Institute of Technologyrecently started to offer classes. According to Howard Rollins, US universities are heading nowtoward becoming global universities. Georgia Tech a primer engineering university, is offeringdegree programs in France, Singapore, Italy, South Africa and China, and has plans for India.More and more universities are competing internationally for resources, faculty and the beststudents. Since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, internationalization has moved high on theagenda at most universities, to prepare students for a globalized world, and to help facultymembers stay up-to-date in their disciplines.Overseas programs can help American universities raise their profile, build internationalrelationships, attract top research

In aircraft design, a process is executed such that all thedisciplinary studies of aeronautics are applied to produce together one single concept fora vehicle to be built followed by more detailed planning phases. The design is first of allachieved by creating a conceptual shape of the aircraft made by a convergence ofvariables that best fit the subjected mission requirements. The following seven steps givean overview of the conceptual design for an aircraft: 1) Analysis, 2) Integration, 3)Iteration, 4) Convergence, 5) Solution Space Screening, 6) Solution

during winter semester, with the actual travel being done in the two weeks directly after finals, I think interest would increase. Then it wouldn’t conflict with internships.  I would love to go and am planning on it next year if it is still around. I just need to make a little more money before I can go.  It seems like a great opportunity, but I chose not to participate mainly for financial reasons and timing issues. At this point in my education I need to be finishing up my classes and working in the field. I think it would be a great program to continue. I wish I had known about it at an earlier stage in my career.For this program to thrive, there are a number of clear obstacles that have to be

scale ofturbulence produced by the fan.The experimental coefficients for the rod within an annulus were 1.6 to 2.2 higher than theliterature correlation predictions. This finding likely results from the entering jet velocity fromthe hair dryer being 3.6 times the annulus velocity. This high velocity jet produces considerableturbulence as shear layers reduce the entering jet velocity to an annulus velocity which is only28% of the jet velocity.Although the effects of these experiments on student learning has not yet been quantified,anecdotally students remarked, after the completion of the exercise, that they really learned a lotfrom these assignments.

There is also somespeculation that since the students knew the grades for the Post-Test would not be dependent ontheir scores they chose to not attempt the table portion.Somewhat Known, Somewhat LearnedWhen planning the curriculum, this category needs to be reconsidered. These are problemswhich the students did somewhat well on the Pre-Test and only moderately better on the Post-Test. This indicates less time could be devoted to these concepts, or more time needs to bedevoted to these to get to a mastery level.

Specifically, the author advised to spend about one hour in preparation before a lessonconsisting of the text assignment with review of provided notes and ICE problem. The classlecture reviews and highlights some of the topics, practices them with ICEs and clarifies anyquestions or confusion from the text. The students should then spend their second hour after thelesson completing SPs and the homework problem for that lesson. This is an opportunity toconfirm the concept individually.

Peer assessments can be a valuable tool, but instructors must keep in mind that students will likelyhave very little experience working constructively in groups and they won’t know how to best employ thetool; instructors must provide considerable guidance. Students will probably lack sufficient social andleadership skills required for conflict management, so they will need help determining a plan for theirgroup interaction.

The course was well designed and roughly followed the course textin how it presented material related to the subject. The plans for class instruction werereinforced through homework assignments and then tested on exams. Two multi-part projects(labs) involved applying various concepts learned in the class in a design fashion.

This will allow the planned activity to be runin shorter time frames as students will be able to apprehend the ideas quickly or build their designsoff the provided sample structures.
