slightly better for students using EDIC S than for those using the-equivalent text. (The two principalpenalties to EDICS were that the tests excluded anything that involved animations or video, because these couldnot be treated in the text; and that the tests were based on a small part of EDICS and an equivalent smallnumber of pages of text. Computer systems have a large advantage over text when dealing with a large mass ofinformatio~ as is typical of design problems). EDICS could be considered to have won the battle but, becauseof technological limitations, to have lost the war. The development of low-cost CD-ROMs and effective computer-fed projectors has enabled multimediato be used with relative ease by instructors in computer-equipped

In the 1980’s and early 90’s we were using the Zilog Z-80 and the Intel 8088 to teach microprocessorconcepts.

Committee and the conclusions must not be ignored by academicleaders and employers. Griffiths argues, Ph.D. training must change to prepare students for jobs they are likely to find. The U. S. system of graduate education in science and engineering is one of the nation’s great strengths. It has served as an international model --- -. But changes in the way science and engineering are conducted and funded are exerting stress on the traditional system of graduate education. John A.

However, this industrial perspective is in good agreement with the COSEPUP report. Changeis justified

where they react and then aredesorbed. In some cases the properties of surface facilitate the reaction. Such a system is calledheterogeneous catalysis. One such reaction is the combination of oxygen and hydrogen to formwater. This mixture when ignited by a spark or flame will ignite and explode with violence.Normally, no reaction occurs at room temperature. However the presence of a platinum substratewill serve to catalyze the reaction. In the mid-1 820’s, Dobereiner passed hydrogen through aplatinum gauze. The hydrogen catalyzed by the platinum combines with oxygen from the air. Themixture ignites and then begins to burn. Dobereiner developed a very successful commercialproduct - fire lighter - based on this principle. The instrument was

. 2Today, the world recognizes the importance of technology transfer (T ). The United States pushes hard totransfer technology to end users. Technology transfer refers to all the activities leading to the adoption, adapta-tion, or demonstration of a new product or procedure by any group of users. Due to political considerations, itis sometimes diflicult to transfer technology to some parts of the world where relations are not friendly with theUnited States. In general, the United States willingly shares certain technologies with other countries. Mostoften the problem is a lack of resources in other countries to understand a technology and implement it.

Topmanagement must take the leading role and be willing to accept the responsibility of the company’s failure or 7success. Japanese managers have adopted the philosophy of TQM as the nationally-acclaimed way of doing 1business. In the U.

Is the body’s size of consequence? Make a clear distinction between rotation and curvilinear motion.) • Determine if the problem requires a kinematic or kinetic solution or both.

Comparison with Wind-Generated WavesTsunamis are orders of magnitude greater than wind-generated waves in terms of the lateralspeed, the wave period and the size of the wave. Wind-generated waves are the transfer ofenergy across the ocean. The energy is usually provided by the wind. The water particlesthemselves are not making any voyage across ocean. Instead, the particles are traveling in smallcircles as the wave passes. This can be seen in the following diagram [4]: Figure 1 Shows the differences between the landfall of tsunami and wind waves
