studentshave completed this in-class project, they must each complete an additional drawing as ahomework assignment (see Figure 1(b) and Figure 2). Students are given the option to replicateselected drawings in their texts and other objects that are authorized by the instructor. Thesedimentation basin in Figure 1(b) is an example of the drawing homework that was produced bya student with previous CAD experience from high school (not the SolidWorks program). In thiscase, the student’s drawing more closely replicated an example from the textbook by adding asecond baffle plate to the entrance, a sloped-floor with chain and flight sludge removal system,and a more advanced weir system for the effluent. This figure illustrates that skills developedfrom

deviation that your data set has identified.Worksheet: “MC Simulations” (2) Create a new worksheet to develop your simulation (one has been started for you). Research the current population of Woburn, MA. You will model this population using the Mean and Standard Deviation for exposure duration (time lived in Woburn) [Column B] and body weight [Column C] found in Step (1). Use the Excel Function: NORMINV(RAND(), Mean, Standard Deviation). Hint: this should generate X random entries which is equal to the number for population. You may have manually copy the equation into the X number of cells. (3) Calculate the CDI for each resident [Column D] that you are modeling. In this scenario, you are modeling the

affective outcomes related tosustainable engineering. This project was aimed at beginning to fill this gap.Research QuestionsThis research explored the following questions: (1) At the beginning of the courses, to what extent did students vary in their motivation toward sustainable engineering, appreciation for interdisciplinary skills, consideration of others in the context of engineering, and interest in global work? a. Were there differences between institutions? b. Were there differences between the students enrolled in different courses at the same institution? (2) Did student attitudes on these issues change over the course of a semester when taking courses that included

How do choice opportunities in EnvE compare to chemical and civil engineering degrees? b. How do choice opportunities in EnvE compare to non-engineering degrees in chemistry, math, and physics?(2) What is the balance of required technical and non-technical courses in top

peersand thus spawn professional growth. By marrying individual studies and a capstone course, the proposed model better meets theintent of ABET General Criterion 3 and General Criterion 5. These criterion sketch theknowledge bridge this proposed curriculum model seeks to build. ABET Student OutcomeCriterion 3-a, 3-b, and 3-e outline the need for the student to demonstrate the ability to applymath and science by designing and conducting experiments related to an identified problem.Then, in Student Outcome Criterion 3-c and Curriculum Outcome 5-c, ABET requires that thestudent be able to apply this knowledge to “design a system, component, or process to meetdesired needs within realistic constraints…”2 Studying engineering is intensely time
