Servos haveintegrated gears and a shaft that can be controlled with precision. The position of a servo andhow long it holds that position is controlled by sending a PWM (pulse-width modulation). Thewidth of the square wave depends on the length of time the PWM stays high. Varying widthsproduce varying positions in the servo.[1] For this project Parallax Standard Servos were used.Two sets were used for the entrance gate to position barriers which would block the entrance if aface mask was not detected and allow access if a face

Seven racially minoritizedengineering faculty of an entrepreneurship training program participated in 60-minute semi-structured interviews to understand their sense of belonging in the program and their experiencesrelated to respect and inclusion in the program. Two themes emerged from the data: 1) reducingstructural barriers and rectifying harsh climate conditions can improve participants’ overall senseof belonging

Work2.1 AndromedaAndromeda is an interactive visual analytics tool that was originally designed to enable dataanalysts of all skill levels to explore multi­dimensional data [1]. Andromeda is available publiclyas a web application [2]. The application creates a scatterplot­like 2D visualization ofmulti­dimensional data using Weighted Multi­dimensional Scaling (WMDS) [3]. WMDS is adimensionality reduction algorithm that, given high­dimensional data and variable weights asinput, can output a corresponding low­dimensional dataset that follows a “near == similar”metaphor. The variable weights represent how WMDS prioritizes the variable’s value whenoutputting the low­dimensional dataset. This means that two points in the projected scatterplotthat are

The same report also revealed that nearly half of the respondentshighlighted a lack of awareness of LGBT+ issues in the workplace. Unfortunately, LGBTQ+marginalization is also found in academia. Research shows that LGBTQ+ students in engineeringare more disadvantaged and face greater marginalization than their non-LGBTQ+ peers [2-4].Cech and Waidzunas [2] found that LGB students in engineering navigate a chilly climate wherehomosexuality

To address the effectiveness of knowledge transfer and to make the DigitalElectronics (DE) classroom experience more productive, several pedagogical approaches such asactive learning with a hands-on approach, scaffolding, project-based learning, authentic and real-world learning, simulation within the classroom environment, and teamwork have been found tobe effective [1]-[4].

Certainly, the chronic stressors associated with poverty affect emotional andcognitive development, which leads students from poverty to experience higher levels ofdepression and anxiety; students raised in poverty also tend to be more impulsive and impatient[1]. In addition, students may not have been taught the implicit rules of etiquette and socialgraces [2], leading their interactions with peers and faculty to operate outside the academic andsocial norms. These abnormal, and generally perceived as negative interactions may produce alack of acceptance from these groups, which can harm academic performance [1].

Furthermore, aneffective mentoring relationship can improve doctoral students’ research skills and productivity[11-14]. On the other hand, ineffective mentoring from advisors can lead to graduate students’negative mentoring experience, which in turn leads to detrimental career and psychosocialconsequences, such as missed opportunities for career networking and undermining of researchconfidence [15].

The first known wind tunnel was built by Francis Wenham in 1871. Inthe subsequent years the number of wind tunnels and the facilities that housed them slowly andsteadily increased until the Wright brothers’ historic flight in 1903. The number of wind tunnelsin use took off, as it were, as their value in aerodynamic research became apparent according toAnderson [1]. Simply put, the wind tunnel is a tool used by engineers to study air flow. The original designof

impact a teacher’s experience might have onstudent performance. The bulk of the value from this paper lies in this gleaned insight.Background/MethodsGrade InflationGrade inflation is a notoriously controversial topic within the field of undergraduate education.Some of the controversy stems from a lack of definition. Richard Kamber defines grade inflationas “a reduction in the capacity of grades to provide true and useful information about studentperformance as a result of upward shifts in grading” [1]. Grade inflation hinders the ability of thestudent to accurately assess their abilities and limitations; this is true for future employers as well[1]. Grades should not be confused as measures of effort, rather as measures of performance [2
