That relationship will likely occur betweendifferent departments due to the low number of females in any one department. Finally, thevalue to society of an engineer who has the ability to collaborate with other disciplines cannot bemeasured but is invaluable to future success. The benefit of the collaboration on this study hasprovided the untenured faculty member within our team with networks within and outside ourinstitution. The tenured faculty members in our collaboration have gained new teaching andresearch ideas based upon the technological interfaces between departments.Bibliographic InformationBelenky, M.

. Calculating the heat transfer rate from a pipe (regardless of where the pipe islocated) or the insulation required around a pipe is a typical exercise given to an engineeringstudent. Most of the properties that are needed can be found in the appendix of Incropera &DeWitt. However, the answers to parts b.) and c.) certainly cannot be found in any standardtextbook and requires the student to think (at a minimum) and search the library or internet forpossible answers. Indeed, the students’ answers to parts b.) and c.) for this particular problemwere much more exhaustive than the solution provided and included much personal reflectiongiven the high potential for loss of human life and destruction to natural resources.Problem StatementFaced by what is

This paper shows examples of how these templates are utilized tosolve for unknown quantities in four typical three phase circuits. Two other common circuits arealso shown. Part of the reason for developing this approach is to help students understand howthree phase circuits really work, and when and why to use the √3 factor. IB . B I3
