This article describes the education portion of an ongoing grant-sponsored education and research project designed to help graduate students in all engineering disciplines learn about the basic ethical principles, rules, and obligations associated with engineering practice in the United States. While the curriculum developed for this project is used for both domestic and international students,...

One of the most significant challenges facing engineering education is the chronic problem of inclusion and retention of underrepresented groups, including women, certain racial and ethnic groups, and students whose parents did not complete college. An exploratory comparative study was conducted to investigate how engineering-related interactions prior to college and perceived barriers during e...

Educational institutions have historically struggled with retaining women in engineering. A significant drop occurs in the first year of undergraduate studies. In response, some universities have modified firstyear curricula to include more teamwork and collaboration. Using epistemic frame theory, we hypothesize that more women would remain in the field if they had authentic experiences of the ...

In recent years, engineering content is increasingly appearing in the K-12 classroom. As precollege engineering programs grow, first-year engineering students are arriving in university engineering programs with significant prior exposure to engineering content and practices. In this paper, we present the results of a survey of first-year engineering students on their participation in pre-colle...

This paper discusses the performance modeling and availability analysis of Yarn Dyeing System of a Textile Industry. The Textile Industry is a complex and repairable engineering system. Yarn Dyeing System of Textile Industry consists of five subsystems arranged in series configuration. For performance modeling and analysis of availability, a performance evaluating model has been developed with ...

This study examines the potential reuse of textile effluent treatment plant (ETP) sludge in building materials. The physico-chemical and engineering properties of a composite textile sludge sample from the southern part of India have been studied. The tests were conducted as per Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) specification codes to evaluate the suitability of the sludge for structural and non...

The use of nanotechnology in the textile industry has increased rapidly due to its unique and valuable properties. The present status of nanotechnology use in textiles is reviewed, with an emphasis on improving various properties of textiles.

Certain occupational groups are known to be at particularly high risk of developing allergic diseases. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of allergic diseases among working adolescents. The International Study of Asthma and Allergies in Childhood questionnaire was used. Four hundred and thirty six adolescents working in motor, lathe-finish, coiffure and textile an...
