This experiment detect s the electricalsignals of the brain in response to light stimulation of the eyes.Advantages of using the Biomedical WorkbenchThe illustration above shows how simple the Biomedical Workbench software together with theElvis-II plus hardware platform is to acquire real time biomedical signal. One advantage of usingthe software is to be able to create multiple virtual channels simultaneously with individualfiltering parameters from one acquired real time signal. This feature is especially important foranalyzing EEG signal because

NC machines have earned a certain level ofreputation in the manufacturing arena through their capabilities including the quality of the work.The question has now been formed to read ‘Is there a novel application of these machines thatcould make them more valuable and pave a way for an entrepreneurial opportunity’. Thestudents were given a lecture and notes on effectual thinking. They were given an additionalopportunity to produce a component and observe the capabilities of the machines. They werethen requested to identify the special feature(s) and design a product that would exploit thisfeature in its manufacturing process. They

software was extensively used and new ideascame up. The students then realized that the software could have been used earlier as a basis forfinding new ideas as well.3.2 Selection of conceptsPotential use of the softwareAfter a number of concepts have been created, a screening and ranking process begins, in orderto determine which concept(s) to develop further. Even at an early stage, material cost orproperties like fracture toughness or optical transparency can guide the consideration ofconcepts. It is therefore a huge advantage to have a concise, coherent and reliable source of datacompiled in the software. A good database should provide access to properties of all materialfamilies; polymers, elastomers, glasses, ceramics, metals and hybrids

required for the water source (a 12” wide weir capable of producinga 20” head and a variable flow rate of up to 12 gal/s) greatly limited the number of designs thatthe mechanical engineering students could complete.As a result, the team of faculty and staff decided that the mechanical turbine design would berequired to be a Kaplan turbine. The team implemented a drive train to transfer / transform theenergy from the turbine to a rotor based on the chain and sprocket drive of a ten-speed bike. Inthe process, the mechanical specification for the turbine shaft was also defined. The properties ofthe transmission system became constraints for the design project that were provided to both thegenerator and turbine design groups. This modification

experiment’s main goal is to analyzereal ECG signals – either acquired by the ADS1298ECG, or by the analog ECG amplifier builtin Experiment #2.If using the ECG amplifier built in Experiment #2, that amplifier’s output can be directlyconnected to the OMAP’s analog input, which will allow it to be further sampled and displayedby winDSK8’s oscilloscope function. The ECG signal acquired by ADS1298ECG follows asimilar path, but now the signal is sampled before it is connected to the OMAP L-138baseboard. Regardless the signal acquisition tool used, both techniques allow the signal to bedisplayed on a computer screen, which will then permit the students to observe the normal sinusrhythm in the ECG waveform and the naturally varying heart rate.In addition, we

As shown in Tables A1-A6, information could be locatedfor several attitudinal measures. Many instruments were also easily identified for assessingknowledge, behaviors, and professional skills. Fewer instruments were located for assessing thelearning environment or using institutional data to measure various outcomes. One trend thatoccurred in the early 1990’s and 2000’s was the development of numerous concept inventoriesintended to improve classroom teaching and learning. During this time, the need for valid andreliable measures, and the understanding of reliability

For many of the master ofengineering students, they had not studied thermodynamics for several years and several had notdone well in their undergraduate course(s).The make-up of the student body in the course created an opportunity for traditional graduatestudents who started their graduate level studies directly upon completion of their

Swithenbank, S. B., and DeNucci, T. W.AbstractA flipped classroom approach was applied to a select number of topics in a sophomore levelundergraduate Newtonian dynamics course. Although the theory and benefits of the flippedclassroom model are discussed, the primary focus of this paper is to present the approach and thepractical implementation of using this model. Advantages, such as student retention and reducedfaculty tutoring, are discussed, as well as disadvantages, such as the investment of time neededfor making the videos and the amount of time needed to learn the software. Lastly, best practicesand lessons from the experience are shared.Background and TheoryIn recent years the concept of the flipped classroom has gained popularity and has been
