Algorithms CNNs were used as early as the 1990’s to automatically detect handwriting on checks[12]. CNNs are an iteration of artificial neural networks also called “backpropagation neuralnetworks” [13]. CNNs use “convolutional layers” that apply matrices (filters) of different valuescalled “weights” onto an image using a convolution operation. It is speculated that earlier layersin the neural network can identify low-level features such as edge gradients. With every newlayer

We would've accelerated the go-kart from 0-20 mph (and determined speed based on the rpm of the axle, which would be measured by the Arduino RedBoard) using solely the gas engine, and then done the same for solely the electric motor, recording the time needed for each. The table below shows the standard acceleration of gas and electric cars obtained from research [5] [6]. Gas Acceleration Gas Acceleration Electric Acceleration Electric Acceleration Time (s

might live around these systems and facilities and be impacted bytheir presence for decades. While these logics may have served the field for decades, we are ofthe view that moving forward, particularly in the nuclear (and other energy) field(s), these logicsare going to become increasingly impractical. This is because of the growing interest in smallerscale (eventually perhaps even personalized) energy systems sited in much greater proximity topeople and communities than have the systems of the past. As a result, there is a growing interestfrom communities that might host these systems to shape key decisions about how these systemsand facilities are designed. Despite this shift, students are given little to no formal training onhow to frame

Those with construction experiencetook on more of the installation tasks but still participated in student teams involving structuralanalysis and solar design optimization. Advanced tools were used such as ANSYSc (forstructural) and National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)’s open-source solar optimizationtools such as HOMER, along with analytical methodologies.The final system design was a 30,720-Watt grid-tie PV system with 96 solar panels, eachgenerating 320-watts arranged in 4 sub-arrays of 24 panels each, connected to 6 invertersconverting DC (Direct Current) solar power to 3-phase 208
spentseveral weeks discussing the meaning of “equitable and sustainable STEM education.” Thegroup found that developing empathy for other communities is an important and recurring themeamong curricula that are designed with equity in mind [4-6], and hands-on activities arewidespread [6-8]. In addition, STEM literacy and the integration of multiple STEM areas werecommon themes [9-13]. Among all of the articles reviewed, the team found Jackson et al.’s“Equity-Oriented Conceptual Framework for K-12 STEM Literacy” [4] to be especially relevantand helpful in guiding the development of the lesson activities. Overarching themes thatappeared repeatedly in the team’s literature review and guided the subsequent work on theproject include the following

The time and effort put into the class and this learning experience were beneficial inthe long run as we came out of the class with tangible skills and projects that aided in our learning.Rather than just being able to recreate a 3D Model, we were able to produce the model and makefurther edits to our designs s we noticed real-life flaws that we could not have expected with justa 3D figure.

'sthere has been a dramatic increase in the global demand of Li-ion batteries because they possesssignificantly higher electric energy storage capacity over other electrochemical cells. They are asuperior secondary battery (rechargeable) electric energy storage system, and are now the mainrechargeable energy storage source in devices ranging from small portable electric-powereddevices to virtually all electric vehicles. In the early 2000's notable manufacturing capacity resided in the United States, but by2010 the demand for Li-ion cell production was almost exclusively met by off-shore, sole-sourcecountries due to low-cost manufacturing. By 2009 concerns were being voiced regarding the factthat most Li-ion manufacturing was indeed located
