Of course, unit conversion plays an important role here; e.g., to convert from lbf.ft/sor N.m/s to hp. Bryan Allen, an avid bicyclist in top condition, sustained about 0.4 hp for near 3hours as he pedaled and piloted the human-powered Gossamer Albatross in June 1979 to crossthe English Channel.

Walker, urged in November 2002 to “reverse immedi-ately the decline in the scientifically and technologically trained U.S. aerospace workforce andpromote its future growth.”3 In another chilling observation, an editorial in AIAA’s AerospaceAmerica noted that “80% [of aerospace workers] said that they would not recommend aerospacecareers for their own children.” In addition, enrollment in nation’s engineering schools steadilydeclines, while many undergraduate and graduate students are foreign nationals, which makesthem largely ineligible for

When Pioneer came out with their DVD recorder that featured a one button “start” andre-writable media, OEEP purchased one unit and for one semester recorded in one studio. Itbecame evident, almost immediately, that the quality of recording was superior, the mediarequired less storage space and more rewrites per media were possible according to thespecifications. Hence all remaining monies at the end of the fiscal cycle were allocated toswapping out all mastering units, and the beginning of the next fiscal cycle expense money was Page

Nevertheless, the informationindicates that the graduating seniors believe their coursework has given them a strongbackground in the 11 educational outcomes required by ABET.
