andPractice in 1991 1: There’s an old Bob Newhart routine about baseball. In it, an adult game manufacturer is talking on the phone to Abner Doubleday who is explaining the rules of his new game, baseball. Doubleday explains, "Three strikes and you’re out, four balls `." "Why four balls?" asks the manufacturer. Why, indeed? The engineering curriculum, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree, has been a four-year program at most institutions for as long as they have offered degrees. Programs that required longer eventually found it difficult to compete for students. In the 1950’s and early 1960’s, most five year programs in existence were being phased out as the engineering programs, in

Basically,a ratio of output to input is computed to form an estimate of the FRF and then modal parametersare extracted from the measurement.This graphic is always good to have handy to keep everything in perspective when coveringdetailed areas of the theory of experimental modal analysis.

After a second period of growth in the mid-80s, 42,637 research doctorates wereawarded by 1986. From 1998-2002, the number of doctorates awarded each year generallydeclined and reached a low point in 2002.By 2006, an all-time high number of doctorates was awarded in the U.S.5 In science andengineering (S&E) fields, this growth was due in large part to degrees awarded to internationalstudents, many who came to the U.S. to study following World War II6. In 2006, U.S. citizensreceived 63% of all research and 56% of S&E doctorates. The percentage of U.S. citizens whoearned a doctorate in engineering was the lowest with

After the computer setup,hardware and software installation, and other issues were solved, we only had less than twomonths left to do the lab projects and design project. With their senior design, other courses, andpart-time jobs, the students didn’t have time to work on the projects outside the dedicated labsessions.Another comment by the students is that some training on GUI design and S-function inMATLAB will be helpful. They did some work on GUI design with the GUIDE component ofMATLAB. However, they didn’t complete the integration of the GUIs with their systemsbecause they didn’t have time to figure out how to display multiple dynamic trajectories (forteam A) or static shapes together with

presidentiste@gmail.com Abstract Technology has been changing very rapidly during the last few decades. Thisrapidity of change brings tremendous pressure on the educational system to identifywhat is basic and must be taught & learnt, and what needs to be imparted through selflearning or continuing education programs. The challenge for India is to build technicalskills into the mindboggling mass of working age professionals. It is clear therefore thatthe prospect of economic prosperity for India is critically predicated on the strengths ofIndia‟s technical education. Milton Freedman, a Nobel Prize winning economist observedthat, “the great untapped resource of technical and scientific knowledge available

conceivable that the server is engaged incommunication with multiple clients. The server can manage the multiple clients using one oftwo different approaches.One approach is to instantiate a server instance for each client. Thus each server instance,corresponding to a client, is logically disjoint from other server instances. Another approach is tohave only one server instance which is common to all clients. In the latter case the server has toknow which client endpoint it should wait on to read. This paper concerns a student project toaddress this problem.To make the project simpler, we assume there are two client processes, C1 and C2, that arecreated using the fork system call.

Papert, who worked with Piaget and continues to bea leader in this field, coined the term “constructionism” to refer to constructivist practicesapplied to a learning environment in which the students are constructing objects.31 Papert24defines constructionism as “an

Growing emphasis ongovernment-sponsored research and full-time undergraduate study directly after high schoolreduced the organization and substance of industrial interactions during the 1970’s and the early1980’s. This paradigm began to change around 1985 and new partnerships have continued toexpand to this day. One major influence that stimulated this reengagement was the growth andintegration of manufacturing engineering within the mechanical engineering curriculum,instigated by renewed industrial interest in sponsoring employees for continuing education tokeep current with changing

generallyconsists of defining and analyzing the problem, of designing a solution, implementing thissolution and finally controlling or evaluating it. Romizowski 2,3 (1992, 1996) observes that thisapproach is more heuristic in nature than it is algorithmic.Prompted by the desire to guide educators in creating more efficient learning systems (such asactivities, lessons, courses, or whole curriculum), researchers from the field of education starteddeveloping their own design models. The expression instructional design thus appeared in the1960’s. In recent years, instructional design is more and more often equated with instructional orcognitive engineering 4,5,6, reflecting the change of vocabulary already noted.Let us now take a closer look at the expression
