According to the 2011survey results of newly graduate students, only 17% of the University of Pennsylvania 2011SEAS graduates entered in engineering careers who went for fulltime employment (excludinggraduates pursuing further studies or seeking employment). The 2011 report collected data fromDecember 2010, May 2011 and August 2011 SEAS bachelor’s degree recipients. Based on thissurvey, engineering career is further broken down into five categories such as research anddevelopment (36%), design (25%), project management (22%), manufacturing and production(11%) and quality assurance (6%).

ResultsThe results presented here review data from the past two years. This initial data review will helpto refine the survey questions as well as how to code various aspects of the response, which aredone by hand, on paper and generally open-ended. Some students write more, while others arevery terse. There is also some uncertainty in how the students understand some of the surveyquestions and so they may not think to mention certain play experiences as being relevant (e.g.building blocks). It also appears that some students are more or less able to name

more than seemed manufacturing methods such as might be possible in thepossible at the outset. But how do we put developing worldthat motivation in place?To inspire a team to excellence, it is imperative that the project topic be carefully chosen, as thetopic is the genesis of the student’s efforts. Broadly, teachers should turn to well-researched ba-sic principle, such as the 15 principles listed by Wankat and Oreovicz “What Works: A Com-pendium of Learning Principles” [2]. The authors believe that the creation of successful projecttopics should follow three key principles: 1. The project must be rigorous but within the student team’s capabilities, 2. The students must feel that the project matters, and 3. The topic

The initiatives areoutstanding examples of a win-win relationship for a university program, secondary educationand more importantly the students.

While their complexity also contributes to the challenge ofincorporating these issues in the classroom, it allows for rich educational experiences connectingtopics within biology and connecting biology with chemistry and engineering. This moduleengages students in hands-on lab activities, a virtual lab, and an engineeringdesign activity. The initial activities are very structured, much like traditional lab investigations,while the later activities are more open. The engineering design activities are related toatmospheric carbon dioxide and require students to apply and synthesize concepts

From the classic design of the first aircraft to the more futuristic design of theWaverider (X-43) that uses its own shock wave to improve its overall performance, allneed wings and empennages to assure stability and maneuvering during flight. At theearly conceptual design stage it is often necessary to obtain initial estimates fordivergence and flutter, when only the basic geometry of the wing/tail surface are known,and much of the structural and aerodynamic properties are yet to be established1.Parametric studies to determine the effect of varying some of the structural-aerodynamicvariables on the flutter instability boundary are convenient.

Material Condition (MMC).Four steps are proposed to accomplish the task: (1) creation of two-dimensional (2-D)initial template files, (2) generation of hierarchical folders for the template files, (3)creation a 3-D gage model from a specific template file, and (4) dimensioning andgeneration of the gage drawing. Results show that, by following this approach, studentscan effectively generate correct engineering drawings for functional gages.1. Introduction of GD&T and Functional GagesIn the engineering drawing design, GD&T is a means of specifying engineering designand drawing requirements with respect to actual “function” and “relationship” of partfeatures.

there were no negative comments on both the PLC and theseminars. This is expected since students are not required to participate in the PLCactivities. They come to the tutoring help only if they need help and they come to theseminar only if the topic is interesting to them. The absence of negative commentsindicates that the delivery of the activities met students’ expectations.With the help of the PLC, 50% of first year computer science technology students didfinish their programming sequence on time. This is compared to 2.4% in the previousyear when the PLC was not available.The PLC initially aimed at making the service available to the students so they are morelikely to utilize it.

A DC voltage in the range of 250 volts is applied to the terminals of a fluorescent tube. The tube is half-coated to allow viewing of the plasma inside the tube. The uncoated end should be connected to the negative terminal of the power supply and the terminal at this end will serve as the cathode. A Tesla coil is used to initiate, or strike, the plasma. The plasma produced by excitation of the argon-mercury gas mixture in the tube produces a visible structure. At the cathode, the cathode glow is visible followed by

The resulting model demonstrates threshold and bistability, with the two stable states roughly corresponding to the rest and peak of an action potential. 2. Voltage-dependent gating variables and their dynamics in response to a voltage change. 3. Extends the NLPC model so that the Na+ also has a voltage- and time-dependent inacti- vation. This model initially possesses a response similar to the model without inaction, then the inactivation of IN a returns the cell to rest. This introduces the concept of

Studentsundertook conceptual design of pedestrian bridges. After a class wide study of innovativeprecedents, they worked in small groups and were required to choose and analyze a site,and propose an initial structural scheme.
