The Nuclear Sun Shines Bright on South Carolina T. W. Knight, M. Garland, and A. Bayoumi Department of Mechanical Engineering University of South Carolina, Columbia, South CarolinaAbstractThe confluence of a number of in-state and out-of-state factors has motivated the establishmentof a new graduate nuclear engineering program at the University of South Carolina (USC) in theFall of 2003. One factor weighing greatly in favor of this effort is the large and thrivingcommercial nuclear industry in the State of South Carolina. The growing and expectedcontinued need for nuclear professionals makes the establishment of this program timely andpositioned to

paper is based on the view that good assessment promotes good learning, and the two shouldrun smoothly in parallel as a ‘two-lane learning highway’. This view is based on and illustratedby an examination of theory relating to; why, what and how assessment is conducted in UKHigher Education.However the practice of assessment and students learning in the UK is subject to manyobstructions which act as roadworks on this learning highway. This paper concludes with adiagrammatic representation of these obstructions, illustrating practical factors which should beconsidered in order to make optimal use of the theory.2.0 Assessment and learningAssessment is an integral and essential element in the higher education process.

InNovember 2001, this fundamental issue facing the civil engineering profession led to theadoption by the Board of ASCE Policy 465 which “supports the concept of the Master’sdegree or equivalent as a prerequisite for licensure and the practice of civil engineering atthe professional level.” The Board believed that education beyond the current bachelor’sdegree was needed to adequately prepare engineers for practice.The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) created the Task Committee onAcademic

. With a more diversestudent population, the project could be expanded to comparing source coding in differentlanguages.This is an extension of the Project 1. You have been introduced to the concept of block coding(encoding a sequence of symbols of an alphabet) as opposed to the encoding of single symbols.As discussed in the class, such encoding will provide for more accurate and efficient error detectionand correction after transmission through a channel.Project 1 dealt with single symbol Huffman Coding. Project 2 deals with Extended HuffmanCodes. For instance, for a source emitting two symbols A and B, the second order extensioninvolves coding messages AA, AB, BA and BB (22 in number).
