His computational work has shortened the time lag from laboratory- to commercial-scale for fluid/particle and fluidized bed systems. He currently serves on the editorial board of the Powder Technology Journal. He has received several AIChE awards includ- ing the Donald Q. Kern Award in Heat Transfer and Energy Conversion, the Fluor Daniel Lectureship in Fluidization and Fluid/Particle Systems, the Ernest W. Thiele Award, and the Fluidization Process Recognition Award.

Another area of improvement in the future is to revise the Quiz module structure. Currently, the Quiz module is implemented using static values for Q&A, so questions must be manually entered. In the future, we intend to make this module more interactive such that questions and answers can randomly be selected from an existing file created by the user. We also intend to attach a time stamp and User ID to each quiz to improve the testing environment.5. As of now, we have not performed any traffic monitoring to evaluate the traffic volume passing through the IVLP web server. It is our intention to examine

The rate of heat transfer is proportional to the exposed surfacearea (q=hAΔT), and skin contains a microcapillary network that substantially increasesthe exposed surface area for enhanced heat transfer. In this hands-on laboratory activity,students create artificial skin by encapsulating cotton candy in an elastomer. The cottoncandy is then dissolved away, leaving a networked path mimicking a microcapillarynetwork in skin.3.2 MaterialsThe following materials are required for this activity: a cotton candy machine (e.g. aNostalgia Electrics Cotton Candy maker, ~$50) modified with a rotational potentiometerplaced in series with the heating and rotational elements to vary the output temperatureand speeds; Jolly RanchersTM

and Braun (2010) observed that many dyslexicstudents innately approach problems from a three-dimensional perspective2. So when a dyslexicstudent is presented with an unfamiliar object, he may have a natural ability and predisposition toexamine the object from various angles and perspectives in his mind, without ever movinghimself or the object. The ability to reason three-dimensionally may lead a dyslexic student to beable to view the opposite side of an object in his mind, based on observations concerning thefront of the object and his previous knowledge. This special reasoning skill is extremely usefulin engineering. Language, however, is two-dimensional; the tendency to reason in threedimensions can lead a “b” to look like a “d”, “p” or “q
