A team of students prepared an oral defense for their design project contained only the following items: a statement of the problem and the final detailed design. What else should they have included?
While writing a design report a team members copies material from the Internet and pastes it into their section of the report. He/she feels that this is important information relevant to the operation of your design. How do you deal with this situation?

A typical drywall finisher works 45 hours per week for 16 weeks of the year and 40 hour per week for 32 weeks of the year, and gets 4 weeks off in the form of vacation, holidays, and sick leave (for which the drywall finishers are paid for 40 hours per week). The typical drywall finisher is paid $25.78 per hour. The employer must comply with the overtime requirements in the Fair Labor Standards Act. Determine the wages paid to a typical drywall finisher and the number of billable hours during a one-year period. Assume that all hours are billable except holidays, vacation, and sick leave

A simply supported beam with a span of 26 FT is used to carry a service dead load (including self-weight) of 1.65 KLF and a service live load of 3.3 KLF and is reinforced with 4-#9 bars. The beam has a width b of 14 IN, an effective depth of 24.5 IN., and a height of 27 IN. The material strengths are f’c = 4000 PSI and fy = 60 KSI. The immediate deflection due to live load is limited to L/360. Does the beam meet these limits?

Assuming a cost of AED 1.5/Liter to pump and distribute water in a municipal supply system that loses (P) of its water because of leaks, how much money is wasted annually for a city of (X) million people with a per capita demand of 300 Liters/day?
where, X = 21.0 millions P = 2%

The inactivation of a pathogenic bacterium by HOCl follows Chick’s law, i.e. the rate of death is a 1st order reaction, where the death rate is proportional to the number of bacteria at any time. 90 % of the pathogen are killed after 5 min for a constant free chlorine concentration of 2 mg/L (assume low pH, where all free chlorine is present as HOCl).
a) (9%) What is the percent kill after 10 min at the same HOCl concentration?
b) (8%) What percentage of the free chlorine would be present as HOCl (not OCl-) at pH8 if the pKa for hypochlorous acid is 7.5?
c) (3%) Why and how would the disinfection time have to change to still achieve 90 % kill of the pathogen at pH 8 at the same free chlorine concentration? (no need to calculate, discuss in terms of order of magnitude)

Within a study watershed there are six precipitation gauges with the following average annual rainfall [mm] at the following elevations [m]:
GaugeElevations = [442, 548, 736, 770, 852, 1031]
GaugePrecipitation = [1392, 1246, 1495, 1698, 1717, 1752]
Topographic analysis of this watershed gives the following distribution of its area with elevation:
AreaElevations = [200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1400, 1600]
AreaFraction = [0.0, 0.028, 0.159, 0.341, 0.271, 0.151, 0.042, 0.008]
Where the AreaElevations are the upper end of that area's elevation range. For example, 2.8%, of the basins area has an average elevation of 300m (i.e. between 200m and 400m). Given this information, estimate the average annual precipitation that this watershed receives.
