Engineering is a discipline that teaches andtrains young minds in purification, separation and isolation in a broader sense for processindustries. From an environmental point of view, pollution prevention is the study ofcontaminant purification (P), separation (S) and isolation (I), which we call PSI. These are theunderlying activities that will be used to tackle the contamination problem in its totality. This is aformidable task for a single chemical engineering department in a nation of 130 million people,where meeting the basic necessities of life is by itself a war for existence.However, a solution to these problems is certainly not possible without strong leadership fromthe country’s technical leaders. Toward this end, the expected outcomes of

If the switch is to the left, AM is employed,which may be expressed by the equation: s (t ) = Ac [1 + Da m(t )] cos ω c t (1)where s(t) is the modulated signal, Ac is the amplitude of the carrier (assumed to be 1 in this VI),Da is the modulation index, m(t) is the baseband (message) signal and ω c (= 2πf c ) is the carrierfrequency. If the same switch is to the right, the double-sideband suppressed carrier (DSB-SC)AM is employed, expressed by: s (t ) = Ac m(t ) cos ω c t (2).Figure 3: Envelope

The problem sets described in this paper were developedfor introductory chemical engineering course(s).The formatting, layout, style and focus of the problems are based on those of the widely usedtext, Elementary Principles of Chemical Processes, 3rd, by R. Felder and R. Rousseau 6.Courses taught with a different textbook may still use the problems since they cover topics suchas units and conversions, material balances with and without reaction, single and multiphasesystems, and energy balances. To allow professors to integrate easily these problems into theirclasses, we have “mapped” them to specific chapters

Digital Electronics course.The secret to presenting digital circuits successfully to students who have no technicalbackground is to avoid references to electricity or computers and stick purely with the 1’s and0’s. In such a setting, digital circuits are just implementations of mathematical expressions.There are no “volts” or “bytes” or anything that might confuse the simplicity of 1’s and 0’s. Bytreating digital circuits simply as implementations of mathematical expressions, and treatingwires as just pencil lines that connect logical elements in drawings, students can learn to designand build digital circuits comfortably.This paper provides applications of a lab station design that has been disclosed in an earlierASEE paper1, and discusses

In this equation, the derivative factor is calculated separately by thethree-point formula (6) or central difference formula (7). In brief, it consists of averaging theslopes of the secants behind and ahead of the point where the derivative is approximated (seeFigure 7.1 in Ref. 7).
