in Engineering Service-LearningAbstractAttracting and retaining women in engineering is critical in the USA today. While women arecoming to college in overrepresented numbers, they are not represented equally to men inengineering majors. Though a university can only have limited impact on the attrition of womenin the engineering workforce, we can (and must!) work to improve recruitment and retention andto graduate women with adequate preparation for an engineering career. An increasing numberof engineering programs are integrating service-learning (S-L) into their curricula.For the past eight years of one S-L program, students in a college of engineering have beenwidely surveyed at the beginning of their studies and at the end of each

Theeffectiveness of any service, in particular the effort of developing a new IS infrastructure,depends on the effectiveness of interaction between the IS professionals (servers) and the users(clients). The interaction, on the other hand, is based on each player’s perception of their ownroles and skills needed to make the IS project a success, as well as on mutual perception eachplayer has of each other’s roles and skills.This paper examines the concepts leading to modeling of the dynamics of working relationshipbetween clients and servers in the IS industry.In what follows, the providers (IS experts, system analysts, IT professionals) will be referred toas servers, S, whereas those who are served (users, clients, IT/IS customers

for Engineering Education, 2016 Challenges and Benefits of Introducing a Science and Engineering Fair in High-Needs Schools (Work in Progress) Science and Engineering (S&E) Fairs are a valuable educational activity that are believedto increase students’ engagement and learning in science and engineering by emphasizingcreativity and inquiry-focused learning.1,2 However, S&E Fairs put demands on teachers,parents, and students for time and resources.3,4 Organizing such an event is especially demandingin the first few years of implementation. As a result, poor and low-achieving schools are lesslikely to implement such a program for their students, despite the potential benefits 1,3,4. Ourstudy is based on data

Zero Transition: A transition is defined as a zero transition for a specific data input of a flip- flop if it is necessary to apply a logical 0 to that input to see the flip- flop go through this transition.For example, to see an RS flip- flop go through α transition, 0 to 1, it is necessary to applya logical 1 to the S input and a logical 0 to the R input. Therefore, the α transition isconsidered an essential transition for the S input and a zero transition for the R input.The excitation equation of a data input of a flip- flop consists of two parts separated by a“+” sign. The first part represents a

engineerAbstractIn the fall of 2004 a college with five undergraduate academic programs decided to integrateservice-learning (S-L) projects into required engineering courses throughout the curriculum sothat students would be exposed to S-L in at least one course in each of eight semesters. Theultimate goal is to graduate better engineers and better citizens. Four of the degree programshave achieved on average one course each semester, with an actual coverage of 103 out of 128semester courses, or 80% coverage over the four years. Of the 32 required courses in theacademic year that had an average of 753 students each semester doing S-L projects related tothe subject matter of the course, 19 of the courses (60%) were considered engineering science,that is, not

Courses with service-learning projects have beenintegrated into existing required courses in engineering over the past six years in fivedepartments at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. Entering engineering students have beensampled every fall with a “pre” survey, and then all students are surveyed “post” at the end of thespring semester. Evidence continues to mount of the significant difference in responses inattitudes toward community service and S-L in engineering with women especially and to alesser extent other minorities in engineering.

He finallydetermined that fan with eleven blades had the highest efficiency at air velocity of 22 m/s. Also,Thumbe et al. [3] conducted an analysis of axial fan having six blades. Jain and Deshpande analyzedthe airflow distribution from a radial axial flow fan and considered 1680 rpm and 25.26 kg/s as theinput conditions for their analysis. The static pressure contour plots were almost similar to this study.In this present study, analysis of five and seven blade axial fan was performed for RS

This optimization is heavily based upon the premise that students haveresponded to the best of their ability using their own work.When this premise is found to fail, a common response by the instructor is to reduce the courseweight of the component(s) where academic integrity may be questioned (e.g. computerprogramming laboratories). While this appears to limit the gains of the dishonest student, it willalso demotivate the honest students by: 1) Placing less emphasis on core aspects of the course building blocks, and 2) Continuing to reward questionable methods with high marks.In the effort to limit the
