Specifically:• Alaska is rich in wildlife, minerals and natural resources including oil. Field trip(s) could focus on fishing and seafood processing industries. Students could study the production and movement of Alaskan seafood into the US mainland and the rest of the world.• We were unsure what Petropavlosk, Russia could offer. We wanted to see the extent that this somewhat isolated Russian Pacific Rim territory would be involved in the global supply chain.• Korea has a large

A participant might choose todiscuss the importance of a diverse engineering community or describe how s/he interacts withstudents and colleagues with different backgrounds and experiences. At the very least, a diversitystatement provides future faculty with the opportunity to demonstrate that they have givenserious thought to the issue.

Page 25.472.6[5]. Running a CAD package on a provider’s server(s) through the cloud and paying a smallfraction of the original license fee on a pay-as-you-go usage basis is certainly appealing. Inaddition, time and cost intensive software updates and maintenance issues are out of the pictureas well. On the downside, it is obvious that an internal local area network connection allowssignificantly faster data transfer rates than an Internet connection. In addition, rendering CADdata can be very demanding in terms of computing power and over the Internet one mayexperience a slight lag in response time. Whether or not the lag is tolerable will depend on thevarious usage scenarios. While it may be perfectly acceptable in a CAD training environment

A 200 N-mm couple acting counter- clockwise keeps the member in equilibrium while it is subjected to other forces acting in the plane (shown schematically at the left). The four dots denote equally spaced points along the members. Assuming the other forces stay the same, what load(s) could replace the 200 N-mm couple and maintain equilibrium?Analysis of Student Responses: Two of the five students responded with the correct answer E.These two students were able to identify that both the force and moment of the selected responseare equivalent to the given situation.Student A: “...it’s a couple moment because it has equal forces in opposite

The mathematician carefully measured the diameter and evaluated a triple integral. The physicist filled a beaker with water, put the ball in the water, and measured the total displacement. The engineer looked up the model and serial numbers in his red-rubber-ball table. ________________________________________________________________ During the heat of the space race in the 1960's, NASA decided it needed a ball point pen to write in the zero gravity confines of its space capsules.

The lessons passed on to me from classmates who entered academia,coupled with the support of my dissertation supervisor and several other faculty mentors, Page 3.559.11equipped me much better than most to enter the academic job market. Another advantage I hadwas being in a field where the number of active teaching/research programs in the US is smallenough that one can identify almost all of them fairly easily.
