At that time,what remained were the final steps in the process that are only taken once an organization has agrant proposal that is approved for funding. This did not occur until February of 2021. Prior toreceiving full approval, all NSF proposals were submitted through partner organizations, as theywere before IEC was founded.

Students wereasked to consider improvements in thermal efficiency through the optimization of operatingconditions and through the use of intercooling and compressor staging processes. An Excelspreadsheet program for the sizing of a plate-frame heat exchanger was used for the secondproject. The students considered several design alternatives in balancing the heat transferprocess with the pressure drop. The third project focused on the problem of turbine bladecooling. The problem was modeled as two-dimensional heat conduction with internal heatgeneration (actually a heat sink representing the internal cooling). The differential equation waswritten in finite

By doing so, we emphasize the thermodynamic and detailed nature of chemicalequilibrium. These two concepts arise naturally by performing a singular value decomposition ofthe stoichiometric matrix, avoiding the necessity to specify reaction paths, and providing a leanand easy-to-understand algorithm based on matrix-vector multiplications.

The engineers of2020 and beyond, as envisioned by the NAE‟s report, must become versed in more than thetechnical possibilities of problem solving by incorporating a deep and meaningful understandingof the social context in which their design work is situated. In going beyond, engineers shouldaspire to “expand their vision of design through a solid grounding in the humanities, socialsciences, and economics”1.The movement in

Disaggregation and intersectionality research focused on undergraduateengineering students’ race/ethnicity and gender is being conducted, and we will extend it toinclude graduate engineering students and investigate diversity beyond race/ethnicity and gender.We are interested in how disaggregation and intersectionality can assist in investigation ofdifferences in engineering identity.
