After some discussion, we arrived at some possible reasons why thisoccurred.Design presentations have been in place in ECE since 1978, when it was first implemented insenior design. In the mid 1990’s the practice was integrated into sophomore and senior design.Because the practice has been in place in all three courses for almost 20 years, it has becomeinstitutionalized as a disciplinary genre in oral communication. Student familiarity with theexpectations of the presentation—the team approach and the prescribed time limit of 20minutes—may explain the minimal difference between project and control students’performances. In addition, when we examine all of the

As is well-known, the enormous success of the German economy is duepredominantly to the success of the numerous small and medium size high tech andmanufacturing companies, which may not be as well known as a Bayer, BMW or Siemens, butwho are leaders in certain niche markets. They have proven to be excellent hosts for ourundergraduates since they have a strong interest interacting with them and integrating them intotheir company life and culture especially if they have an employee championing the internshipprogram because s/he is an alum of the IEP.

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

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

CEEC ’95’s call foraction resulted in the adoption in 1998 of the first version of ASCE Policy Statement 465, whichsupported the “concept of the Master’s Degree as the First Professional Degree for the practiceof civil engineering at the professional level.”5 After further committee work, in 2001 ASCErevised the preamble of the policy to say that ASCE “supports the concept of a master’s degreeor equivalent as a prerequisite for licensure and the practice of civil engineering at theprofessional level.”6 This statement equated “practice at the

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
