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

1.Research the disasters of the Challenger and Columbia space shuttles.What ethical questions did these disasters raise, both from a human and an engineering perspective? Perhaps, investigate other well-known tragedies in the automobile, nuclear, shipping, construction, or other industries. What do they illustrate about ethics and engineering decisions?

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?

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.
