Mitchell Cruise data [16]. A constant bedfriction coefficient was assumed (0.0026) and the horizontal eddy viscosity wasset at 1.98×106 cm2.s-1. Heat flux parameters were obtained after consultingseveral references and after conducting comprehensive calibration tests [18].For the wind fields considered in summer and winter simulations, typical andconstant in time winds were based on combined data from two sources,Hellerman [27] and UAE Meteorology Department. The last 30 years of 106available records of Hellerman wind data were averaged up and found adequate

Of those some 4,000 charge 50% or more oftheir time to actual S&T projects and are considered to be the corepractitioners of S&T for the Navy. Almost half of those 4,000 holdPh.D.s1 with about half working at the Naval Research Laboratory(NRL) and

Everyone then heard a presentation onentrepreneurship in technology. Finally, students chose a breakout session with one of eightparticipating technology companies.

Dueswere $3.50 per year and one could become a Life Member for $50 in 1910.Early members had to be proposed by two members who knew the candidate and then theproposed member had to be elected by the Council (S.P.E.E.'s governing body) by atleast three-quarters support. Members of the Council had 3 year terms with one-third ofthe Council being retired each year. By 1910 there were 121 colleges teachingengineering and 938 members of S.P.E.E. consisting of 767 teachers and 171practitioners1.The Journal of Engineering Education began in 1910 and much of the information forthis paper was obtained from this source.

this paper believe that this is an important aspect in theestablishment of the field and should have been included in Fensham1’s characterizationbecause without adequate funding, high quality, rigorous research is unlikely to happen. Inthe U.S., the National Science Foundation (NSF) began funding STEM education-relatedprojects beginning in the late 1980s-early 1990s. The current budget for the Education andHuman Resources directorate in the NSF is nearly $1B per year (for all of STEM, not justengineering) and there are other funds available for EER within the NSF that are not includedin this overall amount.One could argue, that EER in the U.S. emerged primarily because there was a steady fundingstream available to support people who wanted to

composites for hulls, decks, risers and otherprimary structure, and the automotive industry uses composites to fabricate body panels, springsand drive shafts. The civil engineering community uses glass and carbon reinforced plastics inthe repair of aging bridges, piers, columns and other structures vital to the nation's infrastructureand economy. Exposure to the mechanics of composite materials and structures is usually reserved forthe graduate student. However, many undergraduate institutions find the need to provide theirstudents with experience with these advanced materials and have crafted courses to do so. Thisdescribes the motivation at the United States Naval Academy (USNA). For the same reasons asother industries, the U. S. Navy is
