Florida/University of Texas at BrownsvilleAbstractThe goals of the Minority in Science Program Project, “Working in Teams to Enhance Pre-Engineering Curriculum” are encompassed in the overall objective of increasing the success ofminority students in gatekeeper engineering and science courses. The mechanisms proposed toobtain this goal include the development of a number of instructional modules for pre-engineering and science courses that will specifically address many of the barriers encounteredby minority students in these courses.A number of instructional modules are being developed for each of the following college levelcourses, that have been identified as gatekeeper courses for minority students: Calculus, pre-Calculus I, Physics

Some teaching systems exist but cannot be easily tied to existingcommercial systems. Equipment to test and characterize these new commercial communicationsystems is complex and expensive.To overcome some of these problems, student projects can be developed using a PC-based system forsimulation and application. The PC-based system used in this example is LabVIEW, or LaboratoryVirtual Instrument Engineering Workbench, a graphical programming language developed by NationalInstruments. It is used extensively for data acquisition, instrument control and analysis.4 In thisexample, a communications

The oscilloscope waveforms and meter readings are measured by realinstruments in a central laboratory and the resulting data are sent back to the student’scomputer for display. The student can view a list of which experiments are currentlyavailable and select an experiment to run. The student activity is recorded for evaluationby the instructor.OverviewThe growing trend of distance education can severely limit a student’s access to reallaboratory equipment.

Only in the final chapter of this text is theconcept of micro-mixing introduced using a mathematical theory that is relatively complex forundergraduates. We believe that it is important for undergraduates to have a concept of theimportance of micro-mixing on chemical reactions in industrial reactors. This paper describes aseries of experiments designed to introduce the concept of micro-mixing in an undergraduatechemical reaction engineering course. These experiments will give the basic problemsassociated with this phenomenon and illustrate the limitations of the ideal reactor models.IntroductionIn practice the issue of mixing and chemical reactions is very

Would it not serve these students well if we canintroduce such creative processes earlier? The answer is an emphatic "yes." However, in thefirst half of students’ academic careers, they do not have the theory and engineering maturity totackle many problems. This is truly a catch-22 problem.Energy policy issues are all around us. From clean coal technology to electric utilityrestructuring, energy policy problems make the headlines everyday.
