List the reason(s) why you are taking the course and if the course met your expectation.I took it because it sounded interesting and it is. I did not expect so much work though. Some of thematerial taught was very complex.This is my second time to take it. I continued to learn new and interesting material. The courseexceeded my expectations.I am taking this course because solar energy technology is improving and I find this topic very interestingand useful for the future.Technical elective for a mechanical technology degree.

Ni80Fe20 has excellent magnetic and electricalproperties, however, the mechanical properties of electrodeposited NiFe have not been studiedextensively, thus providing an excellent opportunity for upper-level STEM students to engage inrelevant, material’s oriented laboratory experiences.Electrodeposition is the process used in electroplating, whereas electroplating is the process ofusing electrical current to reduce metal cations—an atom or group of atoms carrying a positivecharge—in a solution and coat a conductive object with a thin layer of metal3. The primaryapplication of electroplating is to deposit layer(s) of a metal having some desired property(example, abrasion and wear resistance, corrosion protection, lubricity

Challenge-based instruction serves as amechanism for students to develop these skills and abilities by framing classroom instructionaround a challenge or set of challenges. A challenge problem, introduced at the beginning of a Page 23.281.2course or topic, provides an introduction to the major concepts that will be presented as a part offormal learning. The major concepts are thenpresented in a classroom setting with thechallenge(s) serving as a focal point. Studentsare then required to identify the fundamentalmechanics

The simulation produces two ofthese inputs, one for the left side and one for the right side of the simulated system. Both values arepropagated straight into the FL controller. The Fuzzy Logic controller contains two input membershipfunctions (MF). The functions are identical, but one processes the left sensor inputs and the otherprocesses the right sensor inputs. Five linguistic variables were used as: {VS, S, M, W, VW } denotingVery Strong , Strong , Medium, Weak, and Very Weak. An input falling within the VS membershipcategory indicates and object is very close, and conversely an input within the VW membership categorymeans an object

An examination of recent summaries of work ongender and race helps reveal these patterns.AAUW (formerly the American Association for University Women)’s recent summary of criticalresearch10 on gender in STEM disciplines describes six common types of research: 1)examinations of gender-based theories of intelligence and how promotion of a “growth mindset”over a “fixed mindset” can help “protect” (p. 33) girls and women from various forms ofstereotype; 2) examinations of stereotype
