Someone who works for the American Foundation for the Blind might be opposed to an increase in EV’s becauseelectric vehicles are quieter than cars using gas, which poses a hazard to blind people who rely on their hearing tocross streets and parking lots.c.The Bolivian Government would be split between those who want to make a profit by exploiting the lithium andthose who want to protect the natural environment. Also, the government would have to consider the losses associatedwith the decrease in tourism that would follow if they allow drilling in the Salar de Uyuni and the correspondingeconomic problems for citizens who make a living by

In the course ELET 6342“Modern Control Systems Applications”, the discussion would instead move to the use of theLinear-Quadratic Regulator (LQR) formulation to design optimal controllers. For example,using equation (4) a meta-state q(t) is assembled and found to satisfy the system of equations

Presentations are very motivational and instrumental providedthat the students are trained about the supporting documentation and presentation specifications,requirements, principles, etc. While poster presentation is easily handled by most HS students,oral presentation and Q&A sessions for judges can really motivate the students for betterpresentation and subject comprehension.
