The propose of the study is to test the main effect and interaction effect of the following factors: A: Linear Distance B: Angle C: Height To analyze and evaluate different positions, a full factorial experimental design is planned with the three factors. Two levels are selected for each factor, thus resulting in 23 distinct combinations for each replicate. The analysis will

The current study is focused on understanding the affective choices that first-year engineeringstudents make with regards to their major. The exploration and selection of an engineering major is oftena focal point of first-year engineering programs, and this experience has been found to be “polarizing,”either affirming a student’s plans to study engineering (or a specific discipline) or dissuading them alltogether8.
