ALUMNUS Telecommunications UMR is becoming a 'satellite' campus for Missouri's nontraditional engineering students

By Martin Blank News & Publications Delivering engineering courses to nontraditional students in Missouri by means of an interactive video system will transform virtually any location in the state into a "satellite" campus ofUMR. The development of such an educational system is part of the University of Missouri System Board of Curators' charge to UMR to meet the engineering educational n eeds of nontraditional students in Missouri's urban and outs tate areas.

"Our intention to extend engineering education to nontraditional students through an interactive video system represents a new era of educational service to Missourians," said UMR Ch ancellor Martin C. Jischke. ''The educational opportunities of telecommunications are revolutionary, and Missouri, through UMR's program, can be a leader in exploiting this new tool for learning," he added.

Jischke added that "this new educational opportunity could enhance the economic development efforts of Missouri's communities by providing them with the capability to offer engineering education at existing companies and businesses in their respective areas. ''The availability of engineering education throughout the state also may encourage other corporations to locate in Missouri," he continued.

According to Dr. John Park, UMR vice chancellor for academic affairs, the program would expand upon UMR's cooperative transfer agreements with community colleges and four-year institutions

throughout Missouri and would deliver the last two years of the electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and engineering management bachelor of science degree programs to students at these sites.

In addition to the institutions covered by these agreemen ts, courses also would be delivered to companies throughout the state,

throughout, and the same quality standards as are applied to the campus's resident program would be employed.

"Laboratories," he continued , "would be taught in intensive, nontraditional formats on the UMR campus so as to maximize the use of current equipment and at the same time minimizing the disruption of students' schedules and

lifestyles."

U sing interactive video to transmit engineering courses to nontraditional students offers several distinct advantages. They include: • Offering a cost-effective means of providing access to engineering education while ensuring that nontraditional students receive the same high-quality instruction in engineering that is available at UMR. • Flexibility in delivery time, location and reception. The program also can be easily expanded as the need arises.

• Building on the cooperative transfer agreements will provide participating students with the necessary support services.

• Relatively low cost when compared with the alternative of establishing traditional on-site programs at any number oflocations in the state.

• The potential for using the system for other educational purposes. ''The program also will encompass systematic evaluation of the effectiveness of interactive video instruction at the undergraduate level and research and development activities to supplement instruction through the use of advanced technology," Park said.

Initial cost for the program, which would include 30 remote sites throughout the state, is about $5 million for capital expenditures, including $2.68 million for a UMR Hub Station, and about $1.8 million for operation. The system ultimately could be expanded to access hundreds of remote locations.

The UMR Hub Station capital costs are included in the campus's 1990 fiscal year capital request as part of the Electrical Engineering and Science renovation project.

First-year operating costs are included in the campus's 1990 fiscal year operating budget request as an improvement request entitled "Extending Engineering Education to Nontraditional Students."

"UMR engineering programs are known around the world for their high quality and this method of providing educational services to nontraditional students would ensure the continuation of that tradition of quality in this endeavor," said Jischke.

Extending the classroom Students at the remote classrooms will see and hear their instructors during the entire class period. the instructor at UMR can monitor the return audio and video of the students.

What follows is an example of how a class might be conducted at a remote site: • 7:20 p.m. The instructor and students enter their respective classrooms. A graphic on a freezeframe monitor displays the class

name, lesson number and date.

Students observe the instructor on a separate monitor.

• 7:25 p.m. The instructor sends notes, handouts and assignments for the day to all remote sites.

Personal computer systems at the sites automatically print out the material for distribution to the students.

• 7:30 p.m. Roll is taken and the day's lecture begins. The instructor uses the freeze frame

channel for problem development, notes, graphs, diagrams and charts. Students may ask questions at any time.

• 8:15 p.m. The instructor requests homework assignments.

Students send PC files or facsimile copies to the instructor where they are recorded and, if necessary, recorded on a magnetic disc to be printed and graded at a later time.

• 8:20 p.m. The class concludes and the next class begins.

UMR researchers develop waste 'digester'

Smaller communities may be able to treat their wastewater more economically and efficiently with a new sludge digester system that has been developed at UMR. "Much of the cost savings associated with this new system is directly related to the speed in which it operates as well as its smaller size," explained Dr. JuChang (Howard) Huang, director of the UMR Environmental Research Center who directed the development of the new system.

"At the least, this new system operates about 10 times faster than conventional sludge treatment systems, accomplishing in two to three days what it would

percent ofthe total wastewater treatment cost," he added.

In addition, the new system is much smaller than conventional systems. ''The new digester could be constructed as part of a mobile trailer and could then either be sold directly to small wastewater treatment plants or transported from one location to another with services provided on a contractual basis," Huang said.

The treatment of wastewater is a two-phase process, with the sludge digester functioning in the second phase.

