students. The assumption is that thestudents will be knowledgeable about some topics, but not all. Each day consists of lectures inthe morning and a lab session in the afternoon. There are field trips, to local industry and testfields near campus to demonstrate challenges in phenomics. Table I gives a sample schedule.P3 Curriculum(1) T-Base Common Core: All P3 students take a fast-paced transdisciplinary course with ahands-on laboratory component the first year of their program. The course has two keyobjectives: 1) bring all students’ knowledge up to the same level for issues that pertain to plantphenomics, sensor engineering, and data analysis, and 2) begin the process of teaching studentsthe needed terminology to speak across disciplines. This

Associate Professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environ- ment. Dr. Zapata’s research interest is in the area of unsaturated soil behavior. She has focused her work on laboratory and field characterization of problematic soils; applications related to the hydro-thermal and mechanical behavior of soils due to static and repeated loading; modeling fluid flow and volume change of soils applied to pavement structures and residential foundation systems; and the assessment of the en- vironmental effects on soil behavior. Current research activities include the study of the effects of thermal gradients on airfield pavement structures and the characterization of fiber-reinforced clay materials. She is

Also, in the past 10 years she gained experience in teaching ME and ET courses in both quality control and quality assurance areas as well as in thermal-fluid, energy conversion and mechanical areas from various levels of instruction and addressed to a broad spectrum of students, from freshmen to seniors, from high school graduates to adult learners. She also has extended experience in curriculum development. Dr Husanu developed laboratory activities for
to improve female engineering students’learning outcomes. For example, Du and Kolmos (2007) emphasized the importance ofa friendly learning environment in collaborative learning for female engineeringstudents [23]; Stein (2014) and Goldschmidt (2016) brought up measures like contextuallearning, laboratory projects and teachers’ intervention to improve female students’self-confidence, persistence, and learning outcomes [24][25].In this study, we focus on improving female students’ learning experience by exploringtheir functional roles and how these roles were formed in a group project setting in aleading Chinese university. Similar to findings in a western context, female engineeringstudents were reported to have lower college entrance

We selected a total of 19 face-to-faceand online courses ranging from freshman to graduate course to study a wide range of studentprofiles. We excluded any course offering that had laboratory co-requisites to streamline thecomparisons for the sample set. The courses were pair (face-to-face with distance learning)according to the year and subject matter giving us nine total comparisons from 2014 through2016.

Water analysis for this first design was notperformed.Based on feedback, student in the 2011-12 GEO course worked with several faculty membersand a water laboratory manager from the local city to develop an improved water filter. Thedesign involved a single 13-gallon trash can to remove the need for multiple buckets and toprovide better stability on the islands. This time, 0.5 to 1-inch diameter gravel (1 ¼ inches high),1-5 mm diameter course sand (1 ¼ inches high), and 0.15-0.3 mm diameter fine sand (13 incheshigh) were used. The effective filtration height was similar to the 2010-11 design. Sand waswashed and separated using mesh and washing techniques. Three filters were built with severalof the islanders.

more knowledge than those whoare not engaged in their coursework. There are numerous pedagogical methods used to activelyengage students in their learning such as: projects in and out of the classroom, laboratory work,jigsaw learning, service learning, field trips, and research. Other methods of classroominstruction also engage students in learning by simpler more subtle means, such as: randomlyselecting students during a lecture to answer questions or give their opinion on a topic, student-produced journals, peer review, and through faculty sharing stories related to the course topicsfrom their own work experience. The goal of this paper is to examine the use of the latter. Doesteaching with the incorporation of course topic-related stories

The project will continue with the collaboration of students, high school educators, and theCollege of Engineering.9. ConclusionsThe process of creating a tool prototype with 3D modeling software, printing said prototype, thensand casting the final part, is a viable and affordable option for the rapid manufacturing of manytools. However, several factors must be considered if a business or individual would like to makeuse of said model. First, the size of the tool should be considered.

is used to compare the TCP and UDP for both one-hop andtwo-hop connections. Since TCP requires retransmission for packet loss, we use the number ofretransmission to compare two network configurations. Since unreliable transport layer protocolUDP does not require retransmission, packet loss is used instead for the comparison.For the performance measurement collection, we use open-source software tool iperf3,developed by ESnet and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Since we use 7 differentreceiving signal strength, we determine the signal strength between the client and the accesspoint by using the Linux command iwconfig for each test as close as possible. We utilizedseveral features in iperf3 using various arguments in command lines
