A proposal that iswell written, clear, and easy for the reviewer to read and understand generally has a better chance of beingfunded than one that is poorly written. Since many engineering educators have little background in writing, this paper gives guidelines forcreating a strong proposal to prospective authors. General appearance of the proposal, including graphs,figures, and charts, is an important part of writing a successful grant. Common errors in writing are included,and basic rules for most frequently misused grammar are given with a discussion of words, sentence structure,and paragraph organization. General

Currently these models tend to be created through theuse of sophisticated 3D software to acquire the accuracy that is demanded inengineering computations. Similarly, computer generated 3D models are alsooften used to study architectural

My students haveindicated to me that they appreciate my concern regarding their learning and understanding of thephysics concepts. I feel that because I take the time to provide my students with writtenfeedback, they take the activity very seriously and most turn in rather high quality work.Although not required, I have had several students who take the time to respond to the feedbackthat I have provided them with. Other students ask to resubmit their responses, if their thinkingwas particularly flawed where the physics is concerned. It is important to keep in mind that thesestudents are not penalized for incorrect use of physics, so the fact that some

LensAbstract:Physics generally falls under engineering programs yet is required for a multitude of differentmajors spanning many departments and disciplines including medicine. When people think aboutthe medical field, their mind immediately goes to classes such as biology, chemistry, anatomyand physiology. However, when looking at the prerequisite courses for medical school or testedMCAT content, there seems to be one subject that doesn’t fit in with the rest: physics. For years,pre-health students have joked that physics is much less applicable to their future careers than theother courses. The goal of this research paper is to tackle the general student assumption thatunderstanding physics will not help them in their respective fields by providing real

reported last year. An increase ininformation security events within the academia may lead to federal and state legislative efforts thatwould ultimately add upon the requirements in handling private information within the academic world.Unlike other entities, academic institutions however have to strike a delicate balance between the freecirculation of ideas and the need for protection of personal information. With that in mind we havepursued to investigate two different aspects of the computers security within the academic realm. In thefirst phase, in the next section we are providing a statistical overview of the academic world securityincidents and reaction to them.

of their project proposal, each student was required to do a world wide web search to find similar projects. In particular, students developing software were required to search some large shareware sites, including www.gamelan.com, and www.jumbo.com. They also did keyword searches using search engines such as Alta Vista. Having found similar projects, the students then needed to make the case that their project was differentiated from them, say by offering enhancements. Students also provided links to the similar projects from their own project pages.3) Development of web tools. Several student projects involved developing Internet tools including: a. A children’s web browser. A two-person team did some
classrooms. Highly interactiveclassrooms are sometimes very desirable, for example in a design-based engineering classroomwhere ideas and technologies are discovered, tested and refined. In fact, Salomon (1993) andSchrage (1990) explicate that interactive or cooperative communities provide a richerenvironment in which to share and develop ideas and engage in learning, than do more didacticinstructional environments. When members of a classroom possess and practice all three ofHymes constructs, cooperative learning communities can exist and thrive.The task of becoming an asynchronous studentProblems.

for interested students.With this in mind, students must be convinced of three things: 1) that the “gospel” of Fs ≥ 2fmax (i.e.,sampling at least twice the highest signal frequency) that they learned regarding lowpass sampling is only aspecial case, 2) that for bandpass signals the selection of sampling frequency is more complicated, and that3) aliasing is not always a bad thing. By choosing Fs properly, aliasing places the signal spectrum wherewe want it, yet avoids the overlapping of spectral replicas that would render the signal useless.7, 8A bandpass signal is one where the energy is constrained to lie only between a lower frequency of fL andan upper frequency of fU . Thus the bandwidth of this signal is B = fU − fL . One useful form of
