The respondents were primarilyeducated (unlicensed) white males between the age of 26 to 54, who worked for corporations ingeneral engineering fields (see Table 2). Figure 1 shows the diversity and number ofcertifications held by the respondents and Figure 2 shows approximately when respondentsattempted a SOLIDWORKS certification exam(s).Results show that 88.89% of respondents perceive that, in general, a SOLIDWORKScertification is valuable (i.e., has relative worth, utility, or

/S) transition, software-defined radio, through-the-wall radarimaging (TWRI)I.INTRODUCTION Materials common in construction are reinforced concrete or cement-based materials.Occasionally, these materials naturally develop cracks due to deterioration throughout their lifecycle. The detection of cracks, erosion, voids, and gaps in walls and structural supports is criticalin preventing structural failures. Microwave-based, non-invasive techniques such as Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) are preferred to detect structural anomalies since there is no impacton the integrity of the structure or material due to the penetration ability of microwaves intodielectric materials. Current NDT equipment have several limitations and drawbacks, such asbeing

Thispaper focuses on one research question from our pilot study: How do university student mentor definitions of “mentoring” compare to those of faculty / staff program coordinators?Theoretical FrameworkTo categorize participants’ definitions of mentoring, the research team utilizes Pfund et al.’s [14]attributes of effective mentoring relationships, which are “supported by the literature andsuggested by theoretical models of academic persistence” [p. S238]. This framework was chosenbecause of the ample existing metrics and examples of measurable learning objectives provided,which can be mapped to experiences participants share in their

An appropriate assessment is for sure needed.1.1 Example 1There are many gas power cycles, such as Carnot cycle, Otto cycle and Diesel cycle. In mostcases, the textbook discusses each of them and shows the process in a P-v and/or a T-s diagram.The diagrams can help the student to understand and memorize these cycles. However, thestudents may become confused to remember these curves because all the curves are quite new tothem. To help the students in learning these cycles, it is seen that all the well-known reversiblecycles (Carnot, Ericsson and Stirling) can be integrated into one T-s diagram (or a P-v diagram).Figure 1 shows the individual diagrams of the

Finally, outstanding issues will be mentioned.Motivating Factors and Long Term Goals Prior to this revision, the basic undergraduate EE program at Princeton had not changed forsome 30 years. In the late 80’s and early 90’s, several factors combined to lead the departmentto review its program. The first was the perceived changing nature of the incoming students.While equally as bright as their predecessors of 20 years ago, the students now seem to have lessof an inherent feel for engineering and less of an idea of what it is that engineers really do. Thishad led to a lower interest in course material, especially in introductory level courses. Whilethe first

the issues covered by the rules of the agreement has received considerable attention in recent months: theexchange of professional services across the border with Mexico. This increased attention is rooted in a numberof circumstances, among them the U.S. presidential election process. On a purely rational level, the issue of legal immigration of Mexican engineers could almost be dismissedon the basis of its relative magnitude. Currently the U.S. issues about 2500 temporary entry visas to Mexicannationals in all professional fields combinedz.
