Extinction or is their Mission Changing?Abstract - Across the nation, numerous legacy electronics technology programs at the two-yearcollege level are: being converted to Cisco and A+ based computer networking and repairprograms, increasingly being asked to teach electronics fundamentals to non-electronics basedtechnologies, and, most significantly, experiencing declining enrollments. In some cases,programs have been discontinued entirely due to a persistent lack of students. In essence, thebasic core mission of the legacy electronics technology program, to produce “electronicstechnicians”, has been morphing into a hybrid educational endeavor. This fact is being driven bythe increasing use of complex electronic systems and sophisticated

necessary humidity for the cell to function.However, this self humidification through the back diffusion from the cathode side provides alimited range of operation for the fuel cells.Without external control of the humidity, fuel cells do not operate at optimum condition. Theygenerally have a warm up time lasting many minutes, in which they operate at limited outputpower. During operation, flooding could occur when there is an excessive amount of moisturebuilt up in the fuel cell when the cell temperature is relatively low and inlet reactant gases areexternally humidified. The humid air could condense to water inside the cell. The water thenlimits the flow of air through the reactant flow conduits and isolates the catalyst surface from thereactant

usage in close tolerance. One goal of the foundry engineer is toproduce cores and molds of consistent dimensional accuracy, and hence a casting satisfying thetight tolerances of the automotive industry. This objective inevitably will result in improvedquality and more efficient production. The developers and users of chemical binders, in hot orcold box cores or on patterns for mold, all have these issues in mind.One of the main aspects when talking about dimensional accuracy is thermal distortion of themolds and cores. To the best of our knowledge currently there is no testing protocol to determinethermal distortion in a controlled fashion at pouring temperatures. Practitioners use data based ontests at room temperature in order to predict mold
