With doom and gloom on the horizon, the engineers werefaring poorly, with many of the younger ranks unemployed. There was no Ministry ofTechnology and frustrated professionals were disenfranchised from political leadership anddecision making. “We engineers have to look the facts in the face” Conrad Matschob exhorted“the plight of our times is not primarily caused by the progress of technology , but rather by thefrequent failure to make its results available to the economy in the right form.” (Jarausch 80) Ofcourse

level ofcomplexity of the models must be tailored to the learners' current levels of knowledge and skills”(NRC, 1999). Treating these as guidelines, the learning objectives of the course were organized asfollows -1) Developing understanding the process of Engineering Design – understanding the problems,and constraints of design, collecting relevant information about the problem, its scope and resourcesneeded, research and document multiple approaches to the solution of problem and select anappropriate approach for solving the problem2) Developing proficiency in using the SolidWorks Design Suite - present the design ideas bycreating virtual prototypes (3D parts and assemblies) and by means of clear and industry standard 2D-drawings3

To keep the relative humidity at sucha high level; approximately 80% of relative humidity, closed loop wick and reservoir system willbe used. This system uses a fan to blow air through a wet filter, transporting the water in the air.Another important measure to consider is an infant’s weight; they can gain almost an ounce aday for the first couple months of life. To monitor this weight gain, four strain gauges are placedunder the mattress that the infant is resting on in the incubator. The deformation of these straingauges is directly related to a weight.

Most of the functions that are used by the developers tocode PL/SQL programs to provide an interface to the business and also some of the task to createtable, table spaces, partitions and many other primary functions. So our basic aim was to developan application instance/module to construct functions or tasks that were used by both the users. Constructing an integrated view of the users was the basic deployment of the application.A File menu model was defined to provide some basic functionality. 1) SQL window/Command Window 2) Table, View, Sequence ,Synonym , Directory ,Job 3) PL/SQL functions (Package ,Procedure, Functions, Triggers) 4) System Functions ( User

The choice of renal replacement therapy (RRT) oftendepends on several conditions that include clinical indication, and types ofdialysis machinery.The subsequent paper focuses on a computer generated model via COMSOL torepresent the dialyzer unit and the processes that occur within. The primary goalis to facilitate a better understanding of the hemodialysis process and thebiophysics involved in its design.II. HEMODIALYSIS PROCESSHemodialysis units can be broken up into three basic subsystems: the blooddelivery system (I & IV), dialyzer or exchanger (II & III), and the dialysatedelivery & waste system (IV & V), (Figure 1).

This paper describes the use of video-streamed tutorials for facilitating software use inundergraduate and graduate classes in civil and environmental engineering. The scope of thepaper includes software associated with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and GeographicalInformation Systems (GIS), two classes of software that illustrate the challenge and importanceof integrating software into the curriculum. Both of these classes of software are extremelyimportant in civil and environmental engineering. 1

methodologies for teaching and learning in software intensiveenvironments, it is important to draw a distinction between training and education. Training isusually understood to be the acquisition of a specific set of skills in order to master theperformance of a specific task, with little emphasis on theory. [1]. This is not to say that theory isnot important, and in fact implicit in most professional training is the fact that an understandingof the underlying theory and abstractions already exists in the trainee. In contrast, education ischaracterized by the transmission of knowledge and understanding for use in subsequentdynamic applications [1]. Implicit in education is the exposure to theory as at least part of thelearning experience. Step by step

traditional didactic and passive-style learningreferred by Paulo Freire as “banking education.”[ 1] There is ample precedence and philosophical backing for the learning-by-doing approach.Some trace it as far as Confucius, with his memorable adage from around 450 BC: “Tell me, andI will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand.” In more recenttimes, David Kolb defined the concept of Experiential Learning Theory (ELT)[ 2] using twocontinuum axes: active experimentation–reflective observation and abstract conceptualization–concrete experience. Each of four learning types consists of experimentation, experience, orreflection as an active component of the learning process. These components can be used asbuilding

expectations fordigitally based architectural education and practices. It sets an expectation for architecture tobehave like a 21st-century structure, not merely be fashioned to look like one. Performance-based design is a particularly promising direction in regard to architectural generative processesin which a form can be not only evaluated based on the performance criteria, but also derivedthrough the very process of simulation. Performance-based simulation is emerging as a critical component of the contemporarydesign process [ 1] [ 2], where it can function as a mechanism for the generative design validation.Performance-based simulations could facilitate human design by interactively responding todesign parameters or function as semi
