. After the system properties are set correctly, thesimulation is run and the links are set into motion. The system can then be analyzed using thecharting functions available in Working Model. The top graph shows the angle of rotation of linkAB with respect to time and the bottom graph displays the velocity of point C with respect totime. When link AB is exactly vertical (360° in this simulation) the velocity of point B is 5 ft/s inthe negative i-direction. The students can then look on the velocity chart to determine thevelocity of point C at the instant in time that AB is exactly vertical. This laboratory gave thestudents an interesting example of how to solve a real world problem using simple motionsoftware. The students had to develop a

The INSPIRE participants weremore likely to agree that typical engineers had people, writing and verbal skills. While theirresponses on the stereotypical characteristics of engineers showed significant differences,there were no significant differences in how the teachers in the two studies viewed theimportance and characteristics of engineering.

To support the chimney from lateralloads, guide wires were also used. Calculations were established to find the size of cablingneeded to support the structure based on estimated weight and average wind. Safetyconsiderations were double checked with the campus Safety Office prior to and duringconstruction.Turbine Design:The only moving parts of the Solar Chimney are the turbine assembly and power generationunit. In the prototype chimney an average air velocity of approximately 2 m/s was created in thechimney. The low wind velocity complicated the turbine

is a relatively new approach inAmerican universities, generally observed since the late 1980’s, though in other parts of theworld such as Europe, the first engineering degree has always required a minimum of five yearsof study and been considered equivalent to the MS degree.These BS/MS programs vary in their details at different academic institutions. For the most part,they offer the qualified student: 1) the possibility to earn their BS and MS degrees in less time than it would take to pursue both degrees separately, and 2) the opportunity to deepen and diversify their technical and professional skills, which will help make them more competitive and marketable in the global marketplace.As BS/MS programs grew more popular

Thenew employee then repeats this exercise with a smaller-sized metal paper clip and records theobservations and differences between the two sizes. What is demonstrated here is elasticdeformation – a type of deformation in which the object returns to its original shape after theforces have been removed. This type of deformation is unique in the realm of mechanicalbehavior because all materials undergo elastic deformation. The new employee is also asked inthe new-hire document to address the following specific questions related to elastic deformationin their memorandum to
