device.Background ResearchBraille is a writing system created by the Frenchman Louis Braille used by the blind1. It uses 6-dot cells and each alphabetic letter is represented through a specific pattern in braille. Due to itsuniversal use, Grade 2 English Braille system and its numerical representations will be used forthis project. To represent the numbers 0-9, the braille letters representing the first 10 alphabetsare used. Figure 1 displays a representation of Grade 2 English Braille2 system; at most four dotsare needed to represent the numbers 0 through 9.Figure 1: Grade 2 English Braille alphabet and numberDesign ConceptsIn braille, each number is represented as a cell which consists of a variable pattern of four (4)raised dots; to represent the hour

INTRODUCTIONMicro-scale experimentation can have substantial educational value in STEM curriculums as itprovides highly visual, accessible demonstrations of fluid, thermal, and chemical phenomena.Further, students can design and prototype these experiments using commonly-available fabricationtools such 3d printers, laser and plotter cutters, and CNC mills. Moreover, these types ofexperiments allow a wide range of laboratory exercises with small demand on resources due to theircompactness, inherent safety, low consumption of materials and generation of waste, and simpleinstrumentation. Finally, the experiments provide students with experience in ‘lab on a chip’technology which is increasingly important is micro

The effective application of SPC methods will finda balance between 2 competing concerns: 1) sample enough to make a confident and correctdecision that your company is sending good parts to a customer and 2) don’t spend so much onSPC that there are no profits to be made. A similar balance is the goal for the cards wagerassignment, make a correct decision to gain some extra credit points but don’t spend so much onlooking at cards that the net is not worth the extra work.The assignment as given to the students is as follows: Suppose one weekend you are at the Bellagio Casino
