The Raspberry Pi was programmed to take an array of temperatures that were thencompared with a spread of acceptable temperature ranges. If the temperature is within anacceptable range, then the linear actuator opens and closes for a preset duration. Once thatprocess is complete, the raspberry pi diverts back to the scanning process for the next person tobe scanned. If a temperature is scanned that is NOT within the acceptable range, the actuator willnot open. The design test set up schematic is shown in Figure 1

The purpose of this paper is toevaluate validity evidence in terms of item functioning and factor structure. Specifically, we ask:1) To what extent do the Exposure and Motivation items function as intended (i.e., items writtento be exposure factor together and items written at motivation factor together); 2) To what extentare the items measuring Exposure and Motivation in microelectronics in a sensitive way (i.e., theitems are able to detect the expected variance among students)?

This partnership began by creating and coordinatingthe band's music to a colorful light show using the windows of a high-rise dormitory buildingseveral years ago. A motion-assisted drum harness was the next project, soon upgraded to adrummer-powered mobile drum platform with fixed LED configurations that wereprogrammable in simple ways.[1] All band members soon sported LED-encrusted glassesframes.

possible to cover the detailed theory and applications of all high-level classes. For thisreason, many educational projects are aimed to give students the opportunity to acquire this high-level knowledge through a hands-on practice. At the end of these projects, students concludetheir experience and prepare a student manual that, later on, guides other groups in getting thesame knowledge through hands-on experience. This initiative is applied through some seniordesign projects within the Engineering Technology program. In this paper, a shaking table isused to learn the concepts of (1) vibration analysis, (2) vibration absorber design (that is usuallycovered in Mechanical Vibration class which is not currently offered at our ET program), and (3

FromKindergarten to College (K2C), experiential learning and collaborative work are highlyrecommended in education to help students develop relevant team dynamics skills, bothinterpersonal and social skills[2]. Several studies show that collaborative learning increasesstudents’ motivation and engagement. However, other works denote that teamwork can oftenintroduce limitations or even negate the benefits due to team members’ social loafing, mistrust,and conflicts [3]. The definition of social loafing has been revised over the years. However, theauthors adopt Gilovich et al. definition that social loafing is a phenomenon or tendency for ateam member to exert less effort when working on a group task in
