Techniques in Control SystemsAbstract:The transient response analysis of a control system analyzes the control system response to asudden input such as the initial deflection of a structure due to an impact load and the subsequentvibration of the structure due to the initial impact load. The frequency response of a system isdefined as the steady-state response of a system to a sinusoidal input. The responsecharacteristics of the system resulting from different frequencies are a necessary designcomponent for loading conditions that are cyclic in nature. An example of a sinusoidal input isthe influence of a jet engine which is a rotating equipment rotating at a certain frequency duringits steady state operation on the aircraft wing. This steady state

hope that it could assist other engineering programs seeking accreditation or re-accreditation. INTRODUCTION All seven engineering programs at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville went through the ABET accreditation process recently. This paper summarizes observations and reflections of an engineering educator about this experience. The author has been familiar with the process as a result of six engineering accreditation visits in his academic career since 1982. The engineering accreditation process has eight criteria (Criteria for Accrediting Engineering Programs, 2006). It would be a mistake to think that a program deemed good or even strong in the collective and subjective opinion of the program faculty should therefore be accreditable

Timing of when these skills are developed, while not a requirement for success,is highly correlated with success in engineering programs.At Texas Tech University, Calculus III is a required course for all programs in theCollege of Engineering except for degrees in the Engineering Technology Department.Success of a “C” or better grade in Calculus III is usually associated

Formation of Required Typeness InSb By Crystal Ion Slicing Damien Johnson and Pradeep Bhattacharya Electrical Engineering Department Southern University Abstract A usual p-n junction has a p-type and n-type monolithic structure. For example,n-type Indium Antimonide (InSb) can carry currents in the form of electrons with anegative charge and a p-type Indium Antimonide can carry currents in the form ofelectrons with a positive charge. During this process, a pn junction is formed, causingelectrons to diffuse into the p-layer and holes to diffuse into the p-layer. A depletionregion is formed when

PC have a frequency bandgap where light is forbidden to propagate. Thisbandgap is strongly tied to the microstructure of the photonic crystal.
