The surfaceand interface properties (e.g., roughness, structure, optical reflection, emissivity, and cleanliness)often play a crucial role in the performance of many technologies. Despite its practicalimportance, surface characterization is a comparatively neglected subject in engineeringcurricula. Further, characterization of surfaces is an excellent vehicle for teaching metrology,statistical

The new course will also include the minimum hours requirement, weeklyjournals and logs along with the PPT Presentation. The main difference will be that the studentsare required to produce scholarly works including conference papers and trade journal articles.Scholarly works of appropriate quality may also be submitted to scientific journals. Thecompletion and submission of these works will be the requirement, not the acceptance.The course will draw its students from internal and collaborative research projects at theinstitution along with students conducting

The polymer film was sandwiched between two sodium chloride salt plates (25x 4 mm) and scanned in the range from 4000 cm-1 to 600 cm-1. A Thermo Scientific Niton XL2XRF Analyzer was used to determine the weight percent of the loaded metal in compliant film.A 3 electrode setup was used for the electrochemical tests.

Both followed a general delineation involving 3D scanning of the lower leganatomy, data manipulation, 3D modeling, and 3D printing. However, the sub-processes differedbetween approaches.3D Scanning with FARO Arm3D scanning capabilities were utilized in the data acquisition phase to capture the lower leganatomy. A FARO Arm Platinum laser scanner was used in the first approach. This type ofscanner utilizes laser triangulation technology, projecting a laser line onto the subject beingscanned. As the laser light reflects off the scanned subject’s surface, a camera detects thereflection. Using trigonometric triangulation, the device

Rather, a 3D object would appear to be acombination of the table the object was placed and the object itself.After more in-depth research, the team began a new trial with the information learned4. Throughthese sources, it was learned that the use of our reflective wall plug-in iPhone charger was notthe ideal subject for meshes created by the software.

Students use wax or parchment paper as a work surface (seeFigure 3). A piece of fabric, slightly larger than the finger or gripper, is placed on the worksurface and covered in Ecoflex. The silicone mixture should saturate the fabric (you can help itby spreading forcefully with a plastic knife) and evenly cover the area where the top half of therobot will sit. The top layer of liquid Ecoflex should be deep enough that there is good surfacecontact with the top of the gripper or finger—looking at an angle, the surface should be smoothand reflective, not pocked by

progressing at an accelerated pace in recent years. Most people perceiveAI as creating human-like robots or humanoids, it is more than that. AI is to use neural networktheories to simulate the human thinking processes by computers; to inject the human’s ability toscreening data, provide sound reasoning, to make self-reflection, and self-correction decisions tothe computers. According to TechTarget, artificial intelligence can be broken down into twomain categories: Weak AI (or called Machine Learning category), which is a machine’s ability tobe trained to perform specific tasks. Strong AI (or Deep Learning category) is the machine’sability when equipped with enough cognitive skills, to find solutions to problems on their own.Particular applications

As thesingle laser beam energy is distributed over a larger area, the light intensity is also distributednon-uniformly. This results in a variation in the intensity of the laser sheet in Gaussiandistribution. Therefore, the intensity is inversely proportional to the area of the laser sheetproduced.

So, those who master 21st-century skills like critical thinking, effective communicationand information literacy will be more likely to make a successful transition into universities, technicalschools and the workforce. Studies have found that up to 40 percent of students who enter U.S. collegesand technical schools need remedial coursework, which adds time and expense to their college education.Not surprisingly, these students are less likely to earn a degree or certificate than their better-preparedpeers, putting them at a significant disadvantage in the workforce.Solution: Solving real-world challengesTo build skills for success, we
