...must be ensured. This is the challenges professional engineer’s face on a daily basis, an engineer is a person who applies their knowledge in the sciences and mathematics to design and provide services required for the publics need. Engineers are abided by the code of ethics and section 77 of regulation 941 states that all licensed engineers act with the following statement “knowledge of developments in the area of professional engineering relevant to any services that are undertaken; and competence in the performance of any professional engineering services that are undertaken” [1]. Continued professional development, is a learning tool for professional to stay current and maintain their knowledge and skills related to their professional lives [7]. On the basis that an engineer’s work is to provide development for society, the Professional Engineer of Ontario should mandate a professional development program to ensure that engineers remain competent throughout their professional careers. Current practices in Canada and around the world in engineering and similar practices, and the effects of the advancement of technologies requires CPD to ensure competent engineers. Regulating and launching a CPD program easily establishes the requirements of the publics need, regulator’s need, licensee’ need, and the employer’s need. As an engineer one of the main duties that must be...

...Cross-Societal Comparison Report Introduction This cross-societal report will discuss the comparisons between the Italian family structure and the Australian family structure in regards to the gender division of household labor, family authority and paid employment and education. This report looks at literature about the two cultures from a Euro/Western point of view and does not touch on the indigenous cultures of their countries. 1. Household labor division 1.1 The Italian household’s, labor division. It is generally deemed that Italians have large families with many children. In Italy when a child is born the mother or woman of the home will re-organise her life to accommodate the new arrival. Palomba and Sabbadini (1994, as cited in Hennon & Wilson, 2008) calculated that the arrival of each child will add an extra hour a day to the responsibilities of the mother. The more children an Italian family has the less time the mother has for her own basic needs. It is customary that the Italian woman reduces her hours of paid work to accommodate the needs of the family and the tasks of running a home. Instead of sharing the workload the Italian family man will increase his work commitments to accommodate the growth of the family and the loss of income (ibid). The young Italian male is raised in an environment where there are real differences in what each gender is expected to do to contribute to the home. The Italian male would not be expected to help out with *...

ATIEH (*) Associate Professor of Accounting Department of Accounting and Management Information Systems College of Industrial Management King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals Dhahran, Saudi Arabia ABSTRACT. Students at KFUPM in Saudi Arabia were surveyed to determine what they consider to be the major obstacles to successfully completing the two required courses in Principles of Accounting. The students were categorized as either accounting majors or non-accounting majors and were offered 26 potential obstacles plus one open-ended question. The study showed that the most significant obstacle was the negative attitude of students towards accounting as a difficult subject. Differences in responses of the two student groups occurred for only three of the listed obstacles, none of which were considered significant by either group. There was no correlation between the GPAs of the respondents and their views on the 26 obstacles. A comparison of the findings of this study and those of previous research is also discussed. All students in the College of Industrial Management (CIM) at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) in Saudi Arabia are required to take two courses in Principles of Accounting. The courses are designated as Acct 201 and Acct 202 and they...

...1. What types of mathematics does one need to know in order to do mathematical modeling? Beyond basic arithmetic, I do not think any type of math is absolutely mandatory to do mathematical model. The roller coaster problem, for example, could be modeled by using a simple weighted average to calculate a total thrill score based on whatever attributes of the coaster are determined important. The coasters could then be ranked. To make generalizable models that go beyond ranking a known individual items in a sample, an understanding of variables and by extension basic algebra would be needed. Many phenomena that we may want to model involve changes over a period of time. Oftentimes these changes can be best symbolized as rates. In these cases knowledge of calculus and differential equations would be useful....

Dr P.M. Ogedebe, J.A.Emmanuel, Y.Musa Dept. of Computer Science Bingham University, Nigeria Abstract This paper test students’ facebook usage and their academic performance. The paper was also intended to find how pervasive the use of facebook by University students plays a role in their academic success. A 20 question questionnaire was designed and sent out to approximately 150 students of different Universities in Nigeria. To capture the main types of University, a Federal University, a State University and a Private University cut across the nation were chosen. Of the questionnaire sent out, 81% of them were within the age of 18 to 21. The Independent variables measured how actively students used facebook, including how much time they spend on facebook, how often they update their status, post on friends’ walls, comment on others’ pages, the level of their privacy settings, and how many friends and photo albums they have. In order to accurately measure students’ academic achievement, we had student’s self‐report their in‐class participation, attendance, as well as grade point average. Six pre‐determined hypotheses were tested. First, the more time a student spends on facebook, the lower grade point average the student...
