that would be relatively lightweight, inexpensive, andreadily available. In our case we chose fiberglass wool, which meets the criteria and is obtainableat a local hardware store. 4 Simulations: To help with calculations and guide a more self taught process a MATLABscript was written to explain each parameter and run the calculations for the theoretical design.This allowed for students to see where the numbers were coming from instead of google-ing adesign calculator to do the work for them. For this project we set the frequency to 435MHz. Thisfrequency is a usable HAM frequency that allows us to openly test our antenna. Note however,the RF analyzer source is extremely low power and thus

).Certainly all academic institution types have a role to play in HPC and CI education. This paperis focused on the deployment of a HPC cluster at a Predominantly Undergraduate Institution(PUI). At a PUI the engagement of students in research projects is mostly from theundergraduate ranks which is markedly different from research intensive university. The idea ofundergraduate research (UGR), if unfamiliar, may seem like a stretch, but Kuh3 and others4-5have observed the positive effect of improved persistence in college courses generally and inSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) courses in particular, for thosestudents involved in UGR.This paper is in a series of reports about progress of high performance computing at UCO

programming in general, they do notalways provide broad opportunities to apply this knowledge in an engineering or physicsenvironment. This is similar to the required writing courses that students complete as part of theirfreshman general education core. While these courses teach the mechanics of writing, it is in abroad spectrum and not always applicable directly to writing in a technical field.Students in the traditional physics and applied physics tracks at UCA are required to complete a3-hour introduction to programming course offered in the Department of Computer Science. Thiscourse currently uses Python as the programming language of choice. Students are required todevelop code for an end-of-semester project of their choosing. While the course

on their interest during the welcoming session.Students interested in Physics and Engineering are encouraged to attend the special sessionprepared by the department of Physics, Engineering, and Astronomy. Details about the sessionare presented in the following section.Engineering Physics Special Laboratory SessionsThe Engineering Physics laboratory session changes every year. The goal is to keep the contentfresh, and interesting for the campers. “Find a solution to a real-world problem” is the themeused while selecting the project for the summer camp. For the 2016 summer camp, the problemwas decided to be: How do you deliver a payload from a high-altitude, and track it so it will notbe lost? In order to simulate this problem the students

opportunity to calibrate an instrument against tabulated values fromnature.Design of ExperimentsA key idea from metrology and quality measurements that has long been part of EP Lab is theDesign of Experiments (DOE). This approach allows the researcher to model a complex processbased on a relatively small amount of empirical data. The DOE method is a key part both the SixSigma11 and the Certified Quality Engineer12 certifications. In EP Lab, students develop a two-level, three-factor, full-factorial model of a catapult (i.e. each combination of “high” and “low”settings for the three inputs is used). As reported in our earlier work,1 with our recognition ofDOE as a key component in metrology and measurement quality, we added a term project todevelop a

. According to the Natural Resources Defense Council, “US datacenter electricity consumption is projected to increase to roughly 140 billion kilowatt-hoursannually by 2020, the equivalent annual output of 50 power plants, costing American businesses$13 billion annually in electricity bills and emitting nearly 100 million metric tons of carbonpollution per year.” [13] How may we reduce electric consumption while increasing capacity instorage and communication? Finding the right data involves not only increased search capacitybut also involves advanced artificial intelligence (AI). Can we find a more effective andpowerful AI scheme than traditional computing can offer? Shor’s algorithm has shown thatquantum computers can break cryptographic protocols
