Searching the Internetfor “balancing teaching workload across multiple classes,” a variety of sources will surface thatuse a much different interpretation. In “Balancing Faculty Workload” (American MathematicalSociety 1, 2012), the areas covering teaching, research, and service are the key elements ofconcern when it comes to the topic of teaching workload. Indeed, even in our own Engineeringand Design Department, teaching workload planning is directly tied to promotion and tenure andis focused on those three main

inrelating the coordinate systems between a robot and a machine vision system.While students can utilize math software to compute robot kinematictransformations, they have problems verifying their answers. In this paper, a threedimensional vertically articulated robot is created to help students visualize thelocation and orientation of the end effector. Students can check their robotkinematic answers based on the joint encoder values set up at each joint. Inaddition, a camera is also mounted on the robot for the students to relate an objectlocation from the camera coordinate system to the robot world frame.1. IntroductionA robot is typically connected by a series of links and joints. A robot hand, or endeffector, is attached at the end of the wrist

The Structures and Materials Laboratory course is a 1-credit writing-intensive laboratory course taught to students pursuing undergraduate degrees in civilengineering technology and construction management. Since students previously completedcoursework in construction materials and construction methods, the purpose of this course is tofacilitate an advanced understanding of construction materials and to reinforce key structuraldesign concepts. Objectives include identifying various modes of failure as well as evaluatingthe role of materials in various modes of structural failure. For several years, a number of failurecase studies have been incorporated into the course to enhance student learning. It

the pitfalls of the flipped classroom method arehighlighted, and the importance of proper instructional design is emphasized.1. IntroductionThe basic premise of the flipped class room instructional method, often called the invertedclassroom, is that online instruction at home frees class time for learning. In this pedagogicalmodel, asynchronously delivered online video lectures take the place of direct-live instruction.Custom videos can be created by the course instructor or can be chosen from the increasinglylarge inventory of online content, such as those provided via Kahn Academy1. Class timepreviously reserved for “chalk and talk” lectures is instead spent directly interacting withstudents, performing activities that are not easily

Surveys showed that thiswas due to the fact that the laboratory experiments were topic specific and did not present asystem design approach which made it difficult for students who attempted to use thismicrocontroller [1]. A new platform, the C-Stamp microcontroller, was introduced as analternative for their design. This development boards provide a pre-assembled hardware platform,which include common peripheries in addition to programming libraries. These benefitsencouraged some students to implement the C-Stamp microcontroller in their senior designprojects with fairly successful outcomes [1]. The

The analysis result is used to select components for optimumperformance of the system in its desired operational conditions.
