In restructuring the course, I decided toadd comparable emphasis on structure and processing of materials as it relates to testing andcharacterization of metallic materials.This paper describes the first three of the seven experiments that were developed focusing on: (1)Introductory Image Analysis and Brinell hardness testing, (2) Strengthening mechanisms and tensiletesting, and (3) Cold working and Rockwell hardness testing.

IntroductionSolar energy is clean, free, and abundant. It holds the potential to support a clean, reliable, andmore sustainable energy future. From the years 2000 to 2019, global cumulative installedphotovoltaic (PV) capacity has increased by 632.4 GW [1]. In 2019 alone, 116.9 GW of new PVwas installed. It was estimated that global solar PV installation in 2020 would increaseapproximately 132 GW from 2019. Despite the impact of pandemic on the economy, the UnitedStates installed 11.1 GW of solar PV in the first 9 months of 2020 which is the largest first 9-month total ever [2]. With the

The goals of thepower electronics track are stated in the cover letter to the syllabi. They are Gain a propensity to use first principles to solve problems. We take a physical approach and use our circuit theory and electromechanical energy conversion fundamentals. A solid foundation in these will serve us well here. Improve our communications and problem solving skills. This means a

Severalexamples of student work are presented in the paper to showcase the ease, usefulness, andcapability of the process.1 IntroductionRobotics has always captured our imagination and conjured thoughts of human-like machinesworking alongside humans. However, despite advances in technology and computational powerhaving allowed the creation of more autonomous machines, they are still in infancy whencompared to the capabilities of humans.

When considering offering our course remotely, we contemplatedsuch an approach, but we concluded that it would be most beneficial to the students to send themindividual kits.

These results will inform future data collection and analysis as we return to in personlearning to better distinguish the impacts of exam and learning formats on diverse students’anxiety and academic performance.IntroductionThe role of anxiety on performance of mathematics has been explored by many researchers overthe years. Numerous studies have correlated increased anxiety levels to more frequent errors incomplex math problems [1–4]. This led to the concept of processing efficiency theory, whichsuggests that anxiety occupies some of the “working memory” that an individual has forperforming mental calculations, leading those with higher anxiety to have less available mentalresources to perform the task and thus perform poorly.
