The topics and concepts in this biochemical engineering course are presented in the context of the path from drug discovery to manufacturing. The basics for working in the area of cell culture process development are covered in an interesting, relevant, and connected way. This paper presents activities for engaging students in learning the…

The ABET Engineering Criteria Program Outcomes and Assessment presents faculty, department heads, and college administrators with the challenge to actually demonstrate that their graduates have a broad range of abilities. This challenge has precipitated an unprecedented outcomes-based movement in engineering education. One possible course-level…

This document is a product of the workshop convened by the National Science Foundation Engineering Directorate. The 43 participants representing industry, government, education, private foundations, professional societies, and the Engineering Deans Council were charged to accept as given the consensus reflected in the reports of the past ten years…

Reported is a study of the subsequent dissemination of information by authors who presented material at a meeting of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). The results of the survey include the following: 57 percent of the authors submitted the material to journals, and, although some papers were…

This thesis presents a new iterative algorithm for solving an n by l solution vector w, if one exists, to a set of linear inequalities, A w greater than zero which arises in pattern recognition and switching theory. The algorithm is an extension of the Ho-Kashyap algorithm, utilizing the gradient descent procedure to minimize a criterion function…

This article outlines the goals and objectives of the National Society of Professional Engineers to ensure the application of engineering knowledge and skills in the public interest and to foster public understanding of engineering. (CS)

This brief identifies those who are considered scientists and engineers and provides statistical information on their numbers in the workforce by considering their educational backgrounds. The two primary approaches to defining a scientist or engineer are by occupational classification and by science or engineering degree. The data comes from the…
