nutritional needs15. We expandedupon the previously published project description by separating into two phases. Phase I consistsof the following: (1) reading primary research on the intersection of obesity, energy, and foodcost16; (2) researching nutrition in various foods via exploring the grocery store to gathernutritional content; (3) integrating their understanding of energy balances by planning a menu fora day with constraints of varying budgets, $5, $10, and unlimited budget, and (4) meeting anutritional caloric intake for an individual in that budget constraint. Given the course schedule,the BIOE students start the project 1 week earlier than the CHBE students. As a result, we expectthe BIOE team to lead the first phase and act as data

lot outof it.6. Reflective discussionWe think the project could be further improved from several aspects. • The battery provided to the students were several years old, and some of them did not hold a charge well. As a result, the battery caused the Raspberry Pi and the ultrasonic sensors to behave erratically. One team actually did not do well in the Bocce game, due to a battery issue discovered right before the competition. In the future, we plan to provide new batteries to the students. It may also be a good idea to use a dedicated battery to power the Raspberry Pi. • Although the project stimulated student enthusiasm through the competition and has practical implications, we did not encourage the

Students will need to see that the teachers, support staffand senior management are serious and committed to finding solutions and applyingnew strategies and supporting real changes for the long term.The definition of a strategy itself is, a long term plan of action designed to achieve aparticular goal.

A questionnairesurvey was developed and used to solicit inputs and recommendations by state department oftransportation and metropolitan planning organizations personnel on proper selection of scoresand relative weights. This process is expected to reduce the potential bias of the scoringmethodology and lead to an improved model for possible adoption in the near future.Bibliography1. Wakefield, Julie. (2004).

It’s just we didn’t have the equipment there with Page 22.1031.9 us, so it’s learning to be resourceful in areas where you don’t have everything with you or you didn’t plan certain things to happen…Sometimes, yeah, things will run a lot smoother if it’s structured, but will the students be getting the same experience?
