Elementary Examples of the PrinciplesFirst, consider fractions. Many forms for writing fractions exist. A canonical form is thefraction expressed in lowest terms. This form is suitable for multiplying and dividing fractions,but this form is not suitable for the addition or subtraction of unlike fractions. Then we need toknow that it is always possible to find numbers that will serve as common denominators (andeven a best common denominator) so that we can make the fractions alike. We need to knowthat the multiplication or division of any fraction

When faced with thousands of possibletechnological solutions, it becomes impossible for industry to find the most suitable answer totheir specific needs. One way to address this issue is to establish a partnership with academiawherein engineering technology institutions serve as an unbiased third party capable of validatingproposed solutions through research.

Whileengineering programs have approached this mandate from a variety of perspectives, adding code-based “ethics components” to existing courses in the curriculum seems to be the most commonstrategy.1The Engineering Division at Lafayette College, a small, undergraduate institution, has chosen toaddress this requirement with a course

The Art of Getting Our Students Involved Wolf-Dieter Otte Department of Computer Science, Northern Arizona UniversityEvery professor will have had this experience: after thoughtfully taught classes an exam iswritten. The exam tests the material that was covered in the classes. However, a mystical “lossof knowledge” seems to set in shortly after the exam. This phenomenon gains speed at abreathtaking rate towards the end of the semester.Why do teachers “own” the material, but only very few students? Why is it that our studentsmore believe than know and understand? And, most importantly, what can we do about it?In his higher-division classes, the author of this paper

As the sophistication of this technology has increased the base priceof these units has decreased. RP are now cost effective in graduate schools, technical schoolsand secondary and primary educational facilities. New improvements in the technology havemade RP units available to almost any school in our country. The terminology used in the rapid prototyping industry is not completely consistent.
