Teaching Fluid Mechanics Using Mathcad

Students are taught that the laws of the conservation of mass and the conservation of momentum are fundamental in fluid mechanics analysis and design.These fundamental principles apply whether the flow is spatially varied or constant, temporally unsteady or steady, and closed conduit or open channel.Thus, the application of these basic principles to such a wide possibility of fluid flow problems presents the student with quite a bit of tasks to accomplish in his/her learning process.In the application of one or both of the basic principles, the student is faced with the need to learn and apply, at times, tedious and timeconsuming solution algorithms.As a result, both the teacher and the student are presented with auxiliary tasks, which many times, interrupt and hamper the teaching and learning process.Specifically, these auxiliary tasks include solution algorithms which use: iterative procedures; tedious numerical solutions; diagrams, charts, and nomographs; and other indirect and implicit solution procedures.The final result is that there is not much time left to focus on the modeling of the problem, formulation of the solution, interpretation of the results, changing the assumptions, and going back to modeling of the problem, etc., and thus be able to conduct a sensitivity analysis (or an experimental procedure) in order to find the optimum solution.The use of the mathematical software Mathcad to teach fluid mechanics has proven to greatly reduce the drudgery in solving fluid flow problems.As an illustration of this learning enhancement, Mathcad is used to model the occurrence of critical flow at a change of slope in an open channel flow situation.The Mathcad software performs efficient iterative and numerical solution procedures and direct solutions.The use of Mathcad has been made a requirement for all computational procedures
Software Engineering Design: A Laboratory In Building Team Management Skills

Abstract NOTE: The first page of text has been automatically extracted and included below in lieu of an abstract Software Engineering Design: A Laboratory in Building Team Management Skills Susan E. Conry and Douglas J. MacIntosh Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Clarkson University Potsdam, NY 13699-5720 Introduction “Engineering is problem recognition, formulation, and solution. In the next 20 years, engineers and engineering students will be required to use new tools and apply ever- increasing knowledge in expanding engineering disciplines, all while considering societal repercussions and constraints within a complex landscape of old and new ideas. They will be working with diverse teams of engineers and nonengineers to formulate solutions to yet unknown problems. They will increasingly need to address large-scale systems problems.” 1 Engineering in the 21st century requires teamwork. The problems are large and open ended, requiring expertise across a range of disciplines. Because solving these problems demands competent engineers, engineering education has been focused on educating the individual – enabling each student to acquire the fundamental knowledge and skills associated with his or her chosen discipline of study. Students are evaluated using metrics that assess the knowledge and skills they have acquired as individuals. Yet engineering students must learn the skills they need to work effectively on teams. Software engineering design provides an ideal framework for teaching students the skill set that they need to function well on interdisciplinary teams. The problems involved are multifaceted and large. Solving them requires contributions from groups with differing functional responsibilities, yet the product cannot be delivered in the absence of coordination and cooperation. This paper describes a two course sequence in software engineering design that focuses attention on design and teamwork. Specifically, we discuss the nature of these courses and give an indication as to some of the strategies that are used to guide students as they learn to work effectively in large teams. Teamwork Skills Engineering curricula are usually highly structured, building in each student the foundation of technical expertise in mathematics, science, and engineering that enables graduates of engineering programs to solve real-world problems. In the 21st century, though, the problems are large and complex. Their solution requires contributions from a wide variety of disciplines and from individuals operating as a problem solving team.

Neural Network Processing Using Database Management Systems

Database Management Systems (DBMS) have become an integral part of any data storage, processing, or retrieval system.They are uniquely suited to manipulate large amounts of data while maintaining a level of data integrity and security.Meanwhile, Neural Networks are being used to perform operations on data to discover the unknown underlying input/output relationships.A significant part of Neural Network processing is reducing the input space to a manageable size.These algorithms utilize some of the same techniques that databases use (such as hashing functions) to retrieve or store large amounts of data quickly.This project utilizes a popular DBMS to build a Neural Network application that resides inside the database.This will yield many benefits that weren't previously attainable, e.g., the data and the Neural Network are both located in the same physical location.There is no need to export the data from the database, manipulate it into an appropriate format, and then use a separate Neural Network application to process the data.Another benefit is that there is no need for database users to learn external applications to process the data from their database.They simply issue an appropriate SQL statement and the Neural Network will perform the calculations and give a result.If the data is changed, the user simply re-issues the SQL statement to recalculate the outputs of the system.Utilizing this system, database users will be able to perform high level data processing tasks using the tools with which they are familiar, while appreciating significant performance gains over other implementations.
Integrating Secure Development Practices Into A Software Engineering Course

