, which are widely used in engineering courses [4]. While the intention of team-baseddesign projects is to provide all students with a range of technical and non-technical masteryexperiences [4,5], students enter into these experiences with differences – whether real orperceived – in relevant technical skills that undermine individuals’ participation and persistenceon team-based work. Prior research indicates male engineering students are more confident thanfemales in their math and science abilities, as well as their abilities to solve open-ended problems[6-9]. Lower confidence in women often translates into lower likelihood that they will take anactive role in technical tasks and instead relegate themselves to administrative or people

Iberian-American countries have concluded that the concept of an American engineer,and that of an Ibero-American engineer, are similar. It is agreed that cultural, economic, social, andpolitical situations must be taken into consideration, in addition to the academic and technicaldevelopment of each individual country.IntroductionThe globalization of the economy is resulting in ever-increasing border openness

The former two also include advances in the respective machine tools.MetalcuttingPC Rules. To use a personal computer (PC) to communicate with the computer numericalcontrol (CNC) system of the machine is now standard practice in most new machine tools. ThePC-CNC interface is effective even with older CNC machines. The newer machines are moreintelligent and capable of self-diagnosis. They incorporate 64-bit processors to boostprogramming and information transfers to

Aerodynamic Analysis and Comparison between Axial Fan of Five and Seven Blades Mehrab Hasan Mechanical and Energy Engineering Department University of North Texas AbstractIn this study, numerical simulations were conducted on a specific model of axial fan, which has a widerange of applications in the industry. The simplified geometry of the fan was generated usingSOLIDWORKS and then it was imported to ANSYS for aerodynamic analysis. Static Pressure on fanblades were calculated for different air flow velocities ranging from 2.5 to 7.5 ms-1 velocity. It

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

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.

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
