stablished eitherusing a Bluetooth wireless or a USB cable.In order to program Aksense the students only have to know the basic commands toactivate various components, such as LED and RGB. For example, using Chrome SerialTerminal if the command “G” is sent to Aksense the RGB will turn Green. Similarly, ifwe press the Push button switch on Aksense, character “S” will be displayed on theterminal. If the user send character “P”, then the current value of the voltage set by thepotentiometer is displayed.Figure 1: Basic communication between Aksense and a PC (or smartphone) usingpre-assigned command lines (e.g., “R” to turn the RGB RED).Figure 2(a) depicts Aksense’s PCB.

setting clear expectations, students feel that this assignment is achievableand therefore increases their sense of competence and expectancy.ConclusionOverall, this assignment helped students make a connection between the highly theoretical topicsof the course to real-world applications. The assignment is low-stakes and is not intended to takemore than an hour to complete. The students in the course have achieved the learning objective ofthe assignment. With the presentation component, they are exposed to their own application aswell as the applications selected by their classmates.References[1] S. A. Ambrose, M. W. Bridges, M. DiPietro, M. C.

intrapersonal and interpersonal skill development, diversity andinclusion, group dynamics, and group development.The students frequently reported how concepts like the SBI feedback model [38] have supportedthem greatly with the development of their intrapersonal and interpersonal skills. The SBI modelhelps deliver more effective feedback because the students focus their feedback on specificsituations (S) and behaviors (B), and then outline the impact (I) that these behaviors had on them. “I adore the SBI model. Using it forces me to rethink the situation before sharing feedback which gives me an opportunity to evaluate exactly what the impact on me really was. Secondly, I have found that people are more receptive to the feedback

Using theMELearn ELMS, a marked improvement in student learning and mastery of the fundamentalconcepts, as measured by exam scores, has been documented for three engineering courses. Mostrecently, a new feature was added to the system that allows students to enter appropriate equationsas answers. The problems were designed to encourage student familiarity with identifyingappropriate equations and using a system of equations to solve for various dependent variables, anexample being, deriving an equation for thermal efficiency of complex systems.References[1] R.

appears in our classroomDropping the worst homework is a very common practice intended to increase the overall score ofa course section. One assumes that doing so will help increase the grade of each and every studentin the classroom. It is important to define that by score at a given stage we mean the ratio betweenthe number of points attained up to that stage and the maximum number of points attainable up tothat stage. Mathematically this score is # o f points attained by student S(%) = × 100. Maximum # o f points attainableThe maximum number of points attainable depends on the moment in the course that this score iscomputed

A description of the PFD is given in Section 1.4. The equipment will be provided but you must develop the experimental procedure. You will determine whether it is possible to reliably and accurately use the PFD (the model) to predict the pressure drop in real piping systems (the prototypes). First you should determine whether you can achieve full similarity between the model and prototype(s). Then you should assess the accuracy of your experiment by comparing it with the known solution described in Section 1.3. The variable of

These categoriesallowed us to organize the information collected during the interviews into a single figure basedon a plan of study flow chart that has been used in the ME department for many years. Figure 1shows this flow chart in which each of the TC categories is assigned a color. The colored band(s)contained in a course box indicate which types of TC are required within that course.
