This paper considers the factors which have led to the German university education system in its present form, and then proposes solutions to reshape this system for engineering courses. First, a pre-university year is suggested as a replacement for the present final year of secondary schooling. ...
Engineering drawing is one fundamental course for engineering students. Our primary research question is whether short videos can benefit the academic performance of students in an online-flipped college engineering course. The quantitative and qualitative data are extracted from formal exams and Likert ...
Nearly 100 additional cases have been added as well as four new contracts: the JCT Construction Management and Major Project contracts, the JCT Standard Form of Domestic Subcontract, and the Engineering and Construction Contract (the NEC ... D Chappell,Vincent Powell㏒mith,J Sims - Building Contr...
Autograding short textual answers has become much more feasible due to the rise of NLP and the increased availability of question-answer pairs brought abou
This study introduces an augmented Long-Short Term Memory (LSTM) neural network architecture, integrating Symbolic Genetic Programming (SGP), with the objective of forecasting cross-sectional price returns across a comprehensive dataset comprising 4500 l
A system of generalized Ginzburg-Landau equations for the complex envelope of a fundamental harmonic and for the real slowly relaxing zero mode are derived in a general form [for the case of the steady instability, essentially the same equations have been proposed earlier by Coullet and Fauve, ...
Aluminum matrix composites as a distinct category of advanced engineering materials are receiving more and more acceptance for application in the automotive, electronic and recreation industries [1]. Their acceptability depends mainly upon the performance=cost balance and, most importantly, enhanced stiffnes...
Zan-Kai Chong received his electronics engineering degree (majoring in Computer) and Master in Engineering Science degree from Multimedia University, Malaysia in 2006 and 2010 respectively. His research areas includes wireless mesh network, wireless sensor network, decongestion control and error correction...
(the 2 M sample), the regions that prefer BCC structures are of greater spatial extent and the degree to which BCC is more favorable than FCC is stronger (see Fig.3e). Comparing Fig.3d,edemonstrates that the stable FCC clusters (ΔEFCC−BCC < 0) tend to be located in Co-...
degree distributions (“outdegree-related popularity” and “outdegree-related activity”), and one with the interaction between reciprocity and transitivity (“transitive reciprocated triplets”). Moreover, we include effects of the study program (same program for each of the four categories ...