Many security incidents arise from flaws in the code or design of software systems.CERT reported over 5000 software vulnerabilities in 2005.These vulnerabilities are the result of inadequate consideration of security during the development process.However, typical software engineering courses and textbooks do not address security issues.In response to this problem, software engineering courses with an integrated coverage of security have been introduced at two universities.Information security has been integrated into every phase of the software life-cycle.Teams in both courses developed web application software, requiring them to address common web application security issues such as access control and injection flaws.Students have come out of the courses with a better appreciation of the need for software security and a basic understanding of how to develop secure software.However, finding the time required to cover software security effectively remains a considerable challenge, especially as both institutions only offer a single semester of software engineering.
Fuzzy Robots Design Workshop

This paper describes the Design Workshop course offered at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department (ECE) at the University of Minnesota Duluth (UMD).This workshop course is one mechanism by which students completing the ECE program at UMD can satisfy the requirement for a senior design project.The design workshop topic for the spring 2002 was the use of fuzzy logic to control mobile robots.In this workshop, students worked in small groups and were required to design, build and program a mobile robot with intelligent behaviors using fuzzy logic.In this workshop no formal lectures were taught, however the students received an intensive review covering the topics of the 68HC12 microcontroller, principles of mobile robots, sensors, and fuzzy logic.
Wireless Laptops In The Classroom: No Strings Attached?

The search continues for ways to enhance education through the integration of computers in the classroom.A tool that is available to the Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering at the United States Military Academy (USMA) at West Point is a mobile wireless network and twenty-one laptop computers that have the potential to turn any classroom into an "instant" computer lab.This mobile computing environment was recently put to the test instructing mechanical engineering design students in the use of Quality Function Deployment methods and software.The integration of laptop computers, wirelessly connected to the USMA network, was explored from a pedagogical as well as logistical perspective.Issues involved in the use of wireless laptops are discussed as well as lessons learned.In addition, an attempt is made to extrapolate future educational possibilities and pitfalls as more institutions move towards a mobile computing environment.

Epistemological Approach Of Information Concepts Within Different Disciplines

Today, information -rather than labor or capital -is becoming the key factor in production.Thus, the actual so-called "Post-Industrial Society" is the Information Society, whose fundamentals are Information Science and Information Technology.In this paper, an attempt is made to outline the epistemological 1 approach of information concept within different disciplines as well as the need of a general higher education in Information Science.Problem solving, decision-making and paperwork reducing are some of most frequent information processes currently involving engineers and managers in multi-disciplinary teams, within a company.Even if electrical, electronics and computer engineers are already involved in some information transmission theories, models and methods, all engineers have to know how it is possible today to generate, process, communicate, store and use information in the most advantageous way.
POLITENESS STRATEGIES OF THE KARONESE FAMILIES IN DELI TUA

This research dealt with politeness strategies of the Karonese Families in Deli Tua. The objective of this&#x0D; study was to describe types of politeness strategies of the Karonese Families. This research applied&#x0D; qualitative research design. The subjects were three of Karonese families who lived in Deli Tua. The&#x0D; subjects were divided into two groups; three subjects from parents and three subjects from children group.&#x0D; The instruments used to gain the data were observation and interview. There were two ways relationships&#x0D; that were observed; first, interaction parent to parent, second, interaction parent to child. The data were&#x0D; analyzed by using data reduction, data display and conclusion drawing/verification. The findings showed&#x0D; that the Karonese families used two types of politeness strategies which were (1) bald on record strategy&#x0D; and (2) positive politeness strategy, both interactions; parent to parent and parent to child. They expressed&#x0D; their politeness strategies by using kinship forms and pronoun. There were three reasons why they used&#x0D; bald on record strategy as the dominant type; first, Social Distance (D) of the speaker and hearer, second,&#x0D; Power (P) between them, and third, the Rank of Imposition (R)

