since it had the highest thrust out ofthose tested. From a performance standpoint, the standard 2-blade propeller stood out among thebest, but another outstanding propeller type was the 2-blade injection molded toroidal propeller.It was quieter than other propellers and this is reinforcing the notion that one of the benefits ofthe toroidal propeller is its relative lower sound level. An important advancement in dronetechnology has been to decrease the noise emitted by drones, so finding a more quiet propellerdesign is an important step toward this goal.The university plans on continuing this experiment as part of an aerodynamics lab. There are acouple of ideas to expand on the tests, with the first being to experiment with different

support.Introduction“There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom.” Richard Feynman (1960)Artificial intelligence (AI) methods are revolutionizing undergraduate science, technology,engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education through early forecasting of end-of-semesteracademic performance [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]. These methods typically leverage numeric features ofstudents’ academic trajectories to train AI models. The advent of Transformer-based [7] largelanguage models (LLMs) [8, 9, 10, 11] has significantly expanded the potential for cross-domainapplications due to their extensive knowledge bases [12, 13] and complex task-solvingcapabilities through basic reasoning [9, 14, 15] and planning [16]. Fine-tuning these LLMs viatransfer

Due to the missing data for one ofthe Manual Dexterity tasks (Threading Lace), we specifically focused on analyzing theperformance in the Aiming & Catching and Balancing tasks.Future research with a more prominent and representative, randomized sample with independentdata, along with improved data collection strategies, is essential to provide more reliable insightsinto the effects of VR interventions on motor skills in children with ASD. Non-parametric testingto establish statistical significance may also be necessary. In future studies, we plan to developan immersive VR system using a

The addition of stools or step-ladders would significantly reduce the portability of the classroom kits, so we plan to revise thedirections in the lab manual for the third and highest penstock height. We will revise thedirections to instruct students to raise the upper reservoir height to six feet “or as high as you cancomfortably reach.” The exact height is not critical; we simply want students to observe thegreater turbine power output and energy storage at higher reservoir heights.V.
