reduced, allowing for more detailed and interesting findings.3.2.5 Tests for AssumptionsIn order to understand the validity of our data set and the subsequent analysis, a few assumptionsmust first be tested which the factorial ANOVA takes into account. The assumption of normalitywas tested via examination of the residuals. Review of the Shapiro–Wilk (S-W) test fornormality and skewness and kurtosis statistics suggest whether or not normality was a reasonableassumption. The boxplot of the residuals is analyzed for a relatively normal distributional shape.The Q–Q plot and histogram are also examined for normality. The assumption of homogeneityof variance (homoscedasticity) is tested by conducting Levene’s test.Random assignment of individuals to

With the gage affixed, the beam is mounted in a cantilever fashionafter which a series of weights are suspended to it in a sequential test. The resistance of the straingage is measured for each series of weights. Next, a Wheatstone bridge is constructed in a ¼bridge configuration.

of programming may each be most relevant for different types of careers,but BME programs generally do not know what careers their students will have, and with acrowded curriculum, choices have to be made about what type of computing course(s) to require.In some cases this decision is made for all programs by the engineering school, but more than60% of universities give BME the responsibility of deciding on fundamental programmingcourses, and additional applications courses are at the discretion of the department. The data may be useful in several ways. They show a diversity of approaches, withMATLAB, CAD, and modeling being the most prevalent courses.

It can be adapted to use renewable energy or marginal heat sources. This invention is also well suited for the First World. If current trends remain, the UnitedStates alone will require 15 trillion more gallons of fresh water per year by 2020. Furthermore,one half of total U.

better prepared for each class to some extent; thus theytook less time to solve problems as a group, if not correctly all the time. Some times thestudents are asked to show only the methodology and steps for solving the problem. Theywere then asked to complete the solution as group homework. Some times the data in thesame problems is changed for each group (for example the magnitude of a load or theangle of application of a load), so that their results can be plotted on the board as trendlines. Those who get wrong answers fall out of bounds of the trend line(s) and theyimmediately realize their mistakes. Careful design of classwork problems seems to helpstudents to a great extent as they learn the problem solving techniques just in time. Thefeed

The program advisorshave submitted a proposal to the NSF S-STEM program to continue the program and expand it toinclude upper-division students.The GUIDE program has three faculty advisors: two that manage and advise the mentoringteams, organize the seminars and manage the program; the third advisor guides and recruits thegraduate students to the program.

The “crumb” is the level of porosity in theinterior structure of a slice of bread. This measure directly relates to a number of bakingparameters and ingredient conditions.
