allow for greatersurface area coverage. This characteristic is very beneficial in the field of medicine.Another technique used to produce fibers from macromolecules is known as forced drawingunder heat. This technique has been used since the early 1900’s in the production of cottoncandy. It is a process by which macromolecules in a solution or melt are converted into fiberswith the help of mechanical force. In heating, molecules become mobile. The mobility of themolecules and the contact with air causes the macromolecules to become fibers.The process of turning macromolecules into fibers has many benefits. Medical uses, materialproduction, energy, and pleasurable foods are all areas that highlight the profound uses ofmacromolecules turned into

produced specimens. Once the usable specimens wereproduced, the students proceed to the testing station.The samples were tested on a Tinius Olsen H10KT tensile testing machine. They were extendedat 0.02cm/s and the test continued until the failure (fracture) of the specimen. The students notedthe elongation to break (strain) and ultimate strength (Mpa) of the specimens. Given that thethree groups had to begin at various stations to make the laboratory time effective, samples weregiven to the initial testing group to test. The group that began with testing moved to thesimulation station next.Once the three groups had completed the three different exercises at the three stations, they metand discussed their results and finding.

The key issue also lay not in a goal of providing orapproaching some sort of complete account of what is now taking place in international andglobal engineering education.

of bachelor’sdegrees has decreased from approximately 35% in the late 1960’s to approximately 31% since1990 [3]. It is our contention that in order to attract more students into these fields of study,there are a few fundamental precepts. First, the students that are already committed to thesefields need not be the focus of new recruitment efforts. They will enter these fields without anadditional sales pitch or incentive. Second, other students that do not currently possess aninterest in the technical fields can be interested in these areas [4]. Third, there are a significantnumber of students with the ability to succeed in college who are not performing well in highschool and are not being served by existing pre-collegiate programs. It is

of the “conceptual model”10 ofvarious mechanisms is much more important than the ability for kinematic analysis ofmechanism. If a designer has formed a “conceptual model” of a device, s/he can mentallysimulate its operation while looking at its sketch or picture10. For example, considering thedifferent configurations of the both four-bar linkages (crank-rockers) illustrated in Fig. 3, youcan distinguish between the rotation directions of the both output links c, because you havealready a “conceptual model” in mind. This “conceptual model” is critical for designer to searchand to select suitable mechanism in her/his task.
