Initiating an Effective Personnel Development Program

Initiating an Undergraduate Program in Software Engineering

With the action by ABET to accredit undergraduate programs in software engineering, it is expected that many engineering schools in the U.S. will soon initiate such programs. The job market in computing continues to grow and there is much evidence of a demand for graduates who understand how to how to “engineer” software systems and products. From an international perspective, the U.S. is laggi...

Initiating an antimicrobial stewardship program with limited resources

Methods We developed an AMS program, headed by a pharmacist and infectious diseases (ID) physician. Drug utilization reviews identified an expensive, broad-spectrum agent (piperacillin-tazobactam [P-T]) for initial targeting. An AMS form for listing clinical data and recommendations was developed. A daily list of patients receiving P-T was used to identify target patients for intervention. The ...

An AGV Development Program

Students following the Mechatronics Program stream at the University of Waikato often continue to a MSc degree that can involve the design of, or modification to, an Autonomous Guided Vehicle (AGV). Our challenge is to inspire and extend the capabilities of these students, a success that can perhaps be measured by the sophistication of the AGVs currently being produced by our graduates.

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
