decided that cold air wouldbe a better option to be noticeable in all conditions and clothing types. To achieve this, a vortextube is used to convert the compressed air into cold air. For the air to be noticeable from at least 6feet away, the ideal velocity out of the nozzle needs to be 1.5-2 m/s. Because of this, a 100 SCFMEXAIR vortex tube was used for this design. The breech simulation already uses an air compressorfor the other operations, so a branch hose will be taken off the compressor to provide air for thevortex tube.With the original visual recoil system already finished, the team decided that for not only ease ofuse but also ease of manufacturing, the ring would be modified to fit the vortex tube and compo-nents needed

the experiences the remote is transmitting to, the communicationprotocol broadcasts an incrementing numerical value to determine whether the experience is onor off. By using modular arithmetic, a value can be set for the number of times the button can bepressed before it gets reset back to state zero. For example, assume that there are 6 specificsections of the History Wall that need to be illuminated by our lighting array. The remote carriedaround by the client will constantly increment by 1 to an arbitrary limit based on the computepower of the ESP-32’s Arm based architecture. On the controller side of the history wall, it willreceive whatever value is being sent by the remote, divide by 7 (the number of sections neededper the assumption

microcontroller model was programmed in C to control LED strips as well as LEDsegmented displays, illustrating data flow paths and displaying binary register values,respectively. Due to the mechanical build and the number of LEDs, monitoring and managingsystem temperature became critical. As the model was designed to be wall-mounted, the ability 7to remotely change the instructions became essential leveraging the ESP32's built-in BluetoothLow Energy (BLE) capabilities to accept and apply operator changes wirelessly.The basic function of software includes the following: • Allow the system to connect remotely to an external Operator Interface • Monitor temperature and Fan control

unbiased evaluation of modelperformance. The training set constituted 70% of the data, while 20% was reserved for validation and 10% for testing. These preprocessing steps ensured that the models were trained on a diverse and well-prepared dataset, allowing forreliable performance comparisons across SegNet, U-Net, and YOLO-Seg. As shown in Table I, the dataset was efficientlylabeled using Roboflow, a free and user-friendly annotation tool. Its intuitive interface eliminates the need for specializedtraining, making it accessible even to users with minimal technical expertise. TABLE I S UMMARY OF B LOOD C ELL DATASET

we are constructing the dimensions of the column. Using less material will decrease the overall cost of constructing the column(s) while maintaining a strength that conforms to the necessary specifications. While other materials, especially the A36 Steel, are comparable in price considering the material that would be needed, high-strength concrete maintains a good balance between GWP, cost, strength, and amount of material necessary to withstand the applied load.Responses, such as above, demonstrates that the student team gained an understanding of thetrade-offs in material selection by considering multiple factors (GWP, cost, and materialproperties). They use data-based reasoning to justify their choice