In the first phase, micro-organisms are used to literally consume the pollutants contained in the wastewater.

"The removed pollutants, about

Smaller communities may be able to treat 'tneir wastewater more economically and efficiently with a new sludge digester system that has been developed at UMR normally take 30 to 60 to do," added Huang, who is also a professor of civil engineering.

"This reduction in time could represent a significant savings as the costs associated with the treatment and di sposal of sludge represent between 50 and 60

half of which now exist in the form of sludge, must be separated from the treated water before the water is released back into streams and lakes," Huang explained. ''Thi s sludge contains organic matter and disease-causing elements that must then be destroyed

before the sludge can be disposed of onto agricultural lands. If this is not done, the potential for creating a public health hazard and an odor nuisance would exist," he added.

As in conventional treatment systems, the new sludge digester uses micro-organisms to break down pollutants contained in the sludge. ''The difference between the two systems exists in the way this is accomplished," said Huang.

"The conventional method of treating sludge is to put it in a very large enclosed tank, called a sludge digester," he continued. "Inside the tank, the sludge is sequentially worked on by two types of bacteria - acid-forming and methaneproducing. " Huang said that the acidforming bacteria provide the first phase of the treatment process and the methane-producing bacteria provide the completed phase of the treatment process.

"After 30 to 60 days of detention, the pollutants in the sludge will have been converted by bacterial action to methane gas," he added. ''The pollutant-free sludge can then be released while the produced methane gas can be salvaged and used as a fuel."

Because the methane-producing bacteria grow slowly, a conventional digester needs to be very large in order to maintain a sufficient number of bacteria and to compensate for bacteria being flushed out with the treated sludge.

''The large volume requirement adds a considerable cost to the sludge treatment process," Huang explained. "This is because the contents of the digester, whether it be a large digester or a small digester, must be heated and mixed continuously to maintain proper operation." .

Huang found, however, that by allowing the acid-forming and ane-producing bacteria to grow on a san d grain surface in a fluidized system that employed a floating sand medium, the bacteria were able to grow to a very high concentration in a relatively small area.

"This provided the numbers of bacteria necessary to treat the sludge," Huang said. "And because no matter how fast the raw sludge is passed through the new digester, the sand grains and bacteria . inside the system. This alleviates th e flushing out of bacteria problem associated with conventional systems."

Huang said that the new system could reduce sludge detention from the conventional 30 to 60 days to about two or three.

"This represents a tremendous increase in the speed of treatment," he said. "For a given community, this could mean a considerable savings in time and money.

Huang explained that the first prototype unit of the system is large enough to treat the wastewater created by about 150 people.

Housing damage following a cyclone

UMR researchers seeking housing's 'weak link'

By Dick Hatfield News & Publications

Finding a structural "weak link" in Missouri's houses may help to lessen property damage caused by windstorms and reduce the cost of homeowners insurance, according to Dr. Joseph Minor, chairman of the department of civil engineering at UMR. Over the next several months, Minor, along with other researchers from UMR and the University of Missouri-Columbia, will be seeking to determine if there a weak link does exist in the chain of structural members and connections which hold Missouri's houses together during damaging windstorms.

Minor explained that in most other areas ofthe country, the weak link in this chain is the connection between the roof and the top of the wall.

"If this should also prove to be the 'weak link' in Missouri housing, we may find that entire roofs, or major portions of roofs, are damaged or removed during severe windstorms," he said.

Minor said that while it initially appears that this connection is the weak link in Missouri housing, the field study that he and the other

researchers will conduct will seek to document and verify that this is indeed the case.

To conduct the field study teams from UMR and UMC will be sent to the scenes of windstorm damage immediately following storms to evaluate and document damage to housing.

"Should we find the connection between the roof and walls to be the weak link, we can then focus on strengthening those joints as a means of reducing the amount of damage that occurs," Minor said.

"These joints can be strengthened by the use of metal clips, which are called "hurricane clips" in the southern part of the United States," he continued.

These clips are abo].lt five times as strong as conventional nailed connections in which nails are driven diagonally through the rafter into the top of the wall.

"The cost of these clips is about 50 cents apiece," Minor said.

"Should our data show that damage could be significantly reduced by these clips, building codes could then be revised to require their use in houses built in areas subjected to frequent and damaging windstorms."

Mgmt. Bldg. The Computer IntegratecfManufacturing (CIM) and Packaging Laboratory, of the UMR Engin eering Management Department, provides 5200 square feet of floor space for use in teaching and research in engineering management.

The laboratory Is equipped with industrial-grade equipment used primarily for student research projects and laboratory work for manufacturing related courses leading to specialization at the undergraduate and graduate levels in CIM and Packaging Engineering.

