Working professionals and engineers who may not be ableto attend traditional classes due to their full time jobs can use this web-based method tostudy online. An additional benefit is the design projects can be easily archived forviewing and use by students in future courses.IntroductionIt is well known that courses in design form an important part of the curriculum forstudents majoring in mechanical, aerospace and civil engineering. In design coursesstudents are taught to analyze problems using various equations and theories forcomputing forces, stress, strains and displacements 1.

Alternating Current (AC) converters are used asMotor Starters / Reversing for large AC induction motors. Starting a large motor that utilizes anAC Converter will eliminate the need to draw a large amount of current during the transient period,thereby insuring that starting a large motor will not disturb

Texts frequently show how to use spreadsheets containing single estimates of cash flows.This paper shows how to incorporate risk into such classroom examples quickly and easily byusing Microsoft's Excel. It illustrates extending the simple example in Table 1 into the spread-sheet shown in Table 3 first by explaining how to generate random cash flows. Then it describeshow to perform the simulation using a macro, compute statistics, and plot results, concludingwith a discussion of classroom use.

Theexcellence demonstrated by students in the classroom is a traditional measure of a candidate’spotential success in job assignments. Although grades are an important issue, new hires mayalso be aggressively recruited if they have key skills and experiences gained through activitiesoutside the classroom. Students can obtain valuable experience and maturity throughcooperative education, summer internships, extra-curricular projects (e.g., SAE Mini Baja, SAEFormula Car, etc.), senior design projects, and research efforts with faculty members.

The waferbatch is loaded into the appropriate tube operating at the appropriate temperature withappropriate gas flows for a prescribed amount of time for each individual diffusion/oxidationcycle. Considering a four-tube set-up with each tube running at 10 KW, the amount of theelectrical power wasted by such an operation is enormous.The goal of this project was to control a diffusion system in a programmable way via a PC sothat once the silicon wafers are loaded, a sequence of thermal processes could be commanded bythe computer

growth in theeconomy will likely increase MSW generation. The EPA projects increase in annual MSWgeneration at about the rate of 1.2% annually through the year 2000; 223 million tons of MSW isestimated for the year 2000. All of these materials are at least partially recoverable by recycling, but in 1995, only about21% were recycled, 15% were incinerated (a good portion with energy recovery), 3% composted,and the remaining 61 % were disposed of in landfills and by other means. To reduce the effortand expense required managing waste through recycling, incineration, composting, and disposalin landfills, it is essential to limit waste generation at the source as much as possible -- using thestrategy known as “source reduction”.BACKGROUND

Take theengineering system for instance, a modern engineering has entered an era of “socialengineering”. The challenge future engineers are going to confront with is mainly caused bynon-engineering factor. What a modern engineer is concerned with is far more than whether acertain project can be completed within certain time, and he also needs to know whether it iseconomical and what social result it will cause and consider the question of industrialpollution, environment, energy crisis.

Furthermore, utilizing a HDL to model thelearned μC or μP so as to shorten the learning curve of designing a custom processor or digitalperipheral circuits in the third phase. The benefit of including the use of a specific μC or μP in the secondphase is to let the students immerse in the delicate design process such as programming in assemblylanguage, so students can accomplish project development in the middle of the program.

For many years, these programshave included an engineering ethics course as part of the first-year general education curriculum.Typically, the course covers normative ethical theories, a code of ethics, and three famous casestudies: The Challenger Disaster, SDI: A Violation of Professional Responsibility, and GilbaneGold. Students are assessed based on their report-writing skills, a method that can disadvantageinternational students. Additionally, senior students are expected to evaluate the ethical issues intheir capstone project designs. However, the generic approach to teaching ethics often results inless student engagement and superficial learning [11]. Graduating students are expected topossess in-depth knowledge
