With human civilization moving to cities and cities having housing societies with hundreds of residents, a common problem arises and that is to distribute the shared amenities and resource's usage bill among the residents of a housing society. Since the usage pattern of each residents is different (due to lifestyles and needs), so charging an average amount is not justified. In case where the usage...
When new faculty arrive for a new position at a college or university, they are typically flooded with information on all the "things to know and do" before the start of their first semester. They often participate in orientation sessions that give them snapshots on human resources, research protocol, departmental requirements, getting a computer account, using the library, using the course...
Current research environments are witnessing high enormities of presentations occurring in different sessions at academic conferences. This situation makes it difficult for researchers (especially juniors) to attend the right presentation session(s) for effective collaboration. In this paper, we propose an innovative venue recommendation algorithm to enhance smart conference participation. Our proposed...
In this paper we present the ongoing research project Kodin-Kfz. Kodin-Kfz is the abbreviation for “Kollaboratives Diagnosenetzwerk für die Kfz-Servicearbeit” (Collaborative Diagnosis Network for Car Services). The main objective of this project is to connect motor mechanics within an internet-based community to collaboratively solve technical problems in a diagnostic context that could not be solved...
The Engineering Leadership Program (ELP) founded at Iowa State University in 2006 is a four year student run leadership development program for undergraduate engineering students. The ELP is continually adapting to feedback from the scholar community, however the first year experience has emerged as a well structured learning experience. The first year ELP experience is designed to create a close...
Educating Civil Engineers at the United States Coast Guard Academy (USCGA) presents its own unique challenges and opportunities. Given our dual mission to graduate civil engineers and officers for the United States Coast Guard, it is important that we infuse practices from industry into the Coast Guard Civil Engineering Program while ensuring that our graduates develop a sense of community and public...
This paper reports differences in belonging and connection to various levels of community between distinctly different technical fields: electrical engineering, civil & environmental engineering, and computer science. Established (reliable and validated) constructs have been used to assess community strength in these three fields at a major research university. The results emphasize gender differences...
