Occasionally,other types of engineering courses integrate teaming as a part of some of the courseprojects. In this paper, we are reporting our findings of integrating teaming into aprogramming course. This study examines team projects and team interaction in a

The external loads and properties of members are generallyassumed deterministic, meaning that the variation of loads are not random in timeor the member properties are of constant values over time. In this paper, theanalysis will be discussed on bars structures with

The decision was made early on to emphasize design principles inthe course at NJIT, so while the two courses do overlap, the one at NJIT goes deeper into areasimportant for a PV system designer. The level of overlap between the two courses should notdeter students graduating from the ET program at CCM and continuing their studies at NJIT andtaking the “Solar PV Planning and Installation” course. Taking the two-course sequence wouldprovide a greater understanding of both operational aspects of PV systems, and the designconsiderations in the development

staff.BackgroundAccording to the United States Census Bureau in 2010 there were ~56.7 million people withsome form of disability, or ~19% of the American population.1 However the term ‘disabled’ canbe difficult to understand, as the severity of the disability is not always clear. It could mean thatsomeone had a partial hearing impairment or that someone had a severe motor pathology likecerebral palsy. The 2010 report Americans With Disabilities1 gave insight into the rates ofemployment for those with disabilities and those without. From this it becomes clear how hard itis for those to with disabilities to find employment and support themselves. However supportstructures and employment opportunities do exist For example the AbilityOne program employs45,000 people
