The CCLI NSF grant obtained bythe University of Hartford is entitled “Machine Learning Laboratory Experiences for IntroducingUndergraduates to Artificial Intelligence”. The goals of this grant are: (a) Highlight the bridgethat machine learning provides between AI and modern software engineering, and (b) Introducestudents to an increasingly important research area, thus motivating them to pursue research inthis area9.

Within this context we added a module to teach the aboveprinciples of sensor mesh networking, combined with a single lab experience. The objectives ofthe module were that students should • Be cognizant of the evolution and need for sensor-mesh networking in embedded systems • Be cognizant of the features and constraints of mesh networking systems. Including current and emerging standards. • Be able to describe and work with the principles of implementation (networking, routing

speed has been achieved, for particles that aredropped in a viscous medium, it takes a finite time interval and a finite displacementbefore they reach terminal speed. Thus, in laboratory experiments, for example, theapplication of Stokes law first requires the determination of when and where terminalvelocity is achievable. During the time preceding the attainment of terminal speed,however, the nature of the drag force is not known, a priori. One needs to try other formsof damping.Quadratic damping. From dimensional analysis, it is determined that the drag force FDon a smooth sphere of diameter d, moving through a viscous and incompressible fluid ofmass density ρ and viscosity µ is given by2

reduction factors used in design standards account for most of these errors. The exception is idealizing a structure that behaves between two extremes (e.g., semi-rigid connections, semi-flexible diaphragms). These exceptions, however, can be addressed by performing analysis on the two extremes and designing based on the most severe conditions. 2. Assumptions inherent to the analysis method or design equations. Every analysis method and design equation incorporates some assumptions. An example is the expression for shear capacity of a reinforced concrete beam without stirrups; that equation is an empirical lower bound based on laboratory tests. The load and strength reduction factors used in design standards account for these
