The course draws upon two pedagogicalconcepts: (1) differentiated instruction, where curriculum are designed to help studentswith a variety of different skill levels and interests to succeed and grow beyond theircurrent level of mastery, and (2) project-based learning, where curriculum relies heavilyon hands-on projects such that students learn theory through application in real-worldsettings.The course walks students through idea generation, requirements specification, design,manufacturing, and

In particular, we find that the study of shame is critical against the backdrop ofcritical investigations that comment on the formation of identity in engineering students [5-8].While much of the extant literature in engineering education research regarding identity mightinform mechanisms by which institutions can instill a commitment to the engineering profession,our investigation examines the overall well-being and psychological health that occurs in theidentity

smart home technology. I. BACKGROUND The goal of NILM [1] algorithms is to identify when a load in a residence turns on or off (henceforth called an"event") only by measuring the power consumed by the residence as a whole. In the case of many commercialproducts, such as Sense [2] and Neurio [3], this is achieved by first measuring the voltage and current through the 220V line of an average residential fuse box using a spare 220 V breaker to measure the voltage and a clamp-type currentsensor. This data then is processed using event detection [4] and artificial intelligence [5] algorithm to determine whatloads are consuming power and when they are. Rather than developing a truly new NILM
