In absolutecoordinates, the location of characteristic point 5 is, for example, x5 = X2 + r5•cos( 2+ 5) y5 = Y2 + r5•sin( 2+ 5) (1)where X2 and Y2 define the absolute location of the mass center for body 2, and 2 is the CCWrotation of body 2’s body-fixed coordinate system. In this example, if link 2 has its massdistributed symmetrically with respective to the line between its revolute joints, the body-fixedcoordinate system x-axis can be lined up with the coupler link line shown and 5 will be zero and 4 will be .

demonstrates some basic concepts of subsonic flow using a nominal 50m/s wind tunnel. A variable pitch NACA 0015 symmetric airfoil equipped with 11 surfacepressure taps spans the tunnel test section and a multi-tube water manometer board is used tomonitor the surface pressures and provides a visual display of the dynamic changes associatedwith varying angles of attack. A Pitot-static (Prandtl) tube is mounted at the front of the testsection to measure the static and impact pressures required to determine the flow velocity. Thedynamic pressure from the Pitot-static tube is measured using a Betz manometer, which isremotely observable using a webcam.The pressure from the airfoil pressure taps is measured using a Scanivalve® pressure transducersystem that

construction phase can be measured by thephysical construction that results from that phase. Clearly defined visualization(s) thatdepict the expected outcomes from each phase of construction can be generatedbeforehand and these can be embedded into the framework as shown below. For instance,in Figure 4, the two visualizations show the finished stages of construction at two phases.Any lags or setbacks in construction (in the real-time) can be compared with the pre-planned designs and faults and delays can be easily identified. This facilitates a moreconcrete evaluation and hence decision-making rather than relying on abstract or vaguemilestones.

example,according to an electromagnetic signal attenuation test performed at the U.S. National Institute ofStandards and Technology (NIST)’s Gaithersburg laboratories, the signal attenuation for ½ inchdrywall and plywood is below 1dB around 2GHz frequency band.10 However, if a house is builtusing steel frames or with a concrete structure (e.g., high-rise apartment buildings and hurricane-resistant houses), the 802.15.4 transmission performance is expected to experience greaterdegradation by the house structure than from the nearby wireless signal interference, especiallywhen the 802.15.4 signal needs to be transmitted over a long range and pass through walls. Thisis because steel frames partly reflect radio signals and create multipath

For the most part, theystated the big ideas listed in the lesson provided by the NCLT (although some identified differentbig ideas), but teachers integrated the big ideas into their learning goals, instruction, andassessment to varying degrees. This is of concern to the professional development programbecause we are interested in teachers integrating high-impact topics in nanoengineering andscience that emphasize nanoscale phenomena, rather than teachers using nanoscale phenomenaas an interesting example without any real focus on the nanoscale concepts involved. Theguiding questions for determining which nano content teachers planned to implement were: 1. Which big idea(s

After review by the College, students’ applications are the basisfor deciding eligibility. Students are informed of their acceptance to the program prior to theirreturn to campus in the fall. A deposit from accepted students has a mid-September deadline,allowing the College and Jacobs University to plan in greater detail. The size of the groupdictates whether one or two faculty will supervise the program. It is generally acknowledged byfaculty supervisors and study abroad administrators that twenty to twenty-five students is themaximum group size

hard work as being a positive or beneficial attributes. More formally,work ethic can be described as the set of beliefs, values and principles that prescribe the mannerin which individuals interpret and act on their rights and responsibilities at any given time withinthe context of work 1. The origin of work ethic can be traced back to Max Weber’s interminglingof Calvinist religious ideology and economics in the early 1900’s. Weber’s philosophy laid thefoundation for the development of the term Protestant Work Ethic 2. Since then, having a strongwork ethic has become a widely accepted and desirable trait for students and thus futureemployees 3 and entrepreneurs to possess.
