PBL is not the only method to enhance students’learning. Indeed, educators have experimented with novel approaches (mostly computer-based)to try to do just that5,6,7,8. However, as mentioned above, PBL is generally considered a morerigorous approach that is proven to enforce concept learning in students. In mechanics courses,this is usually done by assigning design project(s) to groups of students9,10. Such design projectsare by definition open-ended and have no unique answer or

In many situations the actual calculations of the probability offailure and severity of failure may be rather difficult.It is possible to plot the severity of failure versus the probability of failure.

In sum, the current popularity of the guitar appears due to the follow features: o Acoustic versions have been adapted by composers of virtually every type of music and culture o Electric types have found popularity in both media (radio, TV) as well as large concert settings. Its tenor s an instrument of “revolution” has kept it popular with youth today, just as it was at one point popular with the traveling gypsies of a much earlier era. The guitar, and the loom of the previous example, are both devices which date inancestry back to antiquity, well before the AD era.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was founded with the expresspurpose of protecting human health and to safeguard the natural environment8. However, as theEPA was soon to realize, the environmental damage of nearly two centuries would be hard tomanage.The American environmentalism movement has been plagued by ebbs and flows, withmomentum for change predominately in the 60-70’s and 90-00’s9,10. Like all social reform, theseefforts have been subject to popular support and political action. Modern environmentalism hasbegun to embrace the concepts of green and sustainable development.

potential for load egress during transit. One of the major problems associated withwaste collection process, especially the light weight material collected for recycling, is that in thelow speed transit segment of the operation, in which the vehicle moves around residential andbusiness neighborhoods collecting the material with the collection bin uncovered, theaerodynamic forces cause the material to become airborne and leave the bin littering the streets.This has a negative impact on several factors associated with the operation not the least of whichis public discontent. The project reported here undertakes to address this problem in anexperimental investigation using a low speed wind tunnel and appropriately scaled model(s).Flow variables such

Early engineering programs range from start dates of the 1960’s in Saudi Arabia tothe mid 1980’s in Oman. The need for quality programs is especially relevant to the aviation andaerospace industries. To meet this need, a new locally owned and based new university hasbegun operations in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. This new 4-year baccalaureate and master’sdegree institution emphasizes aviation and aerospace in its degree offerings. This institution waslicensed and accredited by the UAE Commission for Academic Accreditation, and beganoperations in 2007. Programs being

The central focus of this proposal is to regionally increase thenumber of globally competent graduates produced in the region at both two-year and four-yearlevels in the fields of electronics and/or computer engineering technology. The electronic andcomputer engineering technology (ECET) program at Kansas State University at Salina (KSU-S)will establish a collaborative relationship with community college partners to create educationalopportunities responsive to
