Heregularly speaks to high school students about engineering careers. Each time he did so he askedwhat they thought about such a camp. Interest was high among students, and the director likedthe idea, so it was set. The plan was to design a Bluetooth speaker, then develop hands-oneducational activities to combine with the speaker

of Indianapolis (UIndy) has partnered with the Community Health Network(CHNw) to address the food insecurity related issues among the residents of the South IndyQuality of Life Plan (SoIndy) in two community organic gardens. The goal of the Watering forCommunity Gardens project is to design and construct a watering system for the UniversityHeights community garden. Employing a Design for Six Sigma framework (DFSS) under theDesignSpine™ design model at UIndy, the team began the process by conducting interviewswith the client and interns who work in the garden. The Voice of the Customer DFSS tools thatwere utilized in this project, includes translation worksheets and KJ Analysis. These were used tohelp solicit and evaluate requirements that

These results suggest that,near the end of the course, students were more likely to set study goals for themselves.IntroductionSelf-regulated learning refers to how students control their own learning [1], [2]. Pintrichdescribes a framework for self-regulated learning based on four areas of regulation (cognition,motivation, behavior, and context) and four phases of regulation (planning, monitoring, control,and reflection) [3]. The planning phase includes setting goals and planning time and effort. Goalsetting has been shown to increase academic performance [4]. Monitoring

It also enhances their knowledgeperspective by working with other faculty to bridge content areas5.Kidd’s study also addresses potential difficulties in recruiting faculty to teach in a learningcommunity5. The factor of time required to plan and collaborate across disciplines is ofsignificance to faculty who may already be heavily scheduled. Success of student achievementand retention may also be dependent on the enthusiasm of faculty and their ability toeffectively collaborate with faculty of other subject areas5.

As shown in Table 3, we had 5 teams and 4 individual researchers. In fact, except groups 6, 8, and 9, other individual researchers are just changed the data. Groups 3, 4, and 5 essentially applied deep learning to their own data on air quality, safety, and traffic parameters.  Each week, the students were introduced to new machine learning topics, participated in update meetings, and a Friday journal meeting with all SURI participants to present their progress and see the other teams’ progress.  Students

Next, the team moved on to the ideationand conceptual design phase to develop either a design focused on retrofitting an existingtreadmill or creating a more robust treadmill design. This process, after receiving feedback at theend of a planned stage gate review, ultimately produced a novel custom treadmill design thatreduces the overall time needed to simulate different terrains during a patient's therapy session.With help from expert designers, the team came up with a custom design that will allow thetherapists to easily and safely remove slats and replace them in a

Section 6 discusses our future plans forTriQL and concludes the paper.2 BackgroundIn this section, we first introduce DataLog, an intermediate logical database language we use tocapture the generic user query to express it in other database languages. Then, we provide a quicktutorial on the database query languages TriQL supports, including SQL, MongoDB, andCypher.2.1 Introduction to DatalogDatalog is a powerful logical and declarative programming language 9 . Due to its simplicity andquery expressiveness, DataLog became the standard choice for intermediate query languagegenerated

These are discussed below.Firstly, the ability to switch the theme from dark (Figure 2a) to light (Figure 5). Different themeswere better suited to different live scenarios. For instance, when the dark theme was paired withan AR display, all black-colored areas became transparent as the Epson AR glasses

at this university, there are two required courses for all MS students, and thenthe remaining eight courses are selected by the student’s graduate committee chair along with thestudent. This structure allows for highly customizable plans of study for students, and allows themto develop discipline specific knowledge that support their future career goals. The difficulty isthat the levels of proficiency that may be determined through course-level data is ratherproblematic to assess. For instance, a course may consist of 20 students, each of whom is in his orher first semester, second, third or final semester. While it is possible to track individual studentsseparately, that approach may require some effort on the part of faculty and may
