This applied research is concerned with a study of an example automotive seating railstructure. Seat structures, one of the key components, as they withstand the weight of passenger,holds the seating foams and other assembled important components such as side airbag and seatbeltsystems. The entire seating assembly is supported firmly and attached to the bottom bodywork ofthe vehicle through the linkage assembly called the seat rails

Maria wasdesigned to: (1) make students want to ask her questions, (2) answer student questions, and (3)provide emotional support to students. Maria's implementation focuses on achieving these goals.To make students want to ask questions, Maria is relatable and easy to access. To make sureMaria was able to answer questions, she was programmed with the answers to many commoncomputer science and general knowledge questions. She can also walk students through morecomplicated issues, like finding the cause of a NullPointerException. Finally, to provideemotional support to students, Maria will give students tips on how to improve their score onprogramming assignments and will congratulate

of these more difficult topics [1-15].The discrete-time equivalent of the impulse response, the unit sample response, can bejust as onerous for students to understand, since it’s regularly viewed as “just a computersimulation” and not related to anything that’s practical or happening in the real-world.To illustrate this point, for several years, the authors have presented to students a questionsimilar to, “In your own words, define the term, impulse response.” The average score onthis question was routinely the lowest of any of the questions on the Signals & Systemsfinal examination.

To preparefor class, the LAs are assigned reading and must respond to a specific prompt that connects to theweekly reading and asks them to reflect on their learning and practice in writing. This process isintended to help them connect the three program elements and build a broader understanding oftheir own learning and pedagogical practice.

A bruteforce approach to tutoring learners with mastering a knowledge domain is also described. Theresults of student node tracking are also reported.Constructivist theory of education is to assist students with the construction of their ownunderstanding of a knowledge domain. Bruner [1] considered knowledge of a domain to beembedded in a structure and “grasping the structure of a subject is understanding it in a way thatpermits many other things to be related to it meaningfully. To learn structure, in short, is to learnhow things are related.” As stated by Montfort, et al. [2] these structures are

programming.IntroductionAlthough most engineering faculty and professionals view computer programming as an essentialpart of an undergraduate engineering curriculum, engineering students do not always share thisviewpoint. In fact, engineering students outside of computer and electrical engineering may notrealize the value of computer programming skills until after they have graduated and advanced intheir career [1]. Failure to find value in computer programming may have negative consequencesfor learning. Indeed, engineering students who do not view programming as interesting or usefulshow poorer performance on tests of programming concepts than students who do [2]. This findingis consistent with theories of technology acceptance [3-4] that emphasize perceived usefulness

Moreover, university engineering programs that are accredited byABET are required to meet these objectives. In their recent redevelopment of the student outcomescriteria, ABET [1], [2] identified seven primary outcomes for students. Of these, items two andfour focus on holistic engineering, emphasizing global cultural, social, environmental, andeconomic factors.To address all of the critical aspects of engineering projects, students must successfully analyze therequirements, synthesize information, and evaluate several design options for a given problem.These cognitive skills match well with Bloom’s

Many methods are used for building occupancy simulation, out of which agent-based is popularfor the system in which there is high interaction in its components, and it is necessary to model it.There is an agent who represents an occupant, and the dynamic process of occupants is simulatedrepeatedly over time to generate the complex and intriguing emergent behavior [1].

Ostensibly, this sequence helps build the learner’s ability to analyze real worldengineering problems and design solutions. However, the text and diagrams of a book oftencannot accurately represent the look, complexity, and flow of real-world problems, nor can theyaccount for the inherent ambiguity and alternative design pathways of solutions [1]. Alsoinherent in the design of such textbook problems is the fact that they are intended to support thedidactic, lecture-based method that is commonly

as RX on the Arduino and as TXon the ESP8266. Since the ESP8266 is a 3.3 V device, the signal coming from TX on theESP8266 to RX on the Arduino will never be above this voltage, so this signal is safe to connectto the Arduino powered at 5 V. However, since the Arduino is powered at 5 V, the signalcoming from TX on the Arduino to RX on the ESP8266 will be at this voltage, and this signal istoo high for the ESP8266 powered at 3.3 V. So, a voltage divider must be employed to lower thevoltage of this signal to a value that is safe for the ESP8266 to process. Connecting the TX signalfrom the Arduino to a circuit consisting of a 1 kW resistor in series with a 2 kW resistor willdivide this 5 V signal. The value of the voltage across the 1 kW
