. • Develop and apply engineering solutions, while being cognizant of local geography, aspirations and cultures. • Create engineering solutions beyond current or dominant technologies; improve, innovate and invent (technologies) to achieve sustainability. • Actively engage communities and stakeholders in development of engineering solutions.Educational Approach The traditional and probably most common method of introducing aspects of greenengineering has been through a senior and graduate level elective course on environmentalengineering, with an emphasis on process treatment. Courses were developed that focus onmethods to minimize or prevent waste streams from existing chemical plants in the 1990’s. Theeducational

engineering studentparticipation but the association with success outcomes for non-Black student members is also afuture area of interest. Additional insights into quantitative relationships can be gained by graded categorizationof NSBE membership that accounts for factors such as number of years of involvement, whenthey first joined the organization (e.g. freshman vs later years), level of involvement, and otherstudent success outcomes (e.g. GPA). Exploring how and why particular associations exist canalso be supported by more rigorous qualitative explorations of NSBE members decisions topersist or leave engineering and/or the organization and what unique role NSBE played in thesedecisions.References[1] D.

This paperoutlines the development of a virtual reality environment to aid in teaching the design andevaluation of flight controllers using classical control techniques. This environment is beingdesigned to provide a collaborative space where user(s) can manipulate the locations of poles andzeros of a controller for a dynamic system (such as an aircraft) and visualize its response. Such anenvironment will enable the user(s) to visualize how controller design

S&T human capital is defined as the sum of individual’s knowledge, skills, resources,and her professional linkages and networks [15]. With such a model, the concept of collaborationmay go beyond the state of individual partnership and include the entire research team or eventhe research field. However, even these approaches are not often concerned with the quality ofcollaboration and relationships between individuals.Indeed the nature of collaboration cannot be explored unless we go beyond the quantitativemeasures of collaboration to examine the process in addition to outcome.

Further, the majority of the responding students felt that theirmajor(s) and universities did not prepare them in terms of handling natural disasters and extremeweather events.

For example, students maybe asked to collect and simulate data for one insert geometry and to focus on acomparison of the experimental and CFD results, as well as on the performance ofdifferent numerical schemes. Alternatively, the emphasis could be on comparing(experimentally and computationally) the performance of the two inserts. In all cases,experimental and computational pressure and velocity data is collected and analyzed.Table 1 lists sample velocity data collected for the original venturi insert at an inletvelocity of 28.45 ft/s.

There are two SAE standards: J1739 is for automotive, andARP5580 is the aerospace recommended practice.The SAE J1739 standard identifies the intended use of FMEA as a “before-the-event” way toreduce the probability of needing corrective action for failure modes after the process or productis implemented 4.
