Differences may be due to the variations in the percentage ofinternational students in each major who are already studying abroad by coming to ourinstitution, curricular inflexibility, lack of relevant courses at our programs abroad, and differingperceptions about the ability of engineering students to study abroad while staying on track withtheir degree requirements.For the years 2011 to 2016, 79% of graduates from the School of Engineering were in bachelorof engineering programs (biomedical, chemical, civil, computer, electrical, and mechanical) vs.21% in bachelor of science programs (engineering science (ES) and computer science (CS

This approach gives students first hand experience in designing the architecture used to acquire anddisplay many types of information using client/server based systems.

Students in the class have typicallydisplayed a mixed understanding of basic mechanical concepts such as redirection of movement,fasteners, bearings, etc. which usually motivates the instructor to stress these concepts.

Statics course.IntroductionThe proliferation of the personal / desk-top computer has caused many in education to examineways to use the machines to enhance education. Unfortunately there are at least two drawbacksassociated with computer use as an education enhancement tool.One is the use of computers as a remediation tool. If the student is already having difficulties,then remedial work tends to make them even more remedial because they don’t have time to putinto new material. Ample evidence exists to demonstrate that students who are deficient in mathrelated skills are at a significant disadvantage compared other students. Thus, a student enteringthe College without at pre-calculus background may never catch up.Efforts to use computer-aided

one repeat unit) or oligomers (for afew units). In order to form a solid matrix for composite materials the monomers/oligomers mustreact with each other to form long molecular chains. In addition, the chains of thermosettingresins react from one chain to another forming cross links so that the resin becomes one massive,three dimensional molecule. In this state the solid polymer has greater mechanical stiffness andresistance to solvents than it would have otherwise. These reactions are exothermic and,generally, irreversible. Thus, unlike a thermoplastic, a reacted thermosetting resin will not softenand flow on subsequent heating.Because the reactions are exothermic, tracking temperature changes as a function of time (Figure2) is a long-used

A highEDI indicates that most people dropping the class are doing so before they have a substantialinvestment in the course and suggests that the placement regime is good at allowing students toeither select an appropriate course or make an early adjustment to a more suitable course. A lowEDI indicates that many people are failing to master the material even after a significantinvestment in the course. Our hope is that adding a confirming assessment to the traditional oneshot placement mechanism will achieve a higher EDI.The EDI is an imperfect measure of placement effectiveness, as there are many reasons why astudent might perform poorly in a class, even if placed correctly

Several profilesof arithmetic gradient series cash flows are presented along with techniques of deriving closedform equations for their net present values. The designs are based on classroom lecture notes ofthe authors and have been used extensively over several years to motivate students and ease theirfear of the analysis of arithmetic gradient series cash flows. The pedagogical benefits derivedfrom the tent models help students to have a better understanding of other cash flow profiles.The models are given interesting names such as “The Executive Tent,” “Saw-Tooth Tent,”“Cathedral tent,” and so on.
