One way to demonstratean Engineering process is to supplement with a lab book. Student team designed a supplemental lab bookwith a few things in mind. The first was that we wanted the user to be able to understand the basics ofplastic extrusion and the mechanics behind the process. The next thing was to include information onplastic recycling and to show what plastics

This global perspective is rooted in a vision of SJSU as a preeminent producer of forward-thinking problem-solvers. With this goal in mind, Wei has established the Silicon Valley Engineering Scholarship, a program that provides $5,000 of annual support for high-achieving students to pursue engineering careers. Wei is also a Principal Contributor to CSU (California State University) Engineering Academies, a statewide program that helps high schools better motivate and prepare students for the rigors of engineering education. Moreover, she supports the creation of high

In addition to educatingengineering students, the simulator will also be used as a promotional tool, both for theuniversity and the engineering department, and allow it to be a resource for what other needs theuniversity might have for a Stewart platform. With this in mind, a few more practical designgoals are being pursued. First, the simulator must be safe enough for people of all ages and sizesto ride in. Also, the platform must carry a professional look so that the university can showcase itand people will feel

that might not otherwise be obvious. It alsodiffers from the bubble diagram in that it is not the result of classification according to already-programmed use categories. Instead, it is the result of observations that themselves tend to createcategories.With these successes and ideas for future improvement in mind, however, it should be noted thatthe context out of which software design emerges differs in significant ways from that ofarchitectural engineering. The agile environment is specifically conceived to both bracketongoing change so that individual features of the overall product can be designed and to parcelout responsibility so that the development team is only responsible at any given time to reach astate of completion for individual

Recent fMRI data showed that creativity is supported by three brain networks whichare normally not activated simultaneously4-6. The three orthogonal-like brain networks are thedefault network for mind wandering with episodic memory, executive control network for taskexecution, and salience network for deciding when to switch between default and executivenetworks 7. Another recent fMRI finding showed that physics learning would involve episodicmemory and be a good platform to study student learning effectiveness due to the fact thatphysics contains daily life experiential examples and also is based on laws8, 9
