Figure 2 below. The connected path in bold-red indicates thecritical path.As acting Program Manager, we routinely made revisions to our plan (by adding resources,etc.) to bring our schedule back on course if tasks were being finished late. The student wasparticularly impressed with the ability to perform immediate “what-if” scenarios andunderstood the impact of each task on the critical path, bestowing a sense of urgency andownership of those tasks. A typical project network view is shown in Figure 2: Figure 2. General example of a project in Network View: Critical Path shown in reTECHNICAL SOLUTION: Software based 3-Band Equalizer DesignThe student performed independent research on audio equalizers and human audio theory.

modulewas launched in Fall 2018 and a potential evaluation plan is also discussed.2. Elements of the moduleA need assessment was conducted at the beginning of the development process. Based on theconversations with various stakeholders and the data from course evaluation, the learningoutcomes of the GTA training module are identified as follows: (1) Identify and follow a protocol to handle students’ inquiries. (2) Use the basic functions in the learning management system (LMS) to carry out course- related tasks. (3) Communicate with students and faculty in a professional way. (4) State strategies for creating an inclusive online learning environment. (5) Describe characteristics of students at risk and take proper measures to help

development is a high priority fordealing with the climate change challenges. China witnessed a roaring development in the installedrenewable energy capacity during the period of 12th Five Year Plan (2010 – 2015), increasing from 250GW in 2010 to approximately 500 GW in 2015. Wind power and Solar energy contribute 40% and 16.5%increase respectively to renewable energy production. China’s total primary energy consumption willincrease to 15% by 2020 and 20% by 2030 as per Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) under theParis Agreement. China plans to implementseveral policy instruments to further boost renewable energydeployment in the electric power sector.The case study from China suggests that per 1 TWh expansion of Solar Photovoltaic and Wind

to take the test at all. While the spatial skills test was apart of the course grade for the freshmen classes, seniors were offered extra credit for simplycompleting the test. In future years, we plan to further incentivize the seniors to put forward theirbest effort by presenting the activity as a friendly competition between the freshmen and seniorclasses. We also plan to reach out to students beyond just the Mechanical and Civil Engineeringdepartments.Lastly, all four data points consisted of different populations of students. We plan to complete alongitudinal study with one-to-one tracking of students to yield more reliable results.Additionally, the two senior classes did not have the benefit of a spatial skills intervention intheir

this will alter theaerodynamics for the projectile. The last object to improve the wing actuation system is the slidermechanism. The original plan was to use the EOS laser sintering 3-D printer to manufacture the 54steel bar. However, due to the limitations of the machinery we decided to 3-D print the bar usingplastic. The testing of the projectile was one part of the project that we didn’t get to because ofthe limitations on the project. A wind tunnel test for the projectile would be needed in the futureto ensure the calculations and simulations are correct. Another part of the testing would have beenon the actual launching of the projectile. This also was not possible for our group
