the desired location during the cyclic loading a notch withdimensions given in Figure 1 (view A) for the center-crack specimen, and Figure 2 (view B) forthe offset-crack specimen was machined.Also, as seen in the detailed views of the figures above, in the vicinity of the major crackinitiation notch two smaller notches were produced to enable the reliable coupling of anextensometer. These notches were not symmetrically situated around the offset notch due tosome loading frame fixture limitations.2.

The “science” is comprised of theanalyses applied in the process, such as discounted cash flow analysis, sensitivity analysis, orbreakeven analysis. The “art” involves defining the problem, identifying relevant parameters,synthesizing information, trading off multi-attributes, and considering non-economic influences.While traditional quizzes can test whether students understand the science, testing the art is moredifficult. We utilize a single question, open-ended final exam for this purpose. Students aregiven a problem scenario, data, and

. Less cost of purchase: a system that is based on fieldbus technology requires significantly less hardware than a traditional system. 6. Savings: fieldbus based systems will have a) engineering savings, b) construction savings, c) maintenance savings, and d) operation savings. 7. Lower cost of expansion and change: Since fieldbus systems are cheaper to buy and deploy, they are also cheaper to expand and modify.There are many fieldbus networks. Noel classified fieldbuses as discrete buses and processbuses [15]. Discrete buses primarily focus in the discrete manufacturing area and are typicallyON/OFF action, simple switches or low-level sensors. Competing discrete buses are: AS-I bus,Devicenet, Interbus-S, Profibus DP, SERCOS

During the analysis of the design of the damper, thestudents found that it is extremely difficult to disassemble the damper since the pins have aninterference fit. In addition to great amount of disassembly time, excessive work and strengthwas also required to disassemble the parts
thereforeindicate the effects of gender do not, by and large occur independently, but were influenced byother experiences.The study reported in this paper is part of a larger project to optimize an interdisciplinary coursefor non-majors.2 A curriculum has been created that is taught through: a) lectures, b) a set of web-based modules designed to meet the diverse needs of the different engineering fields, c) andlaboratory work. A set of case studies has been developed and will be used to illustrate conceptsand applications throughout the course. The curriculum has been pilot tested during Spring 2006at Michigan Tech University. A key component of the curriculum is the use of case studies thatillustrate the application of EE principles and concepts in the

shader. 3. Basic lights are added in positions and orientations that correspond with real light sources in the scene and set to cast shadows. 4. Global illumination is added. a. Photons are turned on at each light source. b. Global illumination is turned on in the render settings. 5. The photon intensity and exponent settings on the lights are adjusted to give the correct illumination of the scene. Page 11.312.15 6. The quality of the global illumination is adjusted to bring the render quality up to an acceptable level and get rid of the blotches. This is done by increasing the number of photons in
essential concepts, and an associated example problem, foreach of the approximately 10-12 fundamental courses. Then a total of 40-60 problems wouldillustrate the fundamental understandings required for mastery of engineering at a basicundergraduate level. Then some of us would do as Silman did and interview a diverse cohort ofour students as they work through each problem. A dynamic catalog of these extractedmisconceptions could allow the design of intelligent tests that pinpoint individuals’ weaknessesand allow the professors to tailor the lectures, discussion, examples, and homeworks to eradicatethe misconceptions. The goal would be true mastery of these fundamentals, not a “60%” whichis then curved to equate to a meaningless “B.”Perhaps this

define anefficient description. In this section, three different descriptions are presented todemonstrate the varieties of dataflow specification. In the future, writing efficientdataflow specification may become the focus of creating a good digital design.In the following descriptions, the symbols IA, IB, IC, ID, and IE represent five sets ofinput ports. Each set of input ports, e.g., IA, is assumed to contain the same number ofbits; for example, 16 bits. The symbols OA, OB, OC, OD, and OE stand for five sets ofoutput ports. Each of the other variables is represented by the alphabet A, B, C, D, or E,followed by an integer. The integer is used to identify the level in the data flowspecification.

On average the instructor grade of the student was 5% higherwhen the course was taught as EIA than when it was taught in a traditional EnvE format.Limitations of Short Term AssessmentsThe short term assessments presented thus far do not account for differences in teaching style ofthe two instructors responsible for the course during the assessment period. Instructor A wasresponsible for the course in Spring 2003 and 2005. Instructor B was responsible for the coursein Fall 2004 and 2005. The two instructors taught as a team in Fall 2003 and Spring 2004.Student grades of the course and student grades achieved in the course, as a function of theinstructor and the course format, are shown in Table 1.

The Spring 2004 course evaluations in both classesconsisted of primarily forced choice items with only a few open ended questions see appendicesA and B). The Fall 2004 course evaluations in both classes consisted of only open endedquestions that were very specific (see appendices C and D). It is important to note that althoughthe students in ME 1000 and ME 2000 were different across semesters the engineering professor,the communication instructors and the assignments and curriculum in each class were the same.Quantitative Data Summary ME 1000 and 2000 Spring 2004The
