We are jointly presenting a paper at a conference in February and are working on a book about our partnership. This engagement has resulted in a collaboration that fits in the Discovery criterion. q By teaching in industry, I stay current with business and industrial environment. I have coordinated the courses to accommodate the company needs yet I have maintained and not compromised our curriculum objectives. q I have involved the

Thechange in score was calculated for each individual, and histograms, Q-Q Plots and theShapiro-Wilks test were used to evaluate the normality of this data [9]. A paired pre/post t-testwas employed to evaluate the differences in the EERI scores from the first to the fourth year.This test was chosen for its effectiveness in comparing two related samples.ResultsInitially, the P score, which measures postconventional thinking based on universal good, had amean pre-score of 60.62 (SD = 17.59).

If the force F is constant and the displacementvector of the body during the action is q, then the work done on the body is given by U1→ 2 = F ⋅ q = Fq|| (2)where F is the magnitude of F and q|| is the scalar component of q parallel to the force F.

. Basic Heat Exchanger Analysis FormulasIn undergraduate heat transfer courses students are introduced to two different methods used inthe analysis and design of heat exchangers. They are Logarithmic Mean Temperature Difference(LMTD) method and Effectiveness-NTU methods. In a heat exchanger the flow heat capacityrate, in general, is defined as C = m& c p (1)where, m & denotes the mass flow rate and cp represents the specific heat of a given fluid stream.The rate of heat transfer from or to each fluid stream can be calculated from the followingrelation q = Ch (Th,i − Th,o ) = Cc (Tc,o − Tc,i ) (2)where, q is the rate of heat

multiple reason for this, the first and foremost is that the quantile rank itself is a useful diagnostic tool that will allow the researcher to determine whether or not a logarithmic or other fit is useful for the student data. Depending on the nature of the research and the exam itself, one may choose to use the quantile as an indicator that a Q-Q plot should be used next. Quantile distribution functions themselves can take many forms, for example, the exponential quantile takes the form, log ! (1 − 𝑥) 𝑄 𝑥, 𝑦 = − 𝑦 Where, x is greater than 0 and less than 1.

The next day, a brieflecture was given covering the basics, accompanied by a best practice example presentation anda handout with tips.
