Anadditional twist, however, is that the managers take the exam together in another room, andalthough each manager submits his/her own exam, the managers can discuss the exam questionsand answers with one another. Further, each manager must also grade the CompetencyAssignments from his/her teams (two assignments). The course instructor grades theCompetency Assignment submitted by the managers and the exams submitted by all. Studentshave different teammates for each assignment and everyone gets to be a manager once.Outcomes from this are:1. Students are required to meet and interact with more of their classmates.2.

Criteria for Classroom Laptop UseHaving acknowledged that the students should somehow use the laptops in class, the next step isto determine exactly what criteria should be used to develop these classroom laptop exercises. Inreflecting on this, I have identified five characteristics as being important in this student use:1. There must be a “Value-Added” aspect to the assignment. In other words, the laptop use in class should not be simply busy work. Further, the “value-added” aspect must be clearly evident to the students.2. The student must be actively involved in using the laptop. The laptop should not be used to merely view a Powerpoint

As part of that training, thepreliminary TC2K accreditation criteria [1] and their implementation plans were presented. Thiswas our first real exposure to TC2K. It did not appear at that time to be a near-term challenge aswe expected to be reviewed using the existing TAC of ABET format.Two months later at the beginning of the academic year, our department chair informed us thatwe had been invited to volunteer in the 2001 pilot visit project.

In the US, undergraduate degree programs that directly attend tosustainability are of two types: (1) interdisciplinary programs that do not grant engineering degreesand (2) environmental engineering programs that are vital but do not entirely address the holisticnotion of sustainability.

Thishas led to scientific investigations focused on the enhancement of reactive processes through thecoupling of plasma discharges and combustion chemistry [1, 2]. Results from these studiesstrongly suggest that flames may be enhanced by injecting additional energy to raise the systemtemperature or by the production of highly reactive species. Pioneering studies, such as those byAdamovich et al., [3], Bozhenkov et al., [4], and Ju et al., [5], have demonstrated a notablereduction in ignition temperatures, whereas the work of Starikovskaia [6] and Starikovskii [7]showcased substantial reductions in ignition delay times, both of which are pivotal factors inoptimizing combustion
