For example, both may be strongly influenced by programsize, so that a high-quality program that deliberately kept its enrollment low would grant lownumbers of Ph.D.’s and be less familiar to recruiters. U.S. News and similar college ratings are additive. Colleges are ranked according to allthe factors used (inputs, output, resources, reputation, and even value-added measures). The finalrankings reflect weighted averages of the individual rankings for the factors. In a value-addedmodel, by contrast, high inputs raise expectations for outputs. In other words, a college withinputs associated with high outputs has a higher hurdle to overcome. To

NC machines have earned a certain level ofreputation in the manufacturing arena through their capabilities including the quality of the work.The question has now been formed to read ‘Is there a novel application of these machines thatcould make them more valuable and pave a way for an entrepreneurial opportunity’. Thestudents were given a lecture and notes on effectual thinking. They were given an additionalopportunity to produce a component and observe the capabilities of the machines. They werethen requested to identify the special feature(s) and design a product that would exploit thisfeature in its manufacturing process. They

Future researchwill include comparing international and domestic students’ experiences from various cohorts intheir first, second, and third years of engineering. Additionally, we will be able to track studentsfrom one cohort from their first to their third year, in order to determine if and how internationaland domestic students’ perceptions change over time.

software was extensively used and new ideascame up. The students then realized that the software could have been used earlier as a basis forfinding new ideas as well.3.2 Selection of conceptsPotential use of the softwareAfter a number of concepts have been created, a screening and ranking process begins, in orderto determine which concept(s) to develop further. Even at an early stage, material cost orproperties like fracture toughness or optical transparency can guide the consideration ofconcepts. It is therefore a huge advantage to have a concise, coherent and reliable source of datacompiled in the software. A good database should provide access to properties of all materialfamilies; polymers, elastomers, glasses, ceramics, metals and hybrids
required for the water source (a 12” wide weir capable of producinga 20” head and a variable flow rate of up to 12 gal/s) greatly limited the number of designs thatthe mechanical engineering students could complete.As a result, the team of faculty and staff decided that the mechanical turbine design would berequired to be a Kaplan turbine. The team implemented a drive train to transfer / transform theenergy from the turbine to a rotor based on the chain and sprocket drive of a ten-speed bike. Inthe process, the mechanical specification for the turbine shaft was also defined. The properties ofthe transmission system became constraints for the design project that were provided to both thegenerator and turbine design groups. This modification

experiment’s main goal is to analyzereal ECG signals – either acquired by the ADS1298ECG, or by the analog ECG amplifier builtin Experiment #2.If using the ECG amplifier built in Experiment #2, that amplifier’s output can be directlyconnected to the OMAP’s analog input, which will allow it to be further sampled and displayedby winDSK8’s oscilloscope function. The ECG signal acquired by ADS1298ECG follows asimilar path, but now the signal is sampled before it is connected to the OMAP L-138baseboard. Regardless the signal acquisition tool used, both techniques allow the signal to bedisplayed on a computer screen, which will then permit the students to observe the normal sinusrhythm in the ECG waveform and the naturally varying heart rate.In addition, we
also necessaryto adequately populate the database.The development team also learned about the availability of assessment instruments for use inthe engineering education community. As shown in Tables A1-A6, information could be locatedfor several attitudinal measures. Many instruments were also easily identified for assessingknowledge, behaviors, and professional skills. Fewer instruments were located for assessing thelearning environment or using institutional data to measure various outcomes. One trend thatoccurred in the early 1990’s and 2000’s was the development of numerous concept inventoriesintended to improve classroom teaching and learning. During this time, the need for valid andreliable measures, and the understanding of reliability

About two-thirds of the on-campus students had completed at least one semester ofundergraduate engineering thermodynamics. The remainder, including most of the onlinestudents, had studied thermodynamics in physics but not engineering. For many of the master ofengineering students, they had not studied thermodynamics for several years and several had notdone well in their undergraduate course(s).The make-up of the student body in the course created an opportunity for traditional graduatestudents who started their graduate level studies directly upon completion of their
