The elements emphasized andadopted to promote project evaluation practices include periodic review of journal/log bookentries, presentations, periodic milestone reports, at least weekly meetings with the advisor(s),and the final design report.IntroductionDue to its culminating nature, the senior design project course is probably the most significantexperience of the undergraduate engineering students (1). In the process the students apply whatthey have learned in their undergraduate course work; develop their communication,interpersonal, project management, and design skills; and learn about the product developmentprocess. Students also get an understanding of the
problematic. Since most people domake a living by working, does this mean that everyone is a professional? And if everyone is aprofessional, then why bother to use the term? Seeing everyone as a professional actually has theeffect of demeaning the true professional, who has sacrificed considerable time and money toacquire expertise in a field that s/he has made a lifelong commitment to.Professionalism according to the LiteratureThe literature defining professionalism is rich, varied, and contradictory, constituting a body ofknowledge in itself. A brief tour of selected books and articles reveals a definition ofprofessionalism that counters the popular notion, one that for many students is foreign territory.While sociologist E. C. Hughes (1958) argues

“psychologicaltools” appropriated during the course of intellectual development (also called “cultural tools”).These tools are not developed by the individual in isolation, but rather, like language, emerge asproducts of sociocultural evolution. A psychological tool in sociocultural discourse is virtually anyinstrument connected with conceptual thought—calendars, the computer, maps, mechanicaldrawings, and works of art to name a few. One’s mental functioning is tied to the cultural andsocial settings in which the individual masters the tools s/he uses to help reason through asituation. The tools become carriers of the sociocultural patterns of knowledge, which theindividual actively engages and at the same time influences.Some recent research on problem

Chinowsky Georgia Institute of TechnologyAbstractThe beginning of the 21st century is witnessing an awareness that the civil engineering industryhas become a global industry. The rapid increase in foreign ownership of firms in the UnitedStates together with the globalization of economic markets is reminding civil engineeringprofessionals that they must be aware of global events before they impact local operatingconditions. In response to these

There was also a statisticallysignificant difference (p = 0.05 level) between EG and FED students in English, Mathematicsand Engineering and in the cumulative GPA.IntroductionIn the past, the traditional engineering curricula has Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry in thefirst and second years, Engineering Science and Basic Engineering Courses in the second andthird years and the Capstone Design courses in each discipline in the fourth year. At New JerseyInstitute of Technology (NJIT), interest developed in the late 1970’s to introduce freshmen to theconcepts of engineering design. In 1977, the National Science Foundation supported the CAUSEgrant at NJIT to introduce freshmen to engineering design. The two

computer.EF1005's syllabus includes an introduction to the profession, examination of ethics and ethicaltheories and traditional pencil-and-paper problem solving techniques. These pencil-and-papertechniques are then translated to computer solutions via TK SOLVER. Exposure to TKSOLVER provides the student with needed familiarity with the computer and helps to preparethe student for FORTRAN programming. Although 'C' is also offered by the EF department,FORTRAN is the language used in our introductory courses. FORTRAN is a high levellanguage and moderately easy to learn. The learning of a programming language by our studentshelps reinforce the logic and step-by-step approach required for all engineering problem solving.The use of subprograms -- subroutines
computer contains afinite amount of storage, there is a finite (although large) number of states that the computer canassume, thus a computer can be formally and abstractly defined and represented with a finitestate machine of the form M=[S,I,O,fs,fo] where S is a finite set of states, I is the finite inputalphabet, O is the finite output alphabet, fs:SxI->S, and fo:S->O. Another and generally moreaccessible way to define such machines is the visual formalism of a directed graph called a stategraph or more often a state-transition diagram (or state diagram for short).Generally, a transformational system is specified by a transformation or function, so that aninput/output relationship is usually considered a sufficient specification.

datatransmission is complete or a specific period of time has elapsed, the token is passed onto thenext network device that wishes to transmit data. Token ring can operate at 4 to 16 Mb/s,depending on the implementation. The physical medium used to transport token ring protocol isnormally on a IBM type cable or unshielded twisted pair (UTP). Token ring technology usesmulti-station access units (MSAU) as the central connecting hub for the network. Newertechnology has produced token ring switching, which increases throughput performance of thenetwork. In this lab experiment, the student will be expected to configure a network computer fortoken ring with an MSAU as the central hub for operation at 16 Mb/s. Students will also makethe necessary UTP
calculate if aliasing will occur and if so to what frequency the sinusoid will alias.Five thousandths of a second of data is used for plotting, while one second of data is used for theaudio output. The MATLAB script file for the audio portion is shown in Figure 1. Initially, thesampling rate is 36000 samples/s. The data is plotted and the sound played. Next, the sinusoidis sampled at 18000 samples/s. The two sampled signals are plotted on top of each other to seethat no aliasing has occurred. The signal is played to see if any audible difference can be heard.Finally, the sinusoid is sampled at 3000 samples/s, and plotted in comparison to the signalsampled at 36000 samples/s. The 2400 Hz tone has been aliased to 600 Hz. The signal isplayed, and the

The accelerometer considers the ramp's direction as the x-axis and calculatesthe average acceleration experienced during the time it took the block to pass between the twoinfrared motion sensors. Finally, the screen displays the acceleration in meters per secondsquared (m/s²). Additionally, the serial monitor logs all the acceleration readings captured duringthe block's descent, along with corresponding timestamps.The development of this apparatus was part of a clinic project.
