homework assignment. The following question was asked on the graded in-class project in week 10. It has been suggested that erosion yield can be predicted from polymer density using an equation of the form: (erosion yield) = a + b × (density) + c × (density)2 Find values for the constants a, b, and c. Evaluate the quality of this model. Most (> 90 %) of students identified least squares multiple linear regression as an appropriatetechnique, and thus correctly determined the values of a, b, and c from the data given. However,just under 50 % of the students effectively used at least two of the four recommended techniquesto evaluate model quality.Fundamentals of statistical process analysis and control were introduced midway through
with insight into their own strengths and weaknesses, theexercise provides students with the opportunity to practice “giving” and “receiving” feedback.(See Appendix A, Part B and C)End-of-term self and team assessments are submitted to the professor. In addition to theassessments, each team member is required to distribute “bonus cheques” to each of the otherteam members. (See Appendix A) A team of six members distributes $3300 among the otherteam members. A team of five members works with $2700, a team of four with $2200, and ateam of three with $1700. Each student must provide a detailed explanation/justification for thebonuses that are assigned. The team contribution mark obtained by each student is based on thetotal value of the “bonus

In the end, I decided on Mallard™ unilaterally.1-b. I was frustrated by the political struggle over who would control my server. This struggledelayed bringing my server on-line until about week 6 of the fall 1997 semester.1-c.

Some good advice comes from the article “Design of Balsa WoodGliders: A lesson in the engineering process”3 and helps students understand and make the mostof the project they are required to complete. For example the article discusses qualitativeconstruction techniques as well as testing methods and modifications that can be made once theaircraft is flown. Additionally, because the gliders are launched by hand there is something to besaid for proper throwing technique. The gliders are designed to fly at speeds ranging fromapproximately 15-20 fps.

Specifications included that the reportshould be a comprehensive description of the project, with detailed calculations supporting allquantitative results. Presentations by contrast would be no more than 10 minutes long and wouldfocus on the team’s most convincing evidence that the proposed product was feasible, had amarket and was worth funding for further development. Thus, the project provided a realisticexample of the roles of these two different forms of communication. The entrepreneurial projectalso offered an advantage over many previous SEC II design projects in that each presentationcovered a unique

Communication with different audiences. a) Percent of total respondents indicating that theycommunicated with identified audiences and b) the frequency with which positive respondents (those who spoke withspecific audiences) communicated with these audiences.Students communicated most with engineers (in discipline (80%), out of discipline (72%)), non-engineers (with technical degree (74%), without technical degree (59%)), managers in engineering(69%) and external employees (contractors, suppliers, etc.) (57%). Of these, students had mostfrequent interactions with in-discipline engineers, with nearly 90% of students indicating veryfrequent (2-3 times per day) or frequent (1-2 times per day) interactions.

Further, a higher proportion of students with A grades never make use of thepolicy at all. The data also reveals differences between class levels: in our junior-level course, anaverage of 0.5 slight extensions per student have been granted, versus on average 1.0 extensionsper student among the sophomores and 3.0 extensions per student among the first-years.BackgroundThe University of Delaware is a medium-sized public institution whose chemical engineeringprogram graduates on average 80 undergraduates per year.

During the first 80C552 external bus cycle, the IS and IRD control lines of the IDMA port are asserted and the MS byte of the data is read and the LS byte is written to latch B. For the second bus cycle, the output enable of latch B is asserted and the LS byte of the data is read. Glue logic for the interface is programmed into a GAL16V8 PLD to reduce chip count.V.
