The S is apooled standard deviation. Therefore, d is a normalized difference between game and non-gamegroups; it is a Cohen effect size. A positive value of d would indicate that the game groupperformed better, on average than the non-game

These four perceptionskills become the thread that goes over the lecture, demonstration and drawing assignments.Purpose of Study It is agreed by educators and practitioners that freehand sketching is a critical skill fordesigners. It is required by Council of Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) to incorporateillustrative sketching in interior design curriculum (CIDA Standards). Students need to be able tocommunicate their design ideas through graphic communication skills.

departure from its intended design purpose. This enabling technology could be directly applicable (and relatively obvious) to improving the system’s function (e.g. lightweight battery with 30% more capacity). However, the ideas that we are most interested in are ones where some technology can be used to change the way to perform a primary function or meet a critical capability (e.g. capture the material expansion energy from flux capacitor super heating of the robot structure) that will provide a technology “leap” on the innovation “S” curve. 3- As a team, discuss the results of your research.

If during the final test the team encountered a problem and wanted to request a re-test,this was allowed, but their final performance grade dropped 7% each time. Of the 16 teams thatfaced this performance grading, 14 successfully raised their quarter above 6 feet, one team raisedit two feet, and one team’s design did not function.Case 2 - The main difference in Case 2’s final demonstration was that every team competed atthe same time.

These devices can be used as test generator for other neighboringcomponent(s) or response collector from them. These responses can be analyzed to identifyfaults in the system.
