Paper ID #23542A Framework to Guide Design of Interactive and Constructive Learning Op-portunitiesDr. Tracy Q. Gardner, Colorado School of Mines Tracy Q. Gardner graduated from the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) with B.S. degrees in chemical en- gineering and petroleum refining (CEPR) and in mathematical and computer sciences (MCS) in 1996 and with an M.S. degree in CEPR in 1998. She then got her Ph.D. in chemical engineering, studying transport in zeolite membranes, from CU, Boulder, in 2002. She did a postdoc at TUDelft in the Netherlands in 2002 and 2003, studying oxygen conducting mixed oxide membranes and teaching

thiscontribution provides many of the learning outcomes possible with VSA/VSG equipment withadditional insights at the hardware level that might not be evident using SDRs.The laboratory exercise in this contribution centers on having students build IQmodulators/demodulators that can be used to demonstrate digital communication links. Therequired construction parts include semi-rigid coaxial cable, surface mount frequency mixers,and surface mount resistors that cost $10. A pre-lab handout and introductory laboratory lectureillustrate how IQ modulators are used to generate arbitrary digital modulation constellations inthe I-Q plane. An example completed IQ modulator is shown to students demonstrating thebasics of high frequency signal routing with short

Kinematics learning requires a minimum memory capacity whencompared to other physics topics. The long term memory of putting the initial numerical valuesin their appropriate terms could be learned by analyzing each math term in a given equation. Theshort

communications are essential for a simple example of questions and answers(denoted Q/As) and up to more detailed example in mind. Intentional communicationswith confirmation on a real-time basis are also essential for better mutualcomprehension in distance education and learning[4][8]. Here, it enables users to send and confirm not only the individual learners’ Q/As, butalso their more in-depth intentions, with fewer disturbances present in a class context.Teaching staff can also control communication in many timely situations for a betterprogression of class context, with their logged data displayed during the process. At thesame time, mutually intentional communications are more available between learnersand teaching staff, or among learners. Student

The course is completely online, andstudent-teacher interaction comes primarily from Q&A discussion boards (Piazza) and one liveQ&A session per week (WebEx). The course revolves around a semester-long project in whichstudents develop a mini e-commerce web application complete with the design andimplementation of the web interface, the database, and the application business logic.In this paper, we talk about how the course evolved when the developer joined the educator toteach the course.

A deductive calculuspresentation of differentiating v0 with respect to flight time would belong to the academiclearning approach2, which is teaching time efficient for those students very familiar withcalculus. Every student is expected to be familiar with the quadratic equation solution in algebrathat time = P + Q*sqrt(-1) or P – Q*sqrt(-1) when b*b is less than 4*a*c given the a*x*x+ b*x +c = 0 format.

robotwas used for about 25 years to teach undergraduate engineering students robotics concepts andapplications. Originally, the robot’s controller was connected via a 9-pin serial port to an Intel8088-based PC. The PC communicated with the robot via Q-Basic programming language runningunder the Disk Operating System (DOS). One group of students was exposed to two phases ofdevelopment, DosBox and MATLAB environments running in Windows 7 64-bit. Students’attitudes and perceptions surveys, students’ self-reflections statements, and individual studentinterviews, strongly indicated that the old robot with an upgraded computer environment is still acapable tool in developing industrial robotics programming skills.IntroductionIndustrial robots are an

When a tensorof rank four operates on a tensor of rank two, the result is a tensor of rank two. When a tensor ofrank 4,086 operates on a tensor of rank 1,237, the result is a tensor of rank 2,849.