IMPROVING EFL YOUNG LEARNERS’ VOCABULARY ACHIEVEMENT THROUGH ADOPTING THE DIRECT METHOD

The aim of this research is to find out whether there is an improvement of EFL third graders’ English vocabulary achievement after the Direct Method has been adopted. The population of this research is the third grade students of one elementary school in Garut. The writer took a sample of 30 students. Pretest and posttest were used as the instruments of the research to measure students’ vocabulary achievement before and after the Direct Method had been adopted in the class. According to the statistical research, null hypothesis is rejected if t-observed is more than t-critical, and the finding of this research showed that t-observed was 9.42 and t-critical was 2.045, which means that positive hypothesis “there is some improvement of students’ vocabulary achievement after the Direct Method has been adopted” was accepted.
The Role of Crossover in Genetic Algorithms to Solve Optimization of a Function Problem

The genetic algorithm is an adaptive search method that has the ability for a smart search to find the best solution and to reduce the number of trials and time required for obtaining the optimal solution.The aim of this paper was to study the behavior of different types of crossover operators in the performance of GA. We have also studied the effects of the parameters and variables (crossover probability, mutation rate, population size and number of generation) for controls the algorithm. This work accumulated some types of crossover operators to be a reference to all researchers; it was implemented on Optimization of a function. We investigate to explore the role of crossover in GAs with respect to this problem, by using a comparison study of the iteration results obtained from change the parameters values (crossover probability, mutation rate, population size and number of generation).The experimental results reported will show more light into how crossover effects the GAs search power in the context of optimization problems.The work explains the role of crossover operators in GAs and it shows the iteration results obtained with implementation in Delphi version 6.0 visual programming language exploiting the object oriented tools of this language.
Emerging Sounds Through Implicit Cooperation: A Novel Model for Dynamic Music Generation

Normally agents cooperate when they have a joint goal or are able to get a higher payoff by doing so. We present a new perspective, where an agent cooperates with another without an explicit intention. We study this perspective in the context of Art Games, by introducing a novel algorithm where a human agent cooperates with a video game system in generating music in an emergent fashion, without needing awareness that he/she is doing so. We present a theoretical analysis of our system, and preliminary experiments with human subjects.
Please Play with your Phones – Using Student-Owned Personal Electronics to Enhance In Class Activities

Abstract Please Play with your Phones – Using Student-Owned Personal Electronics to Enhance In Class ActivitiesSmartphones, laptops, and tablets are ubiquitous among the current generation of students.Although there has been a movement toward using individual students’ electronics in K-12settings, or requiring students to purchase particular devices, there has been little work onharnessing the array of personal electronics typically carried by the average student. This workdiscusses the use of students’ personal electronics as tools to enhance in-class cooperativelearning activities. The course in question is a junior level course in Measurement and Analysis.Initially only calculators were allowed in class, and the use of phones and other personalelectronics forbidden. In subsequent course offerings, students were allowed to use tablets totake notes in conjunction with PowerPoint lectures posted on the course website. Most recently,students have been encouraged to use programs such as Notability to take notes, and are alsogiven in-class activities in statistics, graphing, and other data analysis tasks that are best done ona laptop. Additionally, ‘mini-experiments’ involving downloaded measurement applications,such as accelerometer data recorders, have been used to provide students with the opportunity todo real time measurement inside and outside of class. The result has been increased engagementin class discussions and improved scores on certain in-class activities. In addition, increasingnumbers of students are using smart devices in independent projects, including Capstone Design.Although the risk of student distraction is still present, there seems to be evidence thatencouraging the use of these devices for specific tasks can aid student learning and increaseinterest in classroom topics, without infrastructure expenditures by the college. In addition tomanaging distraction, careful thought must also be given to providing equal opportunities forlearning to students who have a wide variety of devices, or who lack smart devices of their own.Through careful design of activities and encouraging collaboration between students, thesedrawbacks can be managed.
Educating Future Software Professionals On Outsourced Software Development

