Student response to the use of the device in the classroom was positive, although formalanalysis of student knowledge gain was inconclusive. A larger study would allow for a morecomplete examination of the application of a modular and increasingly-difficult touchstonemodel device; furthermore, specific knowledge gain goals should be assessed in order to analyzethe effect of the TM1’s use on persistent physics misconceptions.

Industrial and Systems Engineering (ISyE) in Healthcare Although ISyE was lauded in the 2014 PCAST report, engineers worked for many decades to improve the healthcare system and establish a long term partnership with healthcare providers. In the 1980’s Donald Berwick, former President and CEO of the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI), espoused that continuous improvement is a necessary solution to the ongoing problems in healthcare 2. During that decade, healthcare professionals observed an increasing amount of inefficiencies in the system which reinforced complexity and contributed to increasing costs. Two methods of improvement dominated the healthcare industry: 1) inspection and correction of problems and 2) continuous improvement

, an axial fan in a warehouse setting, it could be easily fitted with a VFD, PLC, andMODBUS cable to better and more accurately control the functions of an HVAC system.To start take a VFD from the VFD-S 230V series, these are noted for the MODBUS compatibility, andconnected it to the fan's motor. The PLC of choice is a model 1790-T16-BV0X, made by AllenBradley, for input and output. This allows it to connect to the VFD and to a computer. The MODBUScable chosen is the 8777 Multi-Conductor - Shielded Twisted Pair Cable.With this understanding of both VFDs and PLCs, it can be seen how these two devices have come toplay an important role in the automation of building systems. And with improved controls of buildsystems, energy consumption can be
