Furthermore, A.S. degrees are by definition, more “hands-on”, these degrees could become a popular route to bachelor degrees.Florida Supporting InitiativesCommon Course Numbering System. In the 1990’s Florida adopted a common coursenumbering system throughout the state for all its post secondary educational institutions in orderto facilitate the pathway to obtaining the Bachelor’s degrees from the states’ public institutions.This means, for example, a student taking Freshman English, or English Composition, or CollegeEnglish I at any of the state’s 28 community

city of five million have resulted in a concrete jungle of overheated homes andsuffocating interiors. Trees have been cut down to make space for building construction andresidents of the town squeezed into closely spaced rectangular boxes of brick and concrete, cut-off from nature and isolated from their human surroundings. Physically and psychologically, thequality of life has suffered. Since our region lies in a temperate zone with day temperatures in thehigh 30’s to around 40C a good part of the year, people who have air-conditioners use them quiteheavily, causing considerable electrical load. Other people experience much thermal discomfortand tend to live with it.These observation led us to think on new lines concerning “climate responsive

It alsoallows the user to choose between three element sizes to adjust the load bearing capacity asneeded.
