Session 1421 Professional Credentialing of Construction Students: The Changing Face of Construction Engineering Education Virendra K. Varma, Ph.D., P.E. Missouri Western State CollegeAbstractEngineering Students in their senior year, especially those in the field of civil engineering, sit forthe EIT/FE examination. Though, it may not be their program requirement, majority of seniorsdo generally opt to take the examination. Construction students, however, seldom have had thesame opportunity to take a national examination to qualify as a certified professional
Session 3147 VOICE CANCELLATION Roman Stemprok, Pin-Hui Tan University of North TexasAbstractDeveloped societies experience an increased level of noise pollution which can be associatedwith industrial activities or higher human concentration. There are several noise categories, suchas transport noise or social noise. A transportation system is a necessity and few places in urbandevelopment exist where transport noise cannot be heard. Social noise, however, is the greatestsource of nuisance noise and complaints. Surveys from various geographical

image scanners.This paper details the techniques used in a microprocessor laboratory to generate a CRT imageof both text and graphics using the rasterizing hardware built into the AMD 29205 processor. BackgroundThis paper is an extension of a paper presented previously at the 1995 ASEE annualconference1 that detailed the techniques for designing a microprocessor lab around the 29205processor. The lab station described in that paper included both the SA-29205 demonstrationboard for the processor and a separate terminal for interaction with a host computer. The labstation in that microprocessor laboratory is evolving away from the need for the separateterminal by using the processing power available in
Session 1547 CAD Training Using Interactive Computer Sessions Jorge Rodriguez, James Ridge, Amy Dickinson, and Ronald Whitwam Western Michigan University / Steelcase, Inc.AbstractThis project addresses the need to train CAD users on proper modeling methodology. New CADsoftware empowers designers with the flexibility of parametric or variational design. Thesefeature-based parametric modeling packages allow modification of a solid model by changing itsdimensional parameters; however, incorrect modeling methodology may cause failure in thedesign stage. Failures occur when modified dimensions cause a conflict within
Aquarium Fires - Why Water and Electricity Do Not Mix Navarun Gupta, Manan Joshi, Bhushan Dharmadhikari, Lawrence V. Hmurcik University of Bridgeport, 221 University Avenue, Bridgeport, CT 06604AbstractLarge aquariums (25 gallons or more) offer an amazing way to teach electrical safety insofar asthe prevention of electric fires is concerned. We report on 4 aquarium fires and their origin. Allwere started due to the presence of a large amount of water vapor in the air. All were caused byshort circuits, which were never truly short circuits in the conventional sense – had they beentrue short circuits, no fire would have started. All of the fires were put out by the water in theaquarium, though not

However, there remains a significant gap in making introductoryprogramming courses accessible to all students.Students in introductory programming classes come from diverse backgrounds and have a widerange of interests. Some have completed comprehensive introductory computing courses in highschools, while others have not. Some students have access to a rich ecosystem of computingresources, whilst others do not. These characteristics are heavily influenced by larger historical,social, and economic challenges. Individual abilities and interests also differ. Some students areless comfortable exploring

In other words, their major difficulty was not
, it is a common practice to hire adjunct facultyfrom industry to deliver instruction in select areas of design and construction, such as bridgedesign, construction contracting, special problems, etc. The reasons are two-fold: One, to avoidhiring full-time tenure-track faculty to comply with the budgetary constraints, and Two, to utilizethe expertise of practitioners in specialized courses. Practitioners utilize engineering codes,standards, and specifications on a routine basis, and are well-equipped to transmit thisknowledge to the students in an interesting and challenging manner. Practitioners face a varietyof problems in their day-to-day practice and are open to sharing them with the students. Studentsenjoy exposure to real-world problems
