Primary Concerns in the Poetry of Robert Frost

The purpose of this study is to classify the poems\u27 themes and to reveal frequency patterns, thereby disclosing Frost\u27s heaviest interests. The study is limited to an analysis of the poems contained in the Complete Poems, which includes most of his poetry. The Masque of Reason and The Masque of Mercy, appearing at the end of the Complete Poems, are not included in the study because they are allegorical poem-plays of the Job and Jonah stories respectively. While the study is confined primarily to an interpretation of the poems themselves, important critical studies relating to the themes are included

A Comparison of the Libraries of Selected Small and Large Schools in South Dakota

The development of the high school library in our nation’s schools can be divided into three definite steps. The early schools in the United States had no libraries. This phase was followed by an era in which schools purchased some books for students to read, but chiefly as a recreational activity. The third step in the evolution is the concept that the modern high school library should be an intellectual library. Many schools have made progress in this present phase of library development. This survey was conducted to compare the physical aspects of libraries of small schools with those of larger schools. This comparison was in terms of housing, books, finance, and personnel. This survey was made to determine the condition of the libraries in the selected schools as a sample of the libraries in schools of the state. In seeking to determine the status of selected high school libraries in South Dakota, this study surveyed and compared the two groups of schools as they compared with each other and their relationship to the standards set up by the South Dakota State Department of Public Instruction and their relationship to a limited number of points from the American Library Association standards wherever these standards were definite. The research paper has shown what physical facilities exist in these selected schools. In order to be able to form any conclusions from these results, it is necessary to compare these schools with the standards of South Dakota, American Library Association, and with each other

A Quantitative Method for the Study of Pollen and Spores in Bog Sediments

A filtration method involving a membrane filter for the collection and subsequent microscopic examination of weighed, treated samples is presented. The filter and the sample collected upon it are both mounted for microscopic examination. The filter permits sufficient light passage for identification of spores and pollen upon its surface. This method permits a more accurate transfer of weighed samples from centrifuge tubes to microscope slides

Inmate Sincerity via Community Reentry

While numerous states have programs within their prisons, community reentry-to-society is a topical area of focus. These programs require little operational funding but have a direct impact on rehabilitation of inmates. Reentry often involves outside volunteers who share invaluable lessons with inmates. With the use of precious correctional resources at issue perpetually, this study is important in examining the validity of a portion of the reentry application forms used in an Arkansas state reentry program. Findings should be of use to corrections officials, researchers and those with any interest in rehabilitation

Message from the Editor

As teacher-scholars we do graphics. We research, manipulate, manage, evaluate, present, and apply graphics.   Recently I had the privilege of writing a scholarly paper with Frederick D. Meyers from The Ohio State University. We researched the journey of engineering design graphics and the impact it has had in the academe and on the profession. Why is this research significant? This is Fritz’s last academic activity. And he certainly knows how to do things right! Congratulations, Fritz, on being awarded the Distinguished Service Award. It is the highest award of merit given by the Engineering Design Graphics Division. This award recognizes his significant commitment to EDGD in his leadership, scholarship, and support.   Sometimes when we look forward into the future of technology we need to pause and take the time to reflect on where we have been and how valuable that experience was. We need to remember the people who work with the machines. My mantra has always been “It’s not the machines; it’s your human capital - your people - who are the most critical resources for success.”   So while writing this paper with Fritz, I spent time reflecting on the journey traveled by many in the graphical arena. As I researched the history of EDGD, I found that Judith Ellen Olson De Jong, wife of the 1988 Distinguished Award winner Paul S. DeJong of Iowa State University, used her editorial and typing skills and an IBM Selectric typewriter to prepare camera-ready copy manuscripts of the Engineering Design Graphics Journal and the manuscript for three editions of the 400-page college textbook “Engineering Graphics.” We have come a long way since the IBM Selectric typewriter.   I am sad to say that Judith Ellen Olson De Jong, 72, of Ames, died Saturday, Feb. 3, 2007 at the Israel Family Hospice House in Ames, Iowa. We send our prayers to the family and appreciate the dedication of Paul and Judith to our ASEE division.   This volume of the Journal includes three articles submitted by Engineering Design Graphics Division members. The articles in this volume received a 25% acceptance rate. One of the articles in this issue is the Chair’s Award, which recognizes the outstanding paper published in a previous ASEE Annual Conference. The award was received by Nicholas Bertozzi of Daniel Webster College (DWC).  Nicholas Bertozzi, Chad D. Hebert, Jennifer Rought, and Charles Staniunas of DWC, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, and Clarkson University author “Implementation of a Three-Semester Concurrent Engineering Design Sequence for Lower-Division Engineering Students.” This paper communicates the impact that the new computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software has had on the teaching of mechanical drawing and engineering design at DWC. Robotic arm projects and a supersonic gun project were a part of this presentation at the ASEE Conference.   The second refereed article selected for this publication “Strategies for Bridging Learning Styles” is authored by Judy A. Birchman and Mary A. Sadowski of Purdue University. They continue to research learning styles and have found that to increase the effectiveness of teaching, graphics educators must make an effort to “bridge” the gaps created by the differences in teaching and learning styles. Instructional strategies and techniques that graphics educators can employ to teach students with different learning styles are presented in this paper.   The third article is “The Concurrent Engineering Design Paradigm is Now Fully Functional for Graphics Education” by Thomas J. Krueger and Ronald E. Barr of the University of Texas at Austin. The two major obstacles – design analysis and low-cost rapid prototyping – have now been overcome.  This paper addresses the goal of “Art to Part” becoming a realistic goal for engineering graphics education with today’s technology.   We hope you enjoy this edition.   NOTE:   The internationally-acclaimed Engineering Design Graphics Journal is a refereed academic journal that is published tri-annually and promotes activities in engineering, technology, descriptive geometry, CAD, and any research related to visualization and design throughout the United States and eight other countries. Each issue of the journal is circulated to more than 700 individuals and institutions. The Engineering Design Graphics Division is the oldest division in the American Society for Engineering Educators.   If you are interested in publishing your work in the Engineering Design Graphics Journal, please read the Manuscript Guidelines and submit your paper to the Associate Editor Dr. Nancy Study [email protected]
