Elastomers can store and releasemore potential energy per unit mass (or volume) than steel and plastic guards. This translates togreater energy absorption which will help preserve the structural integrity of a rack upon impactthus protecting the general public in retail (big-box) stores and warehouses. The main objectiveof the project is for the student to experience the open-ended, iterative nature of the designprocess.

Recent work indicates that connection is integral for both women andmen in the evolving theory of leadership 45. There is also an approach to organizationalaesthetics that is based in the idea that connection 46 and sensing connection is part of oursocial/organizational instincts to be part of a collective of some sort 47.

The course is a required core curriculum course usually taken in the1st semester of the 2nd year. Although formal instruction is presented on the “design process”using a traditional design text, most of the class focuses on two class projects that requireconsiderable development of SDL skills to be completed successfully. Although, the topics forthe projects vary, the overall themes require a “paper” application of the design process to abiological science field and a “working model” that requires an integrated application ofelectrical/mechanical systems at the appropriate

Ethical subjectivism enables an open mind but fails to provide an adequateobjective standard of behavior. Approach number 3 in modern discussion represents the tension between therugged individualist versus the collectivist. As society continues to integrate,individuals increasingly call upon the courts to define constitutional rights in the face ofincreasing pressure to act collectively. A modern outgrowth of number 3 is the belief ofthe positivist school that the act of asserting makes the assertion true.

linguistically in engineering colleges, where engineering students are frequentlyreferred to as “engineers” even in the earliest days following matriculation (in contrast, forexample, students of history are never referred to as “historians”). This progression towards aprofessional identity is predicated on an understanding of what engineers do, and acceptingcharacteristics associated with this identification.Acceptance of professional identity has been shown to occur earlier for engineering students thanfor non-engineering students [Ngambeki et al. 2006]. This may occur because the curricularcharacteristics of most engineering programs may foster a sense of isolation from the rest of theacademy. These characteristics include the large number of courses

In Spring 2014, the PI began recruiting students, and in Fall 2014, the programopened its doors to its first cohort.

Assessments should thenfocus on the core skills to create short, but meaningful assessments. Core conceptualframeworks can provide this clarity and meaning to assessments.

limited because of credit reductionsin the curriculum and cost cut backs. Engineering laboratories are expensive from themachines needed to conduct the experiments to the staff time needed to train andsupport the activity. Historically, students often came to engineering from farm or otherbackgrounds where they developed skills working with their hands. Today thesebackgrounds are less common and it is proposed that it takes considerable more time toprepare students to conduct laboratory experiments than it did in earlier years. Toaddress this problem in a civil engineering materials course, we developed nine on-linetutorials and two on-line demonstrations. These tutorials consisted of media clips thatprovided step-by-step instructions on how to

System Integration: Electronic ControlsOne key aspect of additive manufacturing is to match the dispensing of the material with themovement of the stages. This required that the activation of the cake icing dispenser beautomated to allow for proper filling of the cavity. To accomplish this, the circuit shown in Fig. 6was designed and implemented. First, a multiplexer and transistor (TIP120 NPN in Fig. 6) wasused to extract an additional output from the LegoTM NXT controller to allow for the X, Y, and Zaxes as well as the cake icing dispenser to be synchronized. The circuit utilized the pulse widthmodulation PWM) of the LegoTM NXT controller to turn on an external voltage source thatpowered the cake icing dispenser. (Thetoggle switch (DPDT Switch
