This program willbegin classes in Fall 2023. Four lab courses are planned to be taught in the manufacturingfacility, Lane Innovation Hub. They are an introductory manufacturing processes lab, a coursethat combines CAD software and manufacturing processes, a more advanced manufacturingprocesses lab, and an electronic circuits lab

. Having the tools towork with Riemann sums, we were not only able to devote sufficient time to the topic, butstudents were able to “get their own hands dirty” by constructing sums themselves, thus (intheory) deepening their understanding of the topic.Planned ResearchThe question at the heart of this research is whether a calculus course that spends specialattention to the development of a Riemann-sum based conception of the definite integral caninfluence calculus students to understand the definite integral in terms of Riemann sums. Toanswer this question, I plan to gather data in two stages.First, I will administer a survey (as in Jones3) consisting of four questions relating to students’conceptions of the definite integral. This survey will be

What kinds of artifacts and letters do we have to tell his and the Canal’s story? Weasked an AmeriCorps volunteer to look through the boxes, files, and microfilm to see exactlywhat we had at hand.

Thefocus of research in the field of robotics is shifting from controlling a single robot towards multi-robotic systems that work together, especially heterogeneous systems2. These types of systemspromote better performance, broader space coverage, and improved energy utilization, specificallyin aerial-ground systems3. Controlling an aerial-ground team of robots requires precise high-leveltask planning and robust and fast coordination mechanisms.

Understanding NERC CIP compliance: The NERC CIP standards have been developed to protect the power system against a wide range of cybersecurity aspects, and cover physical security, network security, incident response plans, configuration management, and vulner- ability assessments. It has now become mandatory for energy utilities to comply with these standards against the growing threats. At SG-REAL, the students are able to practice these CIP standards on real systems, learn how to generate data, and report it accordingly in times of an incident.7 SummaryCyber-physical security-related incidents against critical power grid infrastructures are becomingmore and more
