A panel of outside design professionals’ use a rubric similar to the oneshown in Attachment B) to assess the outcomes that the students are expected to demonstratethroughout the semester. The panel of outside design professionals provides a perspective fromthe practical design side in addition to the academic perspective provided by the courseinstructors. This assessment information is reviewed by the ET faculty and shared with thestudents and members of the outside panel of design professional and the Industrial AdvisoryBoards of each program for
the solution, the age of the catalyst, thepreparation of the catalyst, and type of catalyst. Current data indicates that the activationenergies of Ru-B and CoB catalysts (34.14 kJ/mol and 25.71 kJ/mol respectively) aresignificantly lower than other literature suggests. In tests to determine the reusability of the Ru-B catalyst, it was determined that the catalyst action decreases quickly, dropping from a rate of.45 ml/s to .09 ml/s in about 6 hours.4.

Though the results are somewhat expected, direct comparison across divisions remindus that even across ASEE membership, there is broad range of definitions of engineeringeducation.

science requirements for admission to medical school, with a particular emphasis on our internal biology curriculum. 119 domestic medical schools were surveyed. Overall, 90% of responding medical schools responded favorably to our BME undergraduate biology curriculum. Data from MCAT scores and admissions rates support the conclusion that our program of study, and by implication that of many other BME programs, meets the requirements for medical school admissions without compromising the rigor of the engineering curriculum or requiring additional coursework beyond organic chemistry. Advanced physiology and cell biology lectures and labs are of key importance.IntroductionAcademic advising for
