The 2017 Budget:Investing in American Innovation Kei Koizumi Assistant Director for Federal R&D White House Office of Science & Technology Policy“Sixty years ago, when the Russians beat us into space, wedidn’t deny Sputnik was up there. We didn’t argue about thescience, or shrink our research and development budget. Webuilt a space program almost overnight, and twelve yearslater, we were walking on the moon. That spirit of discoveryis in our DNA.” - President Barack Obama January 12, 2016The 2017 Budget:• Invests in R&D and innovation• Accelerates the pace of innovation to create jobs• Improves Americans’ health
Session 1149 Distance Learning Courses in Engineering Technology at Rochester Institute of Technology Carol Richardson Rochester Institute of Technology Abstract Two Engineering Technology departments at Rochester Institute of Technologyhave participated in distance learning initiatives since 1989. The Department ofElectrical, Computer, and Telecommunications Engineering Technology presently offerseleven different courses in two different distance learning formats. The Department ofManufacturing and Mechanical Engineering Technology offers a
typical soil andwater conservation topic outline to a more theoretically rigorous level, inclusion of problems andlabs relating to problems at the rural-urban fringe, including some additional topics relevant tothe rural-urban fringe and moving from an implied farm scale to a more explicit problem scalethat lies between the bench and the region is the essence of the transformation from “Soil andWater” to “Natural Resources Engineering” advocated herein. A more rigorous approach andviewing problems from a perspective of scale instead of production agriculture is a validfoundation for an engineering discipline which will command respect and be genuinely relevantfor years to come.2. IntroductionWith the demographic change in the “Agricultural
Paper ID #40746Establishing and Sustaining Inclusive Learning Communities forSupporting Faculty Creating More Inclusive Engineering ClassroomsMiss Jessica Moriah Vaden, University of Pittsburgh Miss Jessica Vaden is a PhD Candidate in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Pittsburgh where she is a STRIVE Scholar. She received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) in Chemical Engineering where she was a Meyerhoff Scholar (M26). Jessica’s research spans a number of different areas including sustainable engineering, empower- ing communities about air quality, and
, finiteelement analysis (FEA), computer-aided design (CAD), or just hand drawing with trial-and-errormethods.The differences between high school and college students were studied in many ways except howthey address and attempt to solve authentic problems. The present paper investigated these twogroups of students as they were facing authentic problems. Since the two groups are vastly differentin their knowledge level of mathematics, physics, and mental maturity, the present paper will onlycover some comparable aspects, including the logic, steps, procedures, screening, groupcontribution, confidence, and seeking help from others.The author of the present paper served as the instructor of senior capstone projects in mechanicalengineering at a public

Graduate, School of Mechanical Engineering School of Mechanical Engineering Georgia Institute of Technology Georgia Institute of Technology Currently: Senior Energy Analyst, Pecten Group, Atlanta GAIntroductionA building “zone” is a control volume representing a part or the whole of the space in a buildingthat is conditioned for thermal environmental control. The preferred Zone Temperature Equation(ZTE) is a time-derivative equation for the all-important temperature of the air in such a buildingzone; consequently, the ZTE is an important tool used in state-of-the-art building energy systemsimulation models. In contrast, early building energy simulation programs did not incorporate orutilize a rigorous

Engineering Technology (MET) program is to educateits MET students on energy conservation in general and for buildings in specific. In this study,which was part of a project conducted for HVAC & Refrigeration class (MET 42100), the teamdecided to investigate ways to reduce energy or improve the coefficient of performance (COP)and efficiency of refrigeration cycles by looking into energy consumption in the condenser unit ofthe system. Sometimes overlooked and underappreciated, a power plant condenser can make orbreak the efficiency and power delivery goals. Understanding how important a role thecondenser plays is a good step toward greater energy conservation awareness. The teamconducted a parametric study to analytically investigate improvements
