typically have highunderlying ink density and students frequently cross-out strokes with a single straight line.Strokes are first processed by the cross-out recognizer. Strokes not positively identified as across-out are then classified using our extension of Peterson et al.’s method.3.3 Stroke GroupingWe have found that there are two types of errors that can be made in classifying strokes: actualerrors and contextual errors. Actual errors are straightforward, incorrect classifications, such aspart of a beam in a free body diagram that was mislabeled as an equation stroke. Contextualerrors are more subtle and depend on the situation in which a stroke appears. Consider the letter“F”, which appears frequently in both free body diagrams and equations

The lab assignments were completed as individual student assignments duringthe last 6 weeks of the 15 week semester course.The labs began with an introduction to controlling the CEENBoT™‘s stepper motors to achievebasic movement, and built upon this by integrating and controlling active sensors. The labobjectives required using bit-level C programming techniques and communication betweenmicrocontrollers to achieve robot control objectives using the integrated sensors. The labsculminated with an assignment that required students to apply the skills and sensors controlled inprevious labs to achieve autonomous wall following with feedback control. The four

This is a verysmall amount of time for a project with a huge impact for everyone on campus.Participants were given only four guiding questions to start the conversations. 1. What does the classroom of the future look like? 2. What technologies must it have? 3. What teaching strategies are technology dependent? 4. Which room(s) on campus should we upgrade first?All participants were given free range to elaborate on these questions or make other commentsand suggestions they felt were essential to the conversation.In the fall of 2016, the prototype classroom of the future had been designed based on thisfeedback and was made available for scheduling university courses

, engineering undergraduate studentsfeel uncomfortable with EM and shy away from it. The omnipresence of desktopcomputers gives students the feeling that a course which is not oriented towards computeruse is an obsolete one. Observing these difficulties, more and more teachers aim to usecomputers to assist teaching of electromagnetics. This trend started in the early 80's,when development and use of educational software running on PC's began in severalareas of electric and computer engineering curricula, including electromagnetics [1-3, 6,9-11, 16]. Several papers were published in the literature on how to present and introduceelectromagnetics to students and how to use computers in that process. A reference paperabout the use of computers in teaching
I found the various functions in this system were well integrated. I thought there was too much inconsistency in this system. I would imagine that most people would learn to use this system very quickly. I found the system very cumbersome to use. I felt very confident using the system. I needed to learn a lot of things before I could get going with the system. Please add suggestion(s) to the box below about the game design and game elements.
