For example, therewere three programs tied at a rating of 3.9 for fourth ranking in the 2006 report and are labeled as4(A), 4(B) and 4(C). No ranking or rating distinction is implied by these letters. Interestingly,two of the 31 programs, 14(F) and 21(D), rated 3.2 and 3.1, respectively, in 2006 did not appearon the list in the three prior years. These therefore show as blanks for those years in Table 1 andTable 2 and as missing points in the figures that follow.Ratings for 2006The top 31 ratings reported by U.S. News for the most recent rating year are shown in Figure 1.These 31 programs ranged

While magnifying the displacements makesthe models less “real”, it helps students to understand how deformation occurs in the object,similar to the method of using physical foam models. A sample view of an AR model from thecourse being viewed on a computer and in AR is shown in Figure 1a and b, respectively. Therewere minimal technical challenges when using the Sketchfab application in class. One suchchallenge was that students with older cell phones, approximately 5 students out of over 100,were unable to use the AR feature (Figure 1b). However, these students were still able to viewand rotate the model on their cell phones using the online viewer in the

The survey questionsaddressed students’ experience with: A) choosing a project prior to or during the Job Fair, B)participating in the Job Search/Selection process itself, and C) working on the project with teammembers since then. Some of these questions were adapted from the work of Orono and Ekwaro-Osire on assessing team formation,8 and others emerged naturally from the unique aspects of ourcompetitive approach. Figure 1 below shows the survey questions, including an introductoryheading explaining the purpose and confidentiality of student responses. Page

Using the various shape and line options, various channeldesigns can be patterned on the mask. The conversion 1 mm = 2.83465 pt was used to select aline width in ‘point’ that could scale to the dimensions desired in mm. The masks can then beprinted on a Pictorico transparency.
