Is there a difference between female and male hourly wages for engineering students in a mandatory co-op program?2. Are the results simply because of region? i.e. is this phenomenon relegated only to Cincinnati or to the State?3. Is there still a difference when examining profession, major, or co-op term number?4. If we control for Location, Citizenship, Ethnicity, GPA and credits earned are we still able to predict a significant variance in hourly wage for Females and Males

There were fourteen graduate students that tookthis class in the traditional, on-campus, mode. They were all international students withlimited industry experience. In addition there were fourteen distance students who wereworking engineers and used a variety of communication technologies to participate in theclass. Seven utilized an audio-visual network that allowed them to see and hear the class,as well as be seen and heard by the other

experiences in enhancing the ECE curriculum at Wichita State University,our efforts in getting the curriculum certified by the Committee on National Security, andour collaborations with the neighboring universities and community colleges to bringawareness of information security in the community. 1. Introduction This paper discusses our experiences in introducing information assurance andsecurity (IAS) curriculum in the ECE department at Wichita State University. Whileproviding specific details of implementation at WSU, this paper also provides a generalstrategy and outlines the steps that one can follow to develop such degree or certificateprograms. It discusses the steps involved in introducing IAS
usingstatistical method.IntroductionThe research results are focused on the solids-flow monitoring and measurement in thecombustion system. The laser based phase Doppler particle analyzer (PDPA) system andparticle image velocimetry (PIV) were used to explore solid-particle flow and theircharacteristics.The phase Doppler method is based upon the principles of light scattering interferometry.Measurements are made at a small, non-intrusive optical probe volume defined by theintersection of two laser beams. The intersection of the two beams creates a fringe patternwithin the probe volume. As a particle passes through the probe volume, it scatters light fromthe beams and projects the fringe pattern. A receiving lens strategically located at an off

The Minority Male Makers (MMM) Program, directed by Morgan StateUniversity, in Baltimore has established a Maker community in Northeast Baltimore City thatallows middle school students and their teachers to develop science, technology, engineering,and mathematics skills while expressing their creativity. The long-term goal of this project is forparticipants to 1) create products using 3-D modeling software and 3-D printers, 2) developsoftware and embedded applications, 3) enhance computational thinking skills, and 4) pursuerelated entrepreneurial ventures. This effort is a partnership between the School of Engineeringand School of Education. Middle school teacher and student participants were
non-food crop in which all the available carbon can be utilized to liquid fuels is theway forward to develop sustainable energy technologies. The “Thermochemical” pathway toprocess abundant cellulosic biomass affords an opportunity to develop atom economicalprocesses. Pyrolysis is one option being pursued. This two-step approach requires furtherupgrading to transportation fuels. Another option is thermal depolymerization that produces one-carbon product that can be reengineered to a variety of transportation biofuels such as ethanol,butanol, gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Approaches to achieve the next-generation synthesis ofthese desirable biofuels will be discussed.
