Assessment of Learning and Its Retention in the Engineering Design Classroom: Part B — Instrument Application
(2007)This paper describes the application of the instrument developed to measure engineering design knowledge gain as a result of a course. The goal for the development of the instrument was the need for an assessment instrument ... -
Effective Design Project Management with a Spreadsheet Based Approach
(2005)The use of team projects as a way to teach engineering design is pervasive across all engineering disciplines and throughout the curriculum. The success of any design team --both in learning design concepts and performing ... -
Discretizing Continuous Problems for Faster Global Convergence
(2003)Global optimization of mechanical design problems using heuristic methods such as Simulated annealing (SA) and genetic algorithms (GAs) have been able to find global or near-global minima where prior methods have failed. ... -
A comparative study of the returns of quoted sin and non sin stocks at the Nairobi securities exchange
(University of Nairobi, 2014)Sin stocks are of increased intere st since more and more investors and fund managers avoid them while integrating social screening with their investment decisions. As a reflection of social norms, socially responsible ... -
Two glacial-interglacial cycles of lake-level change in equatorial East Africa documented by high-resolution seismic sequence stratigraphy from Lake Challa (Kenya)
(University of Nairobi, 2004)A high-resolution (3.5 kHz) reflection seismic survey of Lake Challa (Kenya-Tanzania), a 97-m deep volcanic crater lake on the lower East slope of Mt. Kilimanjaro, revealed at least 215 meters of acoustically stratified ... -
Paleosecular variation of plio-pleistocene lavas from the Loiyangalani region of Kenya
(University of Nairobi, 2008)The data reported here is part of a study of Pliocene-Pleistocene lavas in Kenya to document the paleosecular variation and time-averaged geomagnetic field direction near to the Equator. We sampled 32 sites (10 oriented ... -
Ionospheric current system over the African region and East Asian region as observed by Magdas stations (invited)
(University of Nairobi, 2010-12-17)The MAGnetic Data Acquisition System (MAGDAS) is the global real-time magnetometer array operated by the Space Environment Research Center (SERC), Kyushu University. This array includes two latitudinal chains; one is along ... -
A Compromise Method for the Design of Parametric Polynomial Surrogate Models
(2005)This study presents a compromise approach to augmentation of response surface (RS) designs to achieve the desired level of accuracy. RS are frequently used as surrogate models in multidisciplinary design optimization of ... -
Nutraceutical phyto-agrobiodiversity among Lake Victoria basin's smallholdings revealing dietary diversity
(University of Nairobi, 2012)"Nutraceutical Plant-Agrobiodiversity" (NCPAB) with a multi-meaning implication as applied in our current research project context is a less commonly used term than is dietary diversity. On one hand, NCPAB may be taken as ... -
