Moreover,during the oral examination, the ULAs offer additional individual explanations anddemonstrations to cover students’ conceptual and technical deficiencies.Final Project ECE175 Spring 2013The final project is to write a c program to simulate the card game called “War”. The rules are: 1. You are to play with a deck of 52 cards, ranking from low to high as follows: two, three, …ten, jack, queen, king and ace. There are 4 suits (H S D C) of each numbered and face cards, although for the game, suits are ignored. The deck needs to be shuffled, then deal 26 cards to each of two players (This is called a hand). 2. Each player places the top card face up on the table and the player with the higher card takes the

received first by the instructional designers that are responsible forsetting up the support system, then by the RLE responsible for providing support and finally bythe student-inmate. This multiple responsibility challenges the instructor, who is then worriedabout certain content that may not comply with copyright laws. It is for this reason that theinstructor limits the number of images within in the instructional materials and asks for theseitems to be returned at the end of the year. This, at various levels, seems to the instructor, aconstraint. The instructor thus adopts a more conservative attitude with regards to the contenttransmitted, claiming the need for strict compliance with copyright laws, a constraint that s/hemay never have voiced

The students areintroduced to the Betz limit and efficiency calculations in online lectures. They learn to performcalculations and generate engineering plots using Excel. They are asked to design their own windturbine blades to generate maximum power for wind speeds less than 10 miles per hour (4.5 m/s). AnAutoCAD tutorial is provided, and the students create AutoCAD drawings of their blades that aresuitable for laser cutting.

Using less material will decrease the overall cost of constructing the column(s) while maintaining a strength that conforms to the necessary specifications. While other materials, especially the A36 Steel, are comparable in price considering the material that would be needed, high-strength concrete maintains a good balance between GWP, cost, strength, and amount of material necessary to withstand the applied load.Responses, such as above, demonstrates that the student team gained an understanding of thetrade-offs in material selection by considering multiple factors (GWP, cost, and materialproperties).
