operational purposes. Currently, technicians need to manually check these quantities, and even send oil samples to a laboratory. This project aimed at utilizing an Internet of Things (IoT)- based platform to measure these quantities remotely. In this system, oil temperature, oil level and oil permittivity are measured with custom transducers. This information is then collected and sent to a remote server that can be accessed from any computer or smart phone. This real-time information could reveal problems within a transformer or elsewhere in the power system, creating a more precise way to dispatch system maintenance. SE

Following this, after a waiting period of twoweeks, all students will be given an unannounced pop quiz about the Dayanta, with the resultsbeing compared between the groups to look at the impact of the interactive system on both short-term and longer-term memory. Given this heuristic study, the authors believe this research willcontribute to a better understanding of the use of 3D models and interactive media containingthem in undergraduate instruction.7.

Challenges associated with teaching and learning the designsoftware limited the ability of the student design teams to succeed in using the software to thedesired extent. Improvements for the following academic year involved faculty software trainingduring the summer and additional class and laboratory time dedicated to software learning usingtutorials for students during the semester.

Yet,the pass rate for CS1 courses has been reported to be as low as 67% [3]. Many possible reasonsfor high attrition have been proposed ranging from inadequate advising to poorly-designedactivities in CS1 laboratories to insufficient opportunities for meaningful practice with formativefeedback [4]. Increased student engagement in introductory programming courses may be oneroute to increasing retention in CS1 courses.Collaboration, gamification, and social interaction are considered to be three pedagogicalstrategies which aid in engaging students in learning

Course Using Design-Based Teaching ApproachAbstract: Introduction to Manufacturing Processes is one of the core courses in most mechanicalengineering, manufacturing engineering, and industrial engineering programs. The current coursecurriculum and teaching style mainly depend on the lectures for the manufacturing processes thatare aligned and synchronized with the laboratory work (project) to gain the required knowledgeand skills. According to students’ feedback for this course as well as similar courses offered at otheruniversities, the course is time intensive, involves no critical thinking, requires limited classparticipation, and is not well connected with real-world manufacturing problems
