This provides a minimum of 1600 hours of internship, every year, for students in the COT, where they are working, learning, and helping industry folks with their daily tasks.

These degree programsare dependent on regional industries for both curricula input–to make sure the students arelearning the leading-edge technology that

Until Benoit Mandelbrot3,Gaston Julia11 and Pierre Fatou12 discovered self-similar structures in iterative mappings, suchstructures had gone largely unnoticed. Beginning in the late 1910's and into the 1920's, Julia11and Fatou12 led the study of these self-similar structures. At that time, there were no computersto produce the images that we see today. Consequently, interest in fractals was restricted to thosevery few individuals who could in some sense understand the mathematics behind the picturesthat are drawn today.Although Mandelbrot3 invented the word fractal, many of the objects featured in The FractalGeometry of Nature had been previously

In particular, the losses associated with the diffuser section become very apparent, incontrast with the inlet convergent section. Pressure recovery in the diffuser section is modeled ina very simple manner and compared directly with wind tunnel measurements.

tried toproduce a FC that could convert coal or carbon to electricity directly. These attempts failedbecause not enough was known about materials or electricity. In 1932, Francis Bacon developedthe first successful fuel cell. He used hydrogen, oxygen, an alkaline electrolyte, and nickelelectrodes. In 1952, Bacon and a co-worker produced a 5-kW fuel cell system. The large boost inFC technology comes from NASA. In the late 1950’s NASA needed a compact way to generateelectricity for space missions. Nuclear was too dangerous, batteries too heavy, and solar panelstoo cumbersome. The answer was fuel cells. NASA went on to fund over 200 research contractsfor fuel cell technology. Both the alkaline and polymer electrolyte fuel cells have

Finite element analysis proceduresevolved gradually from the work of many people in the fields of engineering, physics, andapplied mathematics. The use of finite element analysis (FEA) become widespread in the 1960’sand 70’s, initially in the automotive and the aerospace industries. During that period of time,expensive mainframe computers were required to run the finite element analysis, and finiteelement models typically required days to create. The task of interpreting results were also verydifficult. Customized software were
