Topics covered include 3D solid modelingdesign techniques, computer aided manufacturing and hands-on experiences in computer-numerically controlled (CNC) milling. EGR 101 is a three credit class consisting of a twohour lecture and a 3 hour laboratory session each week. During the semester studentswork on four design and manufacture projects. The manufacturing is accomplished usingbench top CNC milling

The scouts discussed the health effects of smoking and then performeda simple experiment to collect particulate deposit from cigarette smoke as well as its reactivity.Two types of cigarettes, one with a filter and one without a filter, were used. Analysis wasperformed on the chemical reaction and then on the smoke particulate deposit. The occurrence ofa fast color change was indicative of a chemical reaction when smoke was contacted with a non-hazardous laboratory chemical solution. The depository effect of the smoke was quantified. Thechemical reaction observation and quantification of the smoke particulates based on theirdeposition-capacity on the human lung was qualitatively

This is apparent in the numbers of students who volunteer to appear onevenings or Saturday afternoons in the schools’ laboratories to finish their experimental workand perhaps share pizza following.Like most agents of change, the magnet school prompted some resistance. However, thecommunity is beginning to recognize and hail the school’s benefits and contributions. The firstsenior class will graduate in the spring of 2003.
