and wants to be able to make some correct decisions aboutthe use of nuclear materials in everyday life, especially regarding the issues surroundingnuclear power. This information resulted in a course design that surveys the breadth of the fieldof nuclear science and engineering (technology), rather than a course that delves deeply intoany particular area, such as reactor engineering.Course ContentThe course is designed around a progression of information to facilitate a series of toursdesigned to demonstrate the use of nuclear science in our everyday lives and to excite thestudents into learning more about the subject.The first day of class starts

These methods are generally similarto each other in that they add and bond materials in layerwise-fashion to form objects. This isthe opposite of what classical methods such as milling or turning do: objects are formed in theselatter processes by mechanical removal of material. Rapid prototyping is also known by thenames of freeform fabrication (FFF), layered manufacturing, automated fabrication and othervariants”. Rapid prototyping machines operate on one of three principle methods of layer-by-layersynthesis: stereolithography, selective laser sintering, and ink jet printing

todesign a robot, with a human like navigational “intelligence,” which maneuvers within a maze to reach adesignated target position. To do so, the robot must contain both a high-level reasoning module and a low-level motion control module. In addition, both modules must work together cooperatively to execute thedesired task. Construction of the two modules requires software development as well as a complete systemdesign using mechanical parts, circuits, and a microprocessor. For a successful end product, each team,consisting of two students, must give careful consideration to the various design trade-offs. As a result of theproject, each student will gain engineering confidence and develop critical and analytical thinking skills.I. INTRODUCTION

As aresult, engineering technology programs at the two- and four-year level have added controlcourses and laboratories to prepare the graduates for the systems awaiting them in industry.Building a controls laboratory that uses standard industrial control elements is costly anddemands allocation of a large laboratory area. Traditionally, process control laboratories inschools used large system trainers to teach the control of material level, flow, temperature, andpressure. While the performance of these systems is satisfactory, problems occur when theselarge systems are used in introductory control theory laboratories. The problems include:• The high trainer cost prohibits the purchase of multiple student stations.• The small

This effect will create reductions in peakheating and cooling loads and reductions in measured energy. This works well in commercialapplications by delaying the peak summer load, generally around 3:00 pm, to later in the eveningwhen offices begin to close. Figure 1: Thermal Mass of Standard Wall Vs.
