Li, University of New Haven Cheryl Qing Li joined University of New Haven in the fall of 2011, where she is a Senior Lecturer of the Industrial, System & Multidisciplinary Engineering Department. Li earned her first Ph.D. in me- chanical engineering from National University of Singapore in 1997. She served as Assistant Professor and subsequently Associate Professor in mechatronics engineering at University of Adelaide, Australia, and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, respectively. In 2006
research focuses on the nontraditional engineering student – understanding their motivations, identity development, and impact of prior engineering-related experiences. Her work dwells into learning in informal settings such as summer camps, military experiences, and extra-curricular activities. Other research interests involve validation of CFD models for aerospace applications as well as optimizing efficiency of thermal-fluid systems.Dr. Cheryl Q.

presenting the total externalwork and total strain energy equations beginning first with a single load P applied to a planartruss with one load sequence. Then loads P and Q are applied using two load sequences in whichthe load Q is applied at the location and in the direction of the desired displacement. From thisbasis of understanding, an additional load S is included in both load sequences to discuss itsinfluence on the displacement expression. This leads to a general understanding of the influencethat any number of additional loads would have on the displacement expression, and that theeffect of the load Q remains unchanged as these loads are applied. It then becomes evident thatBarry T. Rossonthe desired displacement due to all the applied loads

costefficiency of a hybrid approach—an attractive feature for institutions faced with shrinkingbudgets and classroom space—Brown13 posits that, in the future, institutions will design mostcourses by the 90–10 Rule Q (p. 22). In other words, a mix of face-to-face and online instruction(somewhere between 90% and 10% and 10% and 90%) will be superior to either 100% face-to-face or 100% online courses6. The findings of a study show that online learning can be aseffective as face-to-face learning in many respects in spite of the fact that students in onlineprograms may be less satisfied with their experience than students in more traditional learningenvironments14. In a study, participants who had more experience with the Internet indicatedsignificantly

Each question is a total of 5 points, resulting in a total of 15 points for all threequestions. For each of the PRE and POST instruction surveys, the following data is collected: • Individual question scores for each student – Parts A and B individually • Individual question scores for each student – Sum of parts A and B • Average student score for each question – Parts A and B individually • Average student score for each question – Sum of parts A and B • Total student score for all three questions – Q-1 + Q-2 + Q-3 • Average total student score for all three questions – Q-1 + Q-2 + Q-3 • Normalized Gain for each

They will recognize their professional need to advance in their careers and continue their professional development.III.2.

Therefore, this “Top-Down” approach would predict that asthe length is decreased to a 3-D nanoscopic resistor, as shown in Figure 1 on the right, itsresistance would approach zero ohms. However, it is now well known that the conductance fornano-scale ballistic conductors is quantized in multiples of q2/h ≈ 1/(25kΩ)1, where q is theelectron charge (1.6 × 10 C) and h is Planck’s Constant (6.63 × 10 J-sec). For thisreason, the resistance of the simplest 1-D nanoscopic device would approach h/q2 ≈ 25kΩ (notzero ohms). A=Wt A=Wt L L
) = 0.43007, and C = 55(0.59796) - 58.50(0.43007)/e2(0.0392207) = $9.633. In Problem 1, suppose the price of the stock will either increase 10% or decrease 10% during the year. What is the maximum amount you would be willing to pay for the option? (Use the binomial option pricing model described in class in arriving at your answer.) Answer: $3.65 S = $57.00, K = $58.50, u = 1.1, d = 0.9, rf = 4%, T = 2. Therefore, q = (1.04 - 0.90)/(1.1 - 0.9) = 0.7.4.

the ones in the past.The indirect assessment was done using course evaluations at the end of the semester. The courseevaluation is a set of eighteen questions that students answer using an agreement scale (5=strongly agree, 4= agree, 3=neutral, 2= disagree, 1= strongly disagree). These questions aregrouped into six categories. Four of the eighteen questions and two of the six categories wereused to assess students’ satisfaction with the course and, specifically, the RGM project.

recognizedthey needed to use the information in the graph to the right of the simulation. However, twodifferent errors caused Gerry to submit the wrong answer: Gerry: This is insulated which means Q is zero. So, ‘calculate the amount of work that the piston and block did on the system’. So as I can see in PV graph, this is [an] irreversible process, so the area under the PV curve will be the work that the piston did on the system. Since [the] system got the work, work will be a positive number. So I can just simply get the area under the curve which would be, I don’t know, 15 times 15? So 225 approximately.Figure 3. Procedural question from Work IVLGerry was correct that it is an irreversible process and that work is equal
responded in that category. Results are from Spring 2015 class.In both Spring of 2014 and 2015, the useful of the PLG sessions was very dependent on theindividual PLG leader. During both semesters, there was one PLG leader (PLGL1) whofollowed the exact procedure laid out in the methods section (15 minutes of Q&A, 45 minutes ofprepared exercise, 1 hour of work time). Additionally, each semester, the other PLG leader(PLGL2) did not follow the procedure and spent the majority of the time helping students withtheir assignments. PLGL1 had a small group of students who attended the sessions each week.These students were not struggling in the class, but actually using these sessions to enhance theiralready proficient level of understanding.

To what extent do you see yourself as atypical among your peers? “Possibly more artistic than peers?” “There seems to be a new stereotype of engineers—they all play guitars. We don’t fit that stereotype.” “We may have greater dislike for rote learning—too confining.”Q. How do we re-structure this experiment to draw in more engineering students? “Form partnerships with arts students; arts students are encouraged to “get out there,” build résumés, and gain exposure through extracurricular activities.” “Show that we are not expecting symphonies or works at that level. The art we are doing should be good, but not daunting.” “Other students may have chosen to

Optical Flow8,9 and Block Matching algorithms10,11 are relatively easy toimplement. However, both algorithms are derived based on the assumption that target objectdoes not rotate and deform through motion. Clearly, this assumption is not applicable toproblems encountered in the mechanics of material. With the assist of finite strain theory andnonlinear optimization theory, the concept of DIC can be described as follows.The deformation of an elastic body takes place between non-deformed and deformedconfigurations after motion and deformation is schematically presented in Fig. 1. Consider apoint P in the non-deformed body translates to point p through translation 𝑈⃗ . Due to theadditional rigid body rotation and deformation, the target point Q in
