AUS ﬁrst in the Middle-East to offer the computer-based Fundamentals of Engineering exam Sharjah, Tuesday, April 1, 2014- American University of Sharjah ( AUS ) has become the first and only institution in the Middle-East to offer the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam via computerbased testing. This popular exam is administrated by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES) in the USA. The first AUS computer-based FE exam will be offered at the AUS Testing Center tomorrow, April 2. AUS recently signed an agreement with Pearson VUE, the computer-based testing (CBT) business of Pearson, to become a Pearson VUE Authorized Test Centre Select to deliver NCEES certification exams. "The Fundamentals of Engineering exam is typically the first step in the process leading to the Professional Engineer (PE) license in the US. It is designed for recent graduates and students who are close to finishing an undergraduate engineering degree. In addition, the College of Engineering at AUS uses the results of the exam for curriculum assessment purposes in its various undergraduate programs," said Dr. Hany El Kadi, Associate Dean, College of Engineering. Offering the computer-based FE exam will give participants the flexibility of choosing a convenient test date and will allow them to receive the results within a couple of weeks of taking the exam. The computer-based FE will be offered several times throughout the year and will facilitate the registration process for engineers from the UAE, the Gulf Area and the Middle East. The university anticipates over 700 students, alumni and external participants taking the test annually. Jerry Carter, Chief Executive Officer, NCEES, said "NCEES is extremely happy to have in place a partnership with an outstanding institution as AUS that allows the NCEES examinations to be offered to its students and other candidates in the area. By offering the NCEES exams, AUS will receive data on the performance of their candidates that can be used to evaluate their individual programs and the candidates taking the exam will enhance their opportunities for future employment outside the UAE". -EndsFor more information, please contact: Miriam Kiwan Director of Strategic Communications and Media mkiwan@aus.edu Nazzal Yousef Director of Media Relations +971 6 515 2157 nyousuf@aus.edu About AUS American University of Sharjah ( AUS ) was founded in 1997 by His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan Bin Mohammed Al Qassimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah.

Reefs in peril, experts warn With more than 1,000 sq km of coral reefs spread along the UAE, local experts say they would like to see more effort made to protect the reefs from coastal developments. "There are still many high-value coral reefs out there on our coastline that are susceptible," says Dr John Burt, Associate Professor of Biology at New York University Abu Dhabi. But Dr Burt and Dr Aaron Bartholomew, Associate Professor of Biology at the American University of Sharjah, who have both researched the role of breakwaters and artificial reefs in coral recovery, say using breakwaters as a substitute for coral reefs has its limitations. While coral coverage was notably higher on breakwaters than on natural reefs, the diversity of the species was often compromised. Moreover, artificial reefs take decades to mature. TDIC has reported unprotected coral reefs to the Environment Agency Abu Dhabi and said construction projects are further into the island, with no direct impact on the marine environment.

The real cost of building on the coast The UAE is home to remarkable coastal developments that have become symbolic of the country's rise to prominence. Some of the iconic projects include elaborate island developments that are now popular destinations for residents and tourists in places that were completely inhabitable a few years ago. The three main marine habitats found in the country are mangroves, seagrasses and coral reefs. Such ecosystems are of vital importance to the region's economy and ecology, explains Dr Aaron Bartholomew, Associate Professor of Biology at the American University of Sharjah. Much effort has been placed by developers to mitigate the environmental impact of coastal development. In the case of Palm Jebel Ali, the favoured gabbro rock was used to from breakwaters and create a dynamic environment for marine life. Coastal urbanisation is not unique to the UAE. About 45 per cent of the world's population live on the coastline and about two-thirds of the world's largest cities are built along the coast, says Dr John Burt, a marine biologist and Associate Professor of Biology at New York University Abu Dhabi.

