Materialsaffect every aspect of a construction project. 1 However, smaller companies have little to nomaterial procurement and management systems. As a result these companies incur additional butavoidable costs. Some of these costs are due to; a)large delivery times for materials, b) excessordering of material

Some of the relatively common elements ofinnovative core curricula that appeared in one or more of CET’s proposals were: (a) a common,interdisciplinary Introduction to Engineering course; (b) a selection of discipline-specificIntroduction to Engineering courses offered by the various engineering departments; and (c)integration of engineering applications into core mathematics and science courses

The model, which examines the essential components in building teams and determiningwhether or not teams are effective, starts with the assessment of the individual regarding theirunderstanding of teams and their attitude towards teamwork. This assessment begins prior tostarting the task and prior to any contact with fellow team members. The next step is thecollective assessment of the team with regards to the teams’ attitudes about teaming and the useof teams and the teams’ ability to manage the seven

Schedules for On Campus StudentsFirefighters are faced with a unique challenge as far as class attendance goes. Their schedulestend to be different from almost any other profession. The standard shift for a firefighter istwenty-four hours on duty and forty-eight hours off duty. The majority of departments work thisschedule or some variant of this schedule. Also, most departments work with three shifts, usuallycalled A, B, and C, shift, respectively. In each FSET class there would be members from eachshift. This presents a problem because there is never a specific night when all firefighters couldbe there. For example if Shift A works Monday, the next Monday B Shift works, then the nextweek C Shift works Monday. So in a 16-week semester, each shift

Mentors are asked to: a)prepare a one page summary of the project including expected outcomes; b) be prepared to spendup to one hour per week during the semester as the project’s technical advisor; c) host onemeeting of the design team at the mentor’s place of work; d) attend one progress report meetingat the university; e) critique the final product.

Errors in empirical models used for tuning occur (see Figure 4)¨ due to the linearized approximation. ¨ due to noise in the data used in empirical methods. ¨ due to changes in plant operation, e.g. production rate. ¨ due to round off errors in calculations.Question 3 raises the issue of why modelling errors occur. This is an important topic thatis often resisted by students who want to believe that all models are very accurate; thisbelief might result from teaching methods in previous courses. We see that severalanswers can be correct, and in a few cases, none of the proposed answers is correct. Thiskeeps the students alert

Todevelop thicknesses greater than 125 mm, one or two additional layers of board are required.The program allows for a maximum of five layers of insulation board. Three options areprovided for the type of insulation. Type A insulation costs 5 cents per square meter of area foreach millimeter of thickness and has a thermal conductivity of 0.04 W/(m K). Type B
