Determine where to draw SP1, SP3, & SP4, and then draw the process diagram to represent what the states actually are (CL, SL, WV, SV, or SHV). Drawing the T-s concept graph is a bit of an iterative process, but should be drawn to represent the proper regions for the state points. It is a good practice to label the pressure lines with their values. Similarly, labeling the temperatures on the graph is a good practice. Note that the T-s graph is not to scale. You can see this by noting that SP2 temps are actually

response shift bias for several ofthe survey questions, and/or (b) teachers’ belief that something is true without a factual basis forthat belief. Although there were several design approaches to consider, the E3 team determinedthat the retrospective post-then-pre survey design was the best fit for the program and thereforerestructured the affected questions for subsequent post-program surveys. As such, the revisedsurveys were administered to participants in the subsequent E3 summer programs.Major survey findings indicated that the E3 participants experienced substantial changes in thefollowing areas: (1) improved understanding of the engineering discipline; (2) heightenedawareness of the breadth of engineering careers; and (3) greater familiarity

authors attempt to answer twoquestions: (1) how does an inventor think about forming a whole (complex device, tool orfunction) from parts (simple components)? (2) How can generalizations of thinking processes ofinventors be derived to “guide the act of invention” (p. 321)?Weber et al examined an actual patent (Patent # 4,683,826), granted to John B. Solie, H.D.Wittmuss and O.C. Burnside in 1987, and interviewed one of the inventors of the patent (John B.Solie) using a retrospective protocol method to understand the invention process and derive a setof heuristics to guide invention. Patent # 4,683,826 is an “agricultural invention for theapplication of herbicides” (p. 321) used to apply “herbicide uniformly in one pass over an area,using existing

On the other side,academia moves more in a direction of research and has a career path based on primarilyresearch criteria and with less recognition of experience from working life 1, 2.The purpose of this paper is to identify faculty approaches to industry connections andworking life issues in engineering education. The research questions are: a) What are facultyattitudes towards working life issues and their integration into the curriculum? and b) Whatactivities related to working life do faculty members introduce to the curriculum?These research questions are based on the assumption that faculty attitudes and curricularactivities related to working life are important factors in engineering education if we want toensure that students

Phase.The above courses will be described in more detail in the following subsections (B.2-B.4),based on the phase of the project they refer to. Furthermore, an existing co-taught civilengineering/architecture design studio course was modified to focus on the Solar Decathlon. Adescription of this course is presented in subsection B.1.In addition to the above mentioned courses, a select group of the engineering students wereinvolved in the Solar Decathlon as part of their senior design projects. Specifically, the seniordesign project teams focused on: 1. designing and building the energy-management, controlsand monitoring systems, and 2. designing and putting together the mechanical and electricalaspects of the solar panels and the design of the

starting, where you’re ending, and basically how to get from A to B.” Those learners who have a problem getting from point A to point B may seek additionalhelp. Authors categorized this as information seeking and found that students sought additionalhelp through TAs and group members. “If it came right down to it if I did have questions I couldjust ask (the TA), then the other member of the group and say, ‘do you know what’s going on?’I think having the people there was helpful.” Instructors should encourage student collaborationand may need to provide some guidance to PBL learners. Another emerging student concept was effort. Student 6 discussed the payoff for theeffort required to solve equations by hand. “It helps me understand
