Supplementing Engineering Education With Business Training, Andres C. Salazar Jan 2003

Supplementing Engineering Education With Business Training, Andres C. Salazar

Teaching Entrepreneurship to Engineering Students

A typical engineering curriculum often leaves little time in a four-year program for a budding engineer to learn about the business aspects of the company he may join soon after graduation. The outcome of little business knowledge in the commercial application of technology by engineering graduates is a lack of understanding of the importance of their contribution to the company’s bottom line. For those engineers who value business knowledge for their future profession, the alternatives for business training have been to take regular MBA courses when possible or settle for short certificate programs in a business school. In this paper …

Entrepreneurial Contexts And Traits Of Entrepreneurs, William R. Pendergast Jan 2003

Entrepreneurial Contexts And Traits Of Entrepreneurs, William R. Pendergast

Teaching Entrepreneurship to Engineering Students

This paper adopts a neo-Darwinian perspective that the entrepreneurial process includes distinctive features that “select” individuals with certain characteristics for participation and success. These individuals are attracted to entrepreneurial situations and their compatible traits enable them to navigate the challenges of entrepreneurial contexts. Furthermore, entrepreneurial environments may reinforce these traits in entrepreneurs, which develop over time in response to the requirements of entrepreneurial activity (Littunen, 2000). The paper begins with a description of early-stage entrepreneurial contexts, considers individual traits that accommodate those contexts, and concludes with a metaphor of entrepreneurs as jazz musicians that captures similarities in context and behavior.

Tools And Metrics For Evaluating Modular Product Concepts Based On Strategic Objectives, Matthew Bailey Strong Jan 2003

Tools And Metrics For Evaluating Modular Product Concepts Based On Strategic Objectives, Matthew Bailey Strong

Theses and Dissertations

The design of modular products has recently become the focus of significant research in the area of design theory and methodology. This focus is the result of increased awareness of the potential power of modularity to achieve certain product objectives. However, there continues to be a gap between the results of academic research and industrial application. The refinement, consolidation, and extension of this academic research would help design teams who are charged with developing modular products to use these academic findings in real world, industrial applications. The research presented in this document focuses on developing design tools, based on past …


Learning Rules For Anomaly Detection Of Hostile Network Traffic, Matthew V. Mahoney, Philip K. Chan Jan 2003

Learning Rules For Anomaly Detection Of Hostile Network Traffic, Matthew V. Mahoney, Philip K. Chan

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications

We introduce an algorithm called LERAD that learns rules for finding rare events in nominal time-series data with long range dependencies. We use LERAD to find anomalies in network packets and TCP sessions to detect novel intrusions. LERAD outperforms the original participants in the 1999 DARPA/Lincoln Laboratory intrusion detection evaluation, and detected most attacks that eluded a firewall in a university departmental server environment.


Ultrasonic Technique For Investigation Of The Effect Of Grid-Generated Turbulence On Sound Wave Propagation, Tatiana A. Andreeva, William W. Durgin Jan 2003

Ultrasonic Technique For Investigation Of The Effect Of Grid-Generated Turbulence On Sound Wave Propagation, Tatiana A. Andreeva, William W. Durgin

Office of the Provost Scholarship

This paper concerns an experimental study of the effects of the grid-generated turbulence on the propagation of acoustical waves in a wind tunnel. Turbulence effects are investigated using ultrasound time-of-flight method, employing counter-propagating ultrasonic pulses. Turbulence effects are an important source of error in the active probing of the atmosphere using sound sources. The emphasis is on the propagation time fluctuations and their interpretation using theoretical analysis of Kolmogorov.

Computational Simulation And Piv Measurements Of The Laminar Vortical Flowfield For A Delta Wing At High Angle Of Attack, Russell M. Cummings, Scott A. Morton, Stefan G. Siegel

Aerospace Engineering

The low-speed, laminar flowfield for a 70°-sweep delta wing is investigated. Solutions to the unsteady, three-dimensional, compressible Navier-Stokes equations were obtained on an unstructured grid to match results from an experiment performed in a water tunnel. The experiment was conducted with the delta wing at an angle of attack of 35° and the freestream flow at a root-chord Reynolds number of 40,700. The computational results are analyzed and compared with the experimental results in order to show how computations and experiments can be conducted in a synergistic fashion. Details about the primary vortex location, vortex burst, secondary vortex, and shear …

Des Grid Resolution Issues For Vortical Flows On A Delta Wing And An F-18c, Scott A. Morton, Mathew B. Steenman, Russell M. Cummings, James R. Forsythe

Aerospace Engineering

An assessment of unstructured grids for use in Detached-Eddy Simulations (DES) of vortical flowfields over two configurations, a 70 degree delta wing and an F-18C are presented. The role of the grid in detached eddy simulations of vortical flowfields, including complex features such as vortex breakdown, is assessed on a delta wing with comparison to wind tunnel data. Adaptive mesh refinement is applied to the delta wing grid to improve the focus region aft of the vortex breakdown where massively separated flow exists and unsteady pressures are generated that could impact the loads on vertical tails of more complex configurations. …

Time-Resolved Electroluminescence Of Algan-Based Light-Emitting Diodes With Emission At 285 Nm, M. Shatalov, A. Chitnis, V. Mandavilli, R. Pachipulusu, J. P. Zhang, V. Adivarahan, S. Wu, Grigory Simin, M. Asif Khan, G. Tamulaitis, A. Sereika, I. Yilmaz, M. S. Shur, R. Gaska

Faculty Publications

We present a study on the time evolution of the electroluminescence(EL)spectra of AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes(LEDs) under pulsed current pumping. The ELspectra peaks at 285 nm and 330 nm are found to result from recombination involving band-to-band and free carriers to deep acceptor level transitions. The 330 nm long-wavelength transitions to deep acceptor levels in the p-AlGaN layer as well as the nonradiative processes significantly influence the LED internal quantum efficiency.
