Among other assignments, a midterm presentation and report serve aspractice and a chance to iterate towards the final products, which include an executive summary,an on-line juried presentation, an in-person poster-and-pitch day, and a final report.Feedback. It is well established that constructive feedback is enormously valuable, particularlyif certain conditions are met: It should come from a respected source, it needs to be relativelyimmediate, and it should be delivered with thoughtful clarity from a “more knowledgeable other”(Salalahi, 2019). Further, the recipient(s) ought to be in a receptive and ideally solution-orientedframe of mind (Stone & Heen, 2014). Throughout the capstone experience, teams benefit fromfeedback

course I and course II engineering courses at theinstitution. Although the proposed lab experiment(s) can be used as a smooth transition between any circuit analysiscourses that are offered as sequences in engineering curricula, they are also helpful in making a bridge between thetopics of DC and AC Analysis in a single circuit analysis course. This paper proposes that for a course sequence case,the assignment of RL and RC passive filters as the final experiment of the course I would serve as a smooth transitionbetween the course sequences.To explain the concept of passive filter, oscilloscope, function generator, and network analyzer equipment must beintroduced. If the mentioned equipment is presented at the end of course I, course II

across the IP network. This TS stream is then loaded into IP packets (TransportStream over IP (TSoIP)). Assuming that IP packets have a 1500 byte MTU, and since TS packets are fixedat 188 bytes, only 7 TS packets can be encapsulated into an IP packet. The resulting IP packet is 1316 bytes,not including headers.Note that encapsulating TS packets into the IP packet increases the rate of the TS stream as a result ofthe addition of headers (RTP/UDP/IP/MAC headers). We assume that half of the video surveillance cameras(26 cameras) are 1MP (1280*720) IP cameras that consume about 1 Mb/s per camera (assuming H.265encoder) at full resolution (for the mainstream). Each of the remaining 26 surveillance cameras is assumedto be using a second sub-stream

The data collection can be done automatically bycreating automation Python script that uses Paramiko library. This Python script allows users toaccess the Pi, collect target file(s) and save it to the assigned local server’s destination.Results Figure 7: Virtual desktop interfaceThe test was conducted on both hardwood floor and a short carpet floor.

the second tie connecting the supports and the buildpart, as suggested by the AM Scenario lessons on the 3DEduspace. The data for the AM processwas then input, and the structural restraints assigned. The chamber temperature was set to thedefault of 298 K, while the melting temperature of Ti-6Al-4V was set to 1300K. The AMparameters can be found in Table 3. For this scenario, a clamp was applied to the bottom face ofthe build plate, and both supports were assigned a fixed displacement with no rotation. Theinitial increment for the thermal and static steps were set to 150 s, while the maximum incrementwas set to 1000s. The simulation checks were performed in order to ensure no complicationswould occur, and then the simulation for both the

, which is commonly used in suchapplications. It is important to have a charging controller to prevent destruction of the battery.The charging controller has a 5 volt and 1 ampere rated input and output, which is enough tocharge one 18650 battery. It has a red led on board so that user can see when the battery ischarging. Based on the charging controller current output and the 18650’s capacity the user canexpect to have it fully charged in 4 hours. That sounds like a lot, however, in emergencysituations, the battery does not need to be fully charged. Theoretically, to charge a modernsmartphone up to 10%, you would only need to generate power for 15 minutes. Figure 4 - Diagram of the electric circuit used in the design.The

The rotational motion ofthe lead screw translates the crosshead to apply force to a specimen; the force is measured by aload cell and then interpreted using a calibration factor via a microcontroller. Typically, materialstesters have a vertical orientation where the crosshead translates vertically. When doing initialresearch, the team researched a vertically oriented testing machine, but determined to utilize ahorizontal design after looking into various inexpensive horizontal testers for basic application;most benchtop, low-cost machines are only capable of testing in tension, mostly made of plastic,and some can be powered by a motor, generally utilizing an S-Type load cell.
