scanning provides much faster inspection speedwithout the need to move the transducer and can also be used to produce a top-view (C-scan)image of a large area by moving a transducer doing raster scanning. Figure 4(b) depicts thefocusing operation. The focal law attached to each diagram tells the pulsing time delay for eachelement. It can be seen that different focusing depth corresponds to a different focal law.Figure 4(c) illustrates the steering operation which allows a single transducer to scan multipleangles compared to the single angle solution for the conventional ultrasonic technology. Moreimportantly, the capability of steering the beam for reaching limited-access regions within acomponent is extremely valuable for the inspection of parts

Each of the 276 points represents a studentenrolled in the class in a particular semester, therefore any student repeating the course appearsas more than one point on the graph. The points are color-coded according to course grade: A =blue, B = red, C = orange, and D or F = black. The passing grade in this course is a C.We can rank the students by the total number of words they wrote: less than 1000, 1000 to 2000,2000 to 3000, and more than 3000.

– Program OutcomesABET Criterion 2, Program Outcomes, consists of eleven units of knowledge or skill thatstudents are expected to acquire during their time in the program. As these appear in the criteriadocument2 in an alphabetized list, they have come to be known colloquially as a through k. Tosatisfy the criterion, a baccalaureate engineering technology program must demonstrate thatgraduates have: a. an appropriate mastery of the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of their disciplines, b. an ability to apply current knowledge and adapt to emerging applications of mathematics, science, engineering and technology, c. an ability to conduct, analyze and interpret experiments and apply experimental results to improve

The results in the various locations were allwithin 20% of the reference point (the aluminum prototype). Only one of the data points(location B) predicted what would be considered a type II error (lower stress than the baseline).The FEA analyses required almost 50% more time to complete than the simple

Project SolutionThe concept behind the Smart Pantry system is to allow a user to scan-in purchased groceriesthrough a data system. This allows a user to develop an active inventory of what food is availablein the pantry. The data stored includes the product type, product name, the product’s expirationdate, and the location within the pantry that the item is stored.
