Absence:A substantial portion of this class revolves around in-classcollaborative work. As emergencies do arise, you will be allowed one unexcused absence, but you will still be responsible for getting in contact with your peer group and/or completing the work for that day. Each absence after that can bring your grade down 0.25 level.
Excused absences are allowed in cases of serious problems. In order to receive an excused absence for an illness, you must notify me before class time or bring official notification.
Completing Work:In order to receive a passing grade in this course, you mustcomplete all of the work assigned during the semester. Late work will not be accepted.

The testing hardware of the rocket shown in Figure 8 has five main components: camera, digitizer, computer, I/O interface, and mechanical interface. Commands are generated by the computer, then passed through the I/O interface to the mechanized interface where the keyboard of the ICU is operated. The display of the ICU is read with a television camera and then digitized. This information is then manipulated by the computer to direct the next command.

Points on Writing a Scientific ManuscriptPoints on Writing a Scientific Manuscript
Technical papers usually consist of the following components:
1. Title – should be concise & to the point, contain main keywords, denote the specialty of the work, all in less than about 10 words (or 3 lines). Usually in uppercase & boldface.
2. Abstract – summary of the paper (not more that 150~200 words) including a brief description of the problem, its importance, related existing work, main proposed solution, & conclusions. No cited references or displayed equations.Written in one paragraph.

3. Keywords – selected for computerized search.Contains about 4~6 words (in the order of importance).
4. Introduction – defines the scope & limitations of the work.It contains the definition, scientific importance, historical background, & relevance to other areas. Properly describe & reference the related work. Give your description about other algorithms.Briefly describe the proposed solution, how it is different from & superior to other existing solutions.Clearly state the conclusion. Last paragraph is a summary of the paper structure.

At high pressures (760 torr) and typical electrode gapdistances (1 mm), the electrical breakdown of nitrogen was studied inuniform fields.

By the late Middle Ages, cities throughout Europe were building Gothic cathedrals. The only way, however, that architects could test a new design was to build the cathedral, a process that took more than forty years. Unfortunately, many cathedrals caved in during or after construction. What took forty years to test in the Middle Ages could have been done in minutes on a supercomputer.

Mount St. Helens erupted on May 18, 1980. A cloud of hot rock and gas surged northward from its collapsing slope. The cloud devastated more than 500 square kilometers of forests and lakes. The effects of Mount St. Helens were well documented with geophysical instruments. The origin of the eruption is notwell understood. Volcanic explosions are driven by a rapid expansion of steam. Some scientists believe the steam comes from groundwater heated by the magma. Other scientists believe the steam comes from water originally dissolved in the magma. We need to understand the source of steam in volcanic eruptions. We need to determine how much water the magma contains.

This process is not necessarily linear.
Topic can be pre-selected because of the interests of the student and/or the supervisor.
Publications & conference presentations often come directly out of the background research process.
Publications often lead to innovative ways of describing issues that will eventually lead to field or laboratory studies to validate the proposal.

Finding good review articles is like finding gold nuggets during your literature review. These are often published by Ph.D. students, who have gone through a great deal of effort to describe previous research in the field in which they are working.
Recently there has been & continues to be a huge transformation in the availability of journals, as well as many electronic books, online.

How does one make use of this great abundance of research?
1. Be selective in your choice.2. Do not print all the articles on hard copy.3. Download & store the papers you choose on your
computer & read them there if possible. Papers that are very important to your research probably should be printed out because most of us are better able to handle detailed study of hard copy than material on computer screens.