Why couldn’t Nasa find that plane? The disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines aircraft indeed exposed our fragile world of intricate transport, communications and space technologies By Nidhal Guessoum | Special to Gulf News Published: 21:00 March 31, 2014

The disappearance of Flight MH370 has been called “the greatest mystery of the 21st Century” (so far). It has fascinated the world, drawing wall-to-wall coverage from global news channels. It has baffled experts and lay men alike. It even led news shows on CNN to consider farfetched and irrational scenarios ranging from ‘Bermuda triangle’ and a Lost (TV show) type of crash to black holes. Even “the supernatural” was invoked ... One valid question that has been repeatedly asked is: “Why couldn’t Nasa find that airplane?” — Nasa representing, in the public psyche, the technological prowess of humanity. This is an important question because it first reveals the public’s deep-seated suspicions that our technological capabilities are highly exaggerated and that even our scientific claims are suspect. Indeed, several people asked me on Twitter how I could defend http://gulfnews.com/opinions/columnists/why-couldn-t-nasa-find-that-plane-1.1312022

the “claim” that Nasa made it to the Moon and had sent a spacecraft (Voyager 1) beyond the solar system, when it could not locate this plane or even say in which direction it flew after communications were lost or cut off with ground control. We have indeed been telling the public that humanity has placed thousands of satellites in space, some of which can make out 10-centimetre-sized objects on Earth. We have also said that every square-foot of our planet has been mapped and can be viewed by anyone and from anywhere (using Google Earth). And, lately, we have been hearing that most phone conversations and most email exchanges are recorded and analysed by some companies or agencies. How could we then explain to the public that all this powerful technology is unable to locate a 60-metre object with 239 people on it?! Before we can answer that important question, a few facts need to be recalled. First, planes are not tracked by satellites, but by radars. And there are large areas of Earth where no radar installations exist. Planes do use GPS to determine their own locations, but that information is not transmitted to anyone. Some planes carry tracking devices, but those can only be used if they are turned on and specific satellites are given the task. British company Inmarsat, with 11 satellites, began tracking MH370 about three hours after it went missing via an on-board data system (Aero Classic), which is not a GPS-type locating system. In fact, these satellites are not even GPS-equipped! One of them sent a “ping” (a brief signal) to the plane every hour, getting an automatic “ping” response eight times. Data analysts were thus able to narrow down the plane’s possible routes — a complex problem http://gulfnews.com/opinions/columnists/why-couldn-t-nasa-find-that-plane-1.1312022

considering the different angles that the signals could have come from. Geostationary satellites such as Inmarsat’s orbit at 36,000km above Earth. They cover wide areas, but they cannot resolve anything smaller than tens of kilometres. Low-orbit satellites can have very high resolution (tens of centimetres), but they only see a very small area (a few kilometres) at a time. Now, if the plane exploded in flight, at high speed and with strong winds, and depending on how many pieces it broke into, it could have scattered over tens of kilometres. (This is a nice high-school physics exercise, by the way.) If it crashed as one piece, and depending on the angle, it could have reached the bottom of the ocean and few pieces could have floated back. That is essentially what happened to Air France Flight 447, which crashed in the Atlantic in similar circumstances in June 2009. And last but not the least, satellite images have shown that our oceans are littered with debris of all kinds, from small plastic boxes to large containers. Finding a “good” object among all that detritus is really like finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. One satellite company, DigitalGlobe, and its subsidiary Tomnod, thus resorted to volunteers in a crowdsourcing attempt to help search its satellite images for any object that could be related to the case. Volunteers indeed could do a better job than computers, but they still came up with too many “false positives” (objects that looked “good” but turned out to be false alarms). What about the famous black boxes that record all flight information? First, those boxes are not equipped with GPS devices that would allow us to determine their http://gulfnews.com/opinions/columnists/why-couldn-t-nasa-find-that-plane-1.1312022

locations. Secondly, they emit pings that can be detected from 2-3km, but only for 30 days or so (due to limited battery power). In the case of the Air France plane, it took two full years for its black boxes to be found. These technical limitations will most likely be addressed and black boxes will be upgraded in the near future. The disappearance of Flight MH370 indeed exposed our fragile world of intricate transport, communications and space technologies. We have really made huge advances in the 20th Century, but we are still limited in many regards. Frustrations should not push us to belittle our progress or turn our backs to science and technology. Instead, they should encourage us to work harder to improve our systems and rectify their shortcomings. Nidhal Guessoum is a professor and associate dean at the American University of Sharjah.

On the right track Our youthful energy and enthusiasm does not necessarily carry over to later in life. The challenge of our younger years is to homess those qualities. Unlike before, simply pursuing the lower blocks of Maslow's hierarchy is not enough. Respect and appreciate the advice of elders but remember that it is not necessarily geared for today. Do what you need to do. Published on: 31/03/2014 Name: Capital Business Page: 76
