Even today, a large percentage of the deaf community has reading comprehensionand writing deficits and this has not changed much over the past 30 years.3When deaf or hard of hearing students arrive at college, they have high expectations ofthemselves for completing bachelor‟s and graduate degrees.4 The research led by Cuculick andKelly has shown through statistical analysis that only about 17% of incoming deaf students atNTID, 2001 and 2002 had the requisite reading and language skills to enter a baccalaureateprogram in their first year. Also, with the same data, it indicated that at NTID it takes longer forthe deaf students to complete Associate of Occupational Studies (AOS), Associated of AppliedScience (AAS

The theoretical transfer function model is G(s) = 1/ms2. The students are then able todirectly select the P I and D gains to match closed-loop requirements. Students are encouraged tophysically feel the control forces due to P, D, and I control. They should then be able to betterquantify the effects of each type of feedback.

Further the outreachprovider can vary in size from single high school students doing experiments with youngerstudents, to scientists and engineers (S&E’s) visiting classrooms, and to fortune 500 companiesdonating vast sums of money to build STEM infrastructure.1 Each of these has the potential toinfluence students and impact STEM careers.

We takeKuhn’s[12] view which holds that a paradigm provides an open-ended resource that presents aframework of concepts, results and procedures within which subsequent work is structured. Acharacteristic of paradigms is that they can “shift” with new knowledge or evidence. An exampleusing human flight experience can be represented as shown in Table 2 below. The inspirationmay have originated from nature, through birds’ ability to swiftly move in air. Legends andmythology from early Greek times

operator, applied in postfix notation. To obtain the transferfunction of this system, one assumes that the initial conditions of the input and output signals arezero and applies the Laplace transform to both sides of this differential equation to giveU(s)a(s) = Y (s)b(s), where U(s) and Y (s) are the Laplace transforms of u(t) and y(t),respectively, and s is a complex variable. This yields the transfer function Y (s)/U(s) = a(s)/b(s),which may be multiplied by a particular transformed input U(s) to find the correspondingtransformed output Y (s).Transfer functions are appealing in that they model dynamic systems as rational functions that canbe added, multiplied, and inverted to reduce networks of interconnected subsystems.

This capability is of central importance in the domestic nuclear power industry in the new century. PRA provides answers to four important questions: (i) What can go wrong? (ii) How likely is it? (iii) What are the consequences? and (iv) How do uncertainties impact the above answers? There are three levels of PRA analysis in the commercial nuclear power industry: Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3. Level 1 consists of an analysis of plant design and operation focused on the accident sequences that could lead to a core damaging event, their basic causes and their frequencies.

Another studystated, “first-generation college students include students whose parents may have some college,postsecondary certificate(s), or associate’s degree, but not a bachelor’s degree” and this definitionclosely aligns with the definition set forth by the Federal TRiO program (i.e., outreach and studentservice programs created to serve students from disadvantaged backgrounds) [9, p. 8].

On the one hand,engineering curricula are slow to change, but on the other hand the target keeps moving. In the1990’s there was a sense that engineering education was out of touch with the actual practice ofengineering. In response, design has become a more prominent part of most engineeringcurricula. In recent years, globalization and the commoditization of many engineering functionshas lent an air of uncertainty to the direction that engineering education should go.
