Duringthe residency week, they follow the schedule of activities shown above in Exhibit 1.On day 1 (Monday), students along with the instructor(s), will travel to visit the companyfacility. The objective of this visit is to understand the current business process and refine theirproblem statement. The typical sequence of events on Monday is as follows: a) students arrive atthe company premises and are guided to the conference room by company associates; b) the topexecutive(s) of the company will give a brief presentation on

The individual and predicted results are shown in Figure 2.Notably for this sample, the highest mind map rubric score for students earning D’s in the classwas 4 points; however, there were also several students with higher grades that also scored 3 or 4points on the rubric.

inspired Deleuze and Guattari's [12]concept of Rhizome, which in biology is a mass of roots that sends out shoots from itsmultiple nodes; think of ginger or turmeric. Deleuze and Guattari used the biologicalconcept of Rhizome to represent the complex connections between individuals and systems,individuals with other individuals, and systems with other systems; a sociologicalrepresentation. Mycorrhiza shares most of Deleuze and Guattari's [12] Rhizome’sprinciples1. Mycorrhiza mainly differs from the Rhizome in that (a) the Mycorrhiza couldbe predicted (imagine being able to predict what a new node or connection would do to thepart of the network) and (b) its connections with other beings and nature are as important asthe connections between humans

to minimize the thermal contact resistance betweenthe heat sink and simulator. A flat surface-thermocouples was placed on the top side of the block.Subsequently, a heat sink was mounted on the top of the block and fastened with a customdesigned clamp to ensure good contact at the interface and secure the heat sink against the wind.The assembly was installed inside the windtunnel and additional thermocouples were placed onthe side surfaces of the aluminum block, which were then insulated with foam insulation tape toensure that heat is mainly conducted to the heat sink. The complete assembly before installingthe thermocouples is shown in Fig. 1(b). Thermocouples were connected to NI-9213 cDAQ(National InstrumentsTM) based on LabVIEW for data

. Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams OVERVIEW This module illustrates the traditional concept of under- versus over-reinforced concrete beams, and the newer concept of relating the strength reduction factor to the anticipated failure mode—the so-called unified design procedure of Appendix B to the ACI concrete code11. In a nutshell, the idea is that a reinforced concrete beam fails in a brittle manner if the compressive strain in the concrete reaches its crushing limit before the tensile strain in the reinforcing steel reaches its yield limit. The design characteristic that controls this, given a set of material properties, is the ratio of steel area to concrete area. The distinction

BSMEprogram moved from the now defunct ABET Student Outcomes a-k to the new ABET StudentOutcomes 1-7 for the 2019-2020 academic year. The new Measurement Systems course wasidentified as an appropriate course to assess ABET Student Outcome 6 that states that studentswill have “an ability to develop and conduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpretdata, and use engineering judgment to draw conclusions” [5]. This outcome differed slightlyfrom the previous Student Outcome b; thus, a new assessment was developed.A final significant factor in the course development was the multiyear effort at LTU toincorporate entrepreneurial education throughout the engineering curriculum [6, 7, 8]. As apartner school in KEEN, LTU uses the KEEN framework to
