Definition: A Bezier curve is a mathematically defined curve used in graphic applications. The curve is defined by four points: the initial position and the terminating position (anchors) and two separate middle points (handles). The shape of a Bezier curve can be altered by moving the handles. The mathematical method for drawing curves was created by Pierre Bézier in the late 1960's for the manufacturing of automobiles at Renault in order to handle the curvilinear shapes of modern design. Computer graphics tools lend themselves to the use of such a technique

statistics must represent the actual results of calibration and the results should not be hidden by manipulating the numbers. Student Feedback: In general, the students seem to appreciate the course and what it is trying to teach. The hands-on nature of the course is well appreciated. This is the first opportunity that some of the students have gotten to use some of the equipment, such as an oscilloscope. One of the students felt that the text book(s) could be used more. I suspect that they do not see the value in using the texts as a reference and they therefore resent having to purchase the book and then not having homework problems assigned out of it. Reflection: The course seems to be well received by the students. I still feel that they learn

self-efficacy.Highly validated instruments for self-efficacy have produced different results. Hackett et al.’s 18work examined SME vocational self-efficacy and academic milestones self-efficacy for 197students and found no significant gender differences for either construct. Meinholdt andMurray’s study 19 was based on Hackett’s instrument and found a trend (p < .07) that favoredmen for academic self-efficacy but no gender differences for vocational self-efficacy.Although researchers seem to agree that it is an important concept, the research results show amixed view of gender differences for engineering self-efficacy. Further, these studies vary basedon the degree of validation of the instruments used, the number of institutions examined

For example, when the villagers brought up the problem of a broken solar pump, everyone was required to brainstorm and troubleshoot since no one had prior experience on it (Figure 7). With some help from the professors, the faulty inverter was identified, and a replacement recommendation was proposed to the villagers. References 1.

make manufacturing flow smoothly. 4. DFV determines tolerance using tolerance analysis. Designers have a tendency to arbitrarily assign tolerances to critical components in products. Using scatter plots (Bhote, 2000) tolerances can be decided on critical components that are close enough to achieve the functional requirement and at the same time are not Page 23.664.6 too restrictive to unnecessarily increase the manufacturing cost. An example of 6 how this can be done using Shainin’ s Red X and Green Y ideas (Bhote, 2000) is shown in Figure 3

over the chip. The camera plugs into the USB portof a PC and produces videos (30 frames/s) of fluid flow. The magnification ranges from 10X to500X. Other camera types and set-ups are of course workable as well, including higher-endconsumer CCD cameras. The quantification of flow rate can be made adding a graduated scale inthe image, such as with a thin plastic ruler placed along the flow channel which shows theposition of the flow front in each frame along with the time for that frame. From this analysis,the flow velocity can be accurately determined as a function of time. A common analysisobjective is to determine the pressure drop ∆𝑃 between two points as a function of flow rate Q orfluid velocity v. ∆𝑃 = 𝑓