Course #1 - "An Introduction to Grounding and Shielding of Electronic Instrumentation" Is taught by Dr. Tom VanDoren. It will be held from 10:00 a m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday In the Ozark Room, UC-West. A careful explanation of the objectives and techniques for grounding and shielding will reduce misconceptions ana allow a more systematic approach to replace "trial and error" methods. The presentation will be at an Introductory level: however, a knowledge of electronic circuit and system cfeslgn will be assumed. Several Interference mechanisms and shielding techniques will be demonstrated.

Course #2 - ''Time Management" will be taught by Dr. Debra Robinson. It will be held 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. on Friday In the Meramec Room, UC-East. The Importance of time management for happiness and success will be discussed and a model for life planning introduced. Techniques to enhance professional success through gaining control over one's time and activities will be presented.

Course #3 - "Oak Leaves and ShD1eIagh.: Enjdneerlng Education In the Ozark." Trom 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. on Friday In the Missouri Room, UCEast, will be tau~t by Drs. Lany Christensen and .rack Ridley. These two UMR historians will review for you or your spouse some of the factors which created this institution.

Autqors of "UM-Rolla: A History of MSM-UMR", Christensen discusses "the early years" when philosophy and educational practices were being set by the first director, C. P. wulI:ims .' ) Ridley covers "the later years" such as 1946 when enrollment Jumped from 265 to 2,565 in one year and classes and labs ran from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., six days a week.

Course #4 - ''The Japanese Sy.tem of Proces. Control and Productivity Improvement (An Overvlewr will be taught by Dr. Henry Wiebe, and will be field from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Friday, 104 Engineering Management.

This course will emphasize the need for statistical quality control as practiced by the Japanese. It will cover W. Edward Deming's principles of management and productivity improvement, and will offer a descriptive nonquantltatlve review of statistlciil tools used for productivity improvement.

Course #5 - "A Medieval WIndow: The Gothic Cathedral" will be tau~t

by Drs. Wayne Bledsoe and Harry EIsenman from 3 :30 to 4:30 p.m. Friday in the Missouri Room, UC-East.

An audio-visual presentation introducing participants to the Gothic cathedral as a symbol of the Medieval era and providing participants with an outline of the special Missouri London Program Intersesslon course given In London over the Christmas holidays.

This course uses the many historical clues In English cathedrals and abbeys (stained glass, sculpture, and architectural elements) as microcosms of Medieval life and culture.

Course #6 - "Letting Color be the Clue: Sprectroacoplc Approachea to Biopolymer." will be taught Friday afternoon from 3 :30 to 4:30 p.m. by Dr Patricia M. Callahan in Monsanto Hall (0-3 , ChemiStry). Biological pigments and macromolecules nave unique patterns of light absorption throughout the ultraviolet, visible and infra-red regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The information supplied by these absorption characteristics can be enhanced by coupling it to a vibrational technique such as resonance Raman Spectroscopy. The intensity of Raman vibrational spectrum is enhanced by matching the wavelength of the laser excitation source to the molecule's absorption maximum. In this way, detailed and selective structural information can be obtained on very small quantities of material. This presentation will discuss examples of spectroscopic investigations of biological macromolecules with emphasis on laser wavelength flexibility and on the different types of structural information that can be obtained.

Saturday, October 7 Course #7 - ''Streaa Management" Is the title of another course offered from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. Saturday morning. Taught by Dr George Schowengerdt, in the Meramec Room, UC-East, the concept of psychological stress will be Introduced and followed by discussion of its emotional, intellectual and physical side effects.

All institutions of higher learning have a great variety of customs, rituals, ana stories emphasizing the uniqueness of each campus. This seminar examines the nature of MSM-UMR by discussing the folklore of the campus ... stories about faculty and students. Some people may be surprised to learn that superstitions and rituals have always been as common among highly educated college students as they have been among primitive savages. From these stories, customs and rituals, we can see that both students and faculty hold a warm affection for one another, the campus and the city of Rolla.

Course #9 - "All You Wanted To Know About Radon But Were AfraId To Aak" will be given by Dr. Purush K. TerKonda on Saturday from 9:00 to 11:00 am. in the Ozark Room, UCWest.

Dr. Minor has researched the tornado from an engineering perspective for 20 years. I1Is research has led to the discovery of certain myths concerning the tornado and its effects on building. Dr. Minor will discuss the "open window myth", the "weird events myth", and the "you can't do anything about a tornado myth". He will aIso summarize major findings from 20 years of tornado research which now permit engineers to design buUdlngs to withstand tornadoes.

Course #11 - "Antique 8urvey Equipment: A Review of A CoUection" will be an interesting presentation by Robert L. and Dr. 'Richard L. Elgin on Saturday in the Missouri Room, UC-East, from 10:00 to 11:30 am.

I remember that he and I never did have much money to enjoy some social life and he rarely attended dances and other parties. As an individual, he had the 'determination' to achieve his goal under difficulties and graduated with 'honor.' As a friend and fellow classmate, I salute him and so should MSM."
