On an interpersonal level, it requiresdeveloping and sustaining trusted relationships between the data or liaison/subject librarian(s)and researchers [9]. At the organizational level, the support of library administration andinstitutional prioritization of data services are critical factors [8].The depth and duration of these interactions with researchers may range from shorter-term“project-based” interactions [9], to “deep dives” into the data practices of an individual or team[10, 11], to long-term, “program-based” relationship-building and collaborations with a programor department [7].Some
conductors.By 1960, a new "light pipe" was being transformed from trivialcuriosity to an important optical device. Bundles of verythin glass fibers were being produced which were both flexibleand transparent. Thus we had a flexible light pipe thatcould look around corners and see things that were hiddenfrom view. In proposing that glass fibers had a directapplication as a fiberscope for examining interior parts ofthe body, Narinder S. Kapany (1960), also described anotheruse. Kapany stated that: It is possible to draw still thinner fibers, but they no longer act as simple light pipes. Their diameters are now comparable to the wavelength of the light, and they act as waveguides, transmit- ting energy in complex patterns that are no

The capstone was done over 1-semester and was assessed based on progress reports submitted on bi-weekly basis, presentationby the end of the project, final report, and team work participation. Using these assessment tools,many of the ABET outcomes were met as will be shown in the paper.IntroductionAerodynamics and flow around car profile are significantly important for F1 design teams. Thefirst designs in the 1950’s were relatively sleek, despite having to compensate for the enormousengines mounted in front of the driver. Down force was a little known concept at that time, so theteams tried to rely on eliminating drag to achieve higher
equation is defined as the order of the highest derivative appearing in the equation and ODE can be of any order. A general form of a first-order ODE can be written in the form dy/dt + p(t)y + q(t) + s = 0 where p(t) and q(t) are functions of t. This equation can be rewritten as shown below d/dt(y) +y p(t) = - q(t) - s where s is zero. A classical integrating factor method can be used for solving this linear differential equation of first order. The integrating factor is e∫p dt . Euler Method Graphical methods produce plots of solutions to first order differential equations of the form y’ = f(x,y), where the derivative appears on the left side of the equation. If an initial condition of the form y(x0) = y0 is also specified, then the only solution

study is informed by the need to address the well-documentedunderrepresentation of low-socioeconomic status (SES) and minoritized students in engineeringand other related careers [1]–[3]. Researchers advanced that, in addition to intellectual andscientific reasons, low-income students are attracted to the major by the potential prospect ofemployment after completing a degree [1], [4]. Financial considerations are critical for low-SESengineering students; this includes considerations of financial aid and differential tuition [5].Programs such as the National Science Foundation Scholarships in STEM (S-STEM) have beenimplemented to address financial assistance of low-SES students.

three caregivers enacted over the course of a five-month engineering program conducted in an out-of-school context. Our research question was asfollows: What roles do caregivers enact with/for their child during a family-based engineeringdesign project? Subsequently, we considered the contextual factors of the program that seemedto influence and shape caregivers’ role enactment. Results of our work provide further evidenceof the impact of caregiver inclusion in the process of learning engineering, not only on thestudent(s) involved, but also on caregivers. Findings support the benefit of incorporating familiaradults into the engineering learning process, while providing distinct avenues by whichcaregivers might acknowledge and value their own
culturally heterogeneous process where peopleengage in various repertoires of practices and literacies rooted in different communities [12],[13], [14]. Learning is revealed to be a collective, communal, reciprocal, and agentic activitywhere meaning is created in interaction with others [13], [15], [16], [17]. And because learning issituated and contextual, it does not escape from but is in fact deeply affected by the influence ofpower relationships.Learning happens within and between communities. People grow from being more novice toexperts. In communities of practice, learning is being facilitated through network(s) of cognition[13]. When it comes to learning, the flow of power occurs between people, activities and theenvironment [13], [18]. In

Our next study willcertainly sample a large number of participants that better represent the population of the USA inthe warehousing and industrial distribution industry. For example, we could choose some areasin the country that have the greatest number of warehousing and distribution centers. These areashave vastly different cultures and environments. This way, the results of the study would includea better reflection of how the future of work would impact varying cultures, thus providing abetter insight into how employees and managers would be willing to accept the changes neededto incorporate new technologies into the work environment.References:[1] S.
