A one-dimensional, finite difference numerical heattransfer analysis of a 6” layer of concrete was performed to determine the benefit ofinsulating concrete with a top temperature of 100 ºF and a lower ground temperature of50 ºF. Insulation produces a 10 ºF higher temperature at the 2” depth where the waterpiping will be located compared to an un-insulated design; this was the reason for the useof insulation.A three-inch concrete layer was poured on the

The requirements of the student’s major program, of course, varydepending on the particular major. For example, the CSE major consists of required and electivecourses in a range of topics from software design principles and practices to algorithms, fromcomputer systems and architectures to computer networking, from AI to computer graphics andvideo game design; and a culminating capstone project course which may, for example, consist ofdesigning and implementing a set of web services to meet the requirements of a real client.The entrepreneurship minor, offered in the business school, specialized for

compiled by theHonors College on a 5 to 1 (best to worst) rating scale. In this case the comparison was withother Honors courses in the fall of 2001. Again, the average scores for this Introduction toEngineering class (3.94) were lower than the overall Honors course evaluations (4.24). The datadoes not directly compare freshman evaluations but includes all four years. Only one category –oral communication skills – was ranked higher for Introduction to Engineering than for otherHonors courses, and it was significantly higher. The main “downers” were in writing skills(3.35), fairness in grading (3.65), and individual attention by the instructor (3.6).As might be expected of an Honors course, grades were high: Fall 2000: 20 A’s, 1 B Fall
