. The physical properties of the accelerometer included sensitivity of102 mv/(m/s^2), a frequency range of 0 to 100 Hz, and a 10 Hz phase response of under 3°1.The accelerometer contains a voltage regulator integrated within its structure. This allows forexternal power to be supplied by any source within the 10 to 30 VDC excitation range. Thechange is capacitance is detected by a capacitance bridge where each arm of the bridge functionsas a capacitance divider. The outputs of the bridge are then amplitude modulated signals that aredirectly proportional to the changes in capacitance. A series of diodes and capacitors within theaccelerometer are used to demodulate the signals which are then summed, amplified, and filteredto provide a voltage

In the 1990’s,ABET, the engineering accreditor of postsecondary degree-granting programs, revamped theprogram outcomes and assessment criteria to improve quality by implementing the EngineeringCriteria 2000 (EC2000).5 Beginning in 2001, all accredited engineering programs were requiredto demonstrate that their graduates possess the following eleven skills (known as a-k): ≠ Ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering; ≠ Ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to

He then suggeststhat an important element is required, this is, teaching kids that talent takes time to develop andrequires continuous effort.The notion of continuous effort is based on work by the Stanford psychologist, Carol S. Dweck.8In her work, she looks at “growth mindset”, which believes in time and effort, versus a “fixedmindset”, or the belief that achievement results from abilities we are born with. In her studies,children praised for their intelligence quickly became discouraged when given a version of an IQtest, contrasted to children that were praised for their efforts, who improved their final scores.This work, combined with the extensive work at the University of Pennsylvania, helps to set thestage for the search for
