Paper ID #38226MIND THE GAP! …between engineers’ process safety beliefsand behaviorsJeffrey Stransky Jeffrey Stransky is a PhD candidate in the Experiential Engineering Education (ExEEd) Department at Rowan University. His research interests involve studying engineering ethics and decision making and using digital games as safe teaching environments. He has published in the overlap of these topics by integrating digital games into chemical engineering curriculum to help students build an awareness of the ethical and practical implications of their decisions. Jeffrey obtained his BS and MSc in Mechanical
rise(International Center for Academic Integrity, 2020). This truth is evidenced by the fact that theInternet is full of pirated solutions to end-of-chapter problems of many popular college textbooks. An experienced college instructor may also comment that students today, aresometimes unaware that they are violating academic integrity codes, i.e., they feel that if theysubmit a correct answer, they should receive full credit, no matter how that answer wasobtained.In this paper, the argument is made that academic dishonesty is a matter for the student, theinstructor, and the educational institution itself. It is up to the instructor to engage methodsthat deter dishonesty. These methods require more creativity in test giving, homeworkassignments
ASEE-NMWSC2013-0058 Industry and Students Perception of Capstone ProjectsDilpreet S Bajwa, Department of Mechanical Engineering and Sreekala G Bajwa, Agriculturaland Biosystems Engineering, North Dakota State University, Fargo, ND.Email – dilpreet.bajwa@ndsu.edu , sreekala.bajwa@ndsu.eduAbstractCapstone projects are designed to help students learn technical, communication and interpersonalskills that will ultimately provide them with a broad knowledge base required at the start of theirprofessional careers. Engineering capstone experience prepares students to work in a productivemanner in teams. It is expected that the students will learn problems solving
equations. The same control system can bestable or unstable depending on the input parameters into the system. Stability or lack of stabilityof a control system can theoretically be determined by solving the control system differentialequation(s). The differential equation(s) can be solved numerically. A numerical solution of adifferential equation produces numbers that can be plotted but not an expression. The differentialequations can also be solved by classical differential equation techniques. The classicaldifferential equation solution techniques can be supplemented by using Laplace Transform andusing the MATLAB software to expedite the Laplace Transform formulations. Damping level(s)in a vibrating system greatly influence the stability level

necessary humidity for the cell to function.However, this self humidification through the back diffusion from the cathode side provides alimited range of operation for the fuel cells.Without external control of the humidity, fuel cells do not operate at optimum condition. Theygenerally have a warm up time lasting many minutes, in which they operate at limited outputpower. During operation, flooding could occur when there is an excessive amount of moisturebuilt up in the fuel cell when the cell temperature is relatively low and inlet reactant gases areexternally humidified. The humid air could condense to water inside the cell. The water thenlimits the flow of air through the reactant flow conduits and isolates the catalyst surface from thereactant

. Introduction Nearly twenty years have elapsed since Apple, Radio Shack, and Commodore launched the personalcomputer revolution by making computers widely available. During this period computers have becomeincreasingly powerful and affordable. Hardware and software innovations are announced with constantlyincreasing rapidity. While a considerable amount of this technology could be employed to reform the lecturesystem, most lectures still use blackboard and chalk, with the principal change being in the color of the board.Lectures still consist of the professor speaking and writing while the students dutifully copy every written andspoken word, at the expense of comprehension. Reasons for the lack of widespread employment of technology are

.ABSTRACTThe transportation engineering is taught in the junior year as a required course for all civilengineering (CE) students. The course provides an introduction to various aspects oftransportation engineering. The course, which is traditionally a lecture course, was redesigned toensure that every student actively participates and understands the physical elements oftransportation design. Throughout the course, the faculty conducted a simulating and engagingexercise of requiring students to solve practical problems during class in teams of twoimmediately after covering the relevant theory. The practical problems were assigned before anyexample problems were solved in the class. During the class, the faculty was available to answerany questions
