The weekly formalmemo is required the day prior to each weekly meeting and addresses the following three areas:current progress, problems encountered and their resolution, and plan for the following week.To stay on the top of industry requirements sponsoring the project and to receive valuableengineering feedback students conduct by-weekly web conference calls with industry liaison.The oral and written reports due near the end of each semester are to concern themselves withthe progress made in each semester.

T STAR then approached MISL to provide the embedded intelligence system thatwill monitor, control, record, and report all aspects of the experiment during its year-long investigation.Three undergraduate students were assigned to the project which was delivered approximately six weeksafter grant funding was received. NASA plans to have its experiment (STRATA-1) aboard the SpaceX-9launch later this year. This paper provides an overview of the project, the students’ approach totranslating the problem statement into a functional and tested product, the lessons learned from a multi-partner development effort and an update of the project following installation and operation on the ISS.Background

She transferred into the Engineering Department as the Coordinator of Recruitment and Retention at the community college, working with faculty and students to devise a way to increase spatial visualization in all students who wanted to be engineers. Ms. Daniel was instrumental in securing a grant from the American Association of University Women to create a one-day hands-on STEM conference for 100 middle-school girls and their parents in 2014. Since receiving that grant, the Virginia Beach Branch of the AAUW has continued planning and implementing this conference. Ms Daniel is in her second term of

In addition, we arestarting and ATMAE Robot Competition Course for spring of 2016-17.The current plan is to include the PID lab in the ATMAE Robot Competition Course.

It leaves clues about how many annotations are there as well, noting hot spots in the webdocument. In the future, the instructor plans to invite students are to submit at least fiveannotations from any computer networking technology websites, including sample screen clipsof their annotations as part of their portfolios.Learning both within the Network Switches & Routers classroom and beyond it can bestrengthened tremendously by using specific reading strategies.

By placing complexconcepts, such as the anisotropic behavior of materials, in familiar contexts, studentsseem to become more engaged in and more excited about their own learning. In additionto formal and informal information that has been gathered based upon observing studentsand measuring their learning outcomes, several research investigations, such as a recentreport from the National Research Council (NRC), have confirmed that it

In addition to serving as the project for laboratory, the chosen product will also serve as the target example for each of the topics presented in class.  Using a team-based methodology in the lab in order to more efficiently use student time and effort while highlighting the importance of good quality documentation and communication. This includes the opportunity for student teams to share their reverse engineering results, testing and data collection/analysis processes.  The

Further, the students appear to agree on the fact thatthe PCB project provides added value to the class (3 6) and it is a tool for the understanding ofmicrowave engineering (3 4) since the majority would suggest to attend this class even if theproject was not part of it (3 5).Looking back to the experience, some considerations and suggestions can be drawn for the future: • the student’s understanding of a complex subject such as microwave engineering can be enhanced with a simple, yet practical project; • the experiential approach can be enhanced by a theoretical framework that complements it

Through the introduction of nano-particles, there is an increase in the rate ofcooling since the fluid is able to effectively absorb more heat from the engine.According to a recent study conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),locomotive diesel engines contribute significantly to air pollution in many of our nation’s citiesand towns. Since control plans for on-road vehicle emissions have been put into effect,locomotives could become the primary source for dangerous air pollution in the country.

Theywill find the right tool for the right task at the right price. Especially those motivated studentsthat take the initiative to solve problems without relying on a university or faculty to solve thesefor them.

Graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School in 1983, enlisted in the United States Navy, and in 1984 reported to basic training in San Diego, California. I had plans of completing my four-year enlistment and separating from the navy, but things did not work out that way, and I retired from the United States Navy in 2009 after more than twenty-five years of active service, and achieving the rank of Senior Chief Petty Officer. Throughout my naval career I continued taking college courses with hopes of, one day, graduating with a bachelor’s degree. On my last tour of active duty, I was assigned to Mid Atlantic Regional Center, which was a shore duty for me, and I was able to complete my educational requirements for my
