Real Engineers say "It's 70 degrees Fahrenheit, 25 degrees Celsius, and 298 degrees Kelvin" and all you say is "Isn't it a nice day?" Real Engineers wear badges so they don't forget who they are.

In this course, group work was encouraged on homeworkassignments. Since homework was only 5% of the course grade, just attemptinghomework assignments clearly affected test grades.I also analyzed homework, test and grade interactions from the fall 2000 semester in theclass ChE 306, “Design of Staged Separation Processes,” at Purdue in which 120 studentsreceived grades.

Knowledge of electricity theory throughexperiences is the end goal. One way this will be accomplished is by providing the students withfirst a concept, then asking them to make predictions. Introducing students to engineering at thekindergarten level is obviously a long term investment but what better a time to peak theirinterest and curiosity at such a vital age. The project also provides university faculty with theopportunity to serve the community.1.0 IntroductionThe primary goal of these experiences is to give kindergarten students engineering

Three ofthe contact points are between the pyramid that is recessed in the fixed rigid body and the sphereof the moving body. The other two contact points are between the spheres of the moving bodyand the flat surface of the fixed rigid body.
