Fortunately, the tool is not limited for use to only engineering students. It isa Web-based electronic tool with free access. This paper presents information found in a studyregarding post baccalaureate students seeking teacher certification with relation to careerassessment, learning style assessment, and interest assessment. As the data were evaluated,questions arose, which will be discussed in a later section. This paper has four objectives: 1.

The advising tool was designed by the College of Engineering at TexasTech University to provide assistance in career decision-making for students in theCollege. However, this guidance inventory can be effectively used by students in othercolleges and by high school and junior high school students. ObjectiveThis paper does not reflect research as is common in most journals but gives an accountof and evaluates the usefulness of E-COACH for high school students and high schoolcounselors.

Technology for Design ApplicationVariant CAPP was the initial stage of the Computer-Aided Approach (Stage III). This stage isbased on Group Technology (GT) coding and classification approach to identify a largenumber of part attributes or parameters. These attributes allow the system to select a baselineprocess plan for the part family and accomplish ninety percent of the planning work. Theplanner will add the remaining ten percent of the effort by modifying or fine-tuning theprocess plan. The base-line process plans are manually entered using a super planner concept,which is developing standardized plans based on the accumulated experience andknowledge of multiple planners and manufacturing engineers. There are three types ofcoding, hierarchical

was taken using two palm pilots with “cardswipes” of student’s ID cards. For a large lecture hall of 200 students, the initial concernregarding our ability to monitor attendance was allayed with this system. Beginning ten minutesbefore the hour in which class was to begin up to a few minutes into the class period, two peoplewere able to capture the card images for all students attending class. At a certain time into theclass period, the decision was made that all students entering after that point would be deemed“tardy”. Thereafter, one person alone continued to swipe cards of students entering the lecturehall. Following the class, a program was run to enter the results of the card swiping into anAccess database.

Mathematical ModelThe discussions of compensators in cascade with the plant and feedback stream werecombined to determine the desired output. Here we will begin with a brief discussion of acontrol scheme that utilizes a frequency domain method known as state-space controllerdesign. In this scheme additional poles and zeros are added to the system that modifiesthe response strongly. This design process makes great use of specific poles in second-order

not want to break into only two pieceswhen bent. Surprisingly, this has been the subject of much interest and research including by therenowned physicist and Nobel prize winner Richard P. Feynman who never actually solved theproblem [10]. French researchers Audoly and Neukirch (2005) are generally credited withsolving this mystery [11]. Their explanation is that when spaghetti initially breaks, its curvaturesuddenly relaxes causing a burst of flexural waves which locally increase the curvature causingfragmentation into usually 3 or 4 pieces. Very high-speed photography (250,000 frames/sec)confirms their hypothesis [12]. Using advanced mathematical analyses, Long et al (2021)developed an analytical equation for this phenomenon [13

On the surface it would seems that the measurements madewould reinforce the theoretical studies done in the lecture hall of resistance, conductance,inductance, and capacitance. However, the student quickly learns that the mathematical modelsexperienced in the textbook have severe limitations.The third experiment (Fig. 3) employs a high-quality modern microwave network analyzer(Agilent E5071C) to study impedance matching using a double-stub tuner. This lab is closelylinked to the experiments done by students in the lab three decades ago. The design andmeasurement goals are the same, but the instrumentation is radically different.

One of the most cited and influentialfactors in students’ decisions has been shown to be related to their experiences studying math,specifically calculus [9]. Additionally, those who do not complete calculus in their first semestersee ahead of them three more semesters of study that they perceive to be simply useless,unexciting mathematics.

Upon discovering a digital device from the vehicle,student teams were instructed to go to the “forensics technician” table to exchange their digitaldevice for a USB drive that contained a forensics image of that digital device. This was done toavoid having competitors create their own forensics images, as this is a time consuming processthat could take several hours or even days.The students then would perform digital forensics analysis and often the teams would have theirmembers work in parallel: one student would look at the email evidence, while another