Comparison against non-outsourced versions of the projects.One of the benefits of the structure is that the same project is implemented by teams using the outsourcing models and not using the outsourcing models.• Anecdotal instructor feedback.• Project teams conclude process by conducting postmortems, and this information may also prove useful in assessing the outsourcing experience.Finally, we again note that our emphasis is process-centered, not project-centered.While the quality of the resulting software deliverables is a significant factor in the overall success of the project, we emphasize the role of process in determining project success.Were student teams able to define and follow a process?Did students encounter, address, and gain experience with "real-world" project obstacles related to process and people management?The true measure of experiment's success will be in the answers to questions such as these, and not necessarily in whether their resulting software works at all.

The data was analysed using descriptive statistical method and simple regression analysis. To test the statistics is used the t test. Most of the students have average and low motivation and they also have average and low learning-achievement in studying English. The data analysis and interpretation showed that there is no significant effect of motivation on the students� achievement in studying English.
THE ROLE OF HUMAN CAPTTAL IN APPLICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AN APPLIED STUDY ON INSTITUTE OF POST GRADUATE CHILDHOOD STUDIES AIN SHAMS UNIVERSITY

This study aimed to identify research in the role of human capital as one of the characteristics of environmental management systems in national projects. To achieve this goal, the researchers relied on theoretical rooting through the inductive approach, from Arabic and foreign books, references and studies, Then conducting a field study by designing a survey list for the doctor, assistant teachers, employees, administrators, researchers, and specialists at the Institute of Higher Studies for Childhood. The study was concerned with identifying deficiencies in the application of the different ecosystems related to the subject of the study, and the descriptive analytical method was used through a questionnaire form as a main tool for the study by faculty, administrators and workers. And their number (195) forms that were distributed, and the number of valid forms (151) form. The most important results of the study are that the study demonstrated that the value of the Alpha Cronbach coefficient is high for the total questionnaire, as it reached the Alpha Cronbach method (0.950), while the mid-way segmentation amounted to (0.888). 0.697) and after the application of ecosystems (0.906) and mid-range segmentation (0878). Because of the role of human capital in the application of environmental systems, it was (0.918) and for the mid-term segmentation (0.886), where the results were close between the two methods, the Alpha Cronbach and the mid-point segmentation. The researchers recommend paying attention to human capital, as it is an intangible and vital element in the application of environmental management systems for its various activities, and guidance for developing strategic plans to invest human capital and interact with the elements of the organization’s culture to reach the set goals.
Adaptive Filtering Method using of Non- Gaussian Moving Average model from First order (simulation study)

The interest of the time series focuses on the relations that linking the variables phenomenon and time, and to build a model suitable for time series requires the attention of parametric phenomenon, and Adaptive filtering method is one of the most important ways to build time series, In this paper, we used the Adaptive filtering method of non-Gaussian moving average model from first order MA (1 ) for several distributions of intermittent and continuous for a number of different volumes of samples and using simulation techniques.The values of estimators by Iterative process and by Adaptive filtering method increases as the size of the sample increased, The values MSE and MAPE to MA(1) model decrease as the sample size is increased, and for all kinds of discrete and continuous distributions.Keyword: Time series, Moving Average model, Iterative process, Adaptive filtering
Merits of Hierarchical Story and Discourse Planning with Merged Languages

A hierarchical, bipartite model can characterize many complex narrative phenomena associated with coordinating plot and communication in storytelling (e.g., cinematography), but the predominant pipeline-based strategy for generating narratives has inadvertently limited the expressiveness of storytelling systems. We introduce computational steps for merging story and discourse languages in plan-based storytelling systems with hierarchical knowledge which avoids this problem and motivates more expressive narrative discourse reasoning.
