chassisincluding its structural integrity measured by strength and toughness and its ability to conductelectricity to ground a car in a lightning strike. The activities developed are tied to 6th – 8th gradeCalifornia math standards and provide students with an opportunity to see how math can be usedto solve authentic engineering research problems. Pre and post-surveys were conducted tomeasure the impact of the visiting engineer/scientist and the research-related activities onstudents’ perceptions towards engineers and scientists and their desire to pursue a career inengineering or science. The results related to this particular research are presented as well as theresults and findings for all fellows during the 2012-13 school year.IntroductionInnovations

pedagogicaladvantages. The flexibility afforded by asynchronous learning is essential when cohorts andcollaborators live and work in many different time zones. But there are also pedagogical reasonsto promote flexible learning using digital tools and resources. Using tools for asynchronouscommunication and collaboration enables students to integrate their learning into busy andsometimes unpredictable schedules, and to work at the times and places that best suit their ownlearning styles, putting both "night owls and early birds" on an equal footing [12]. Our studentsare also increasingly "reading" digital hypermedia texts and producing the same as part of theirprofessional workflow, especially if their work includes engagement with stakeholders in thecommunity

interaction with an industry partner.1. Background and Problem DefinitionAgricultural residues are those vegetative materials produced around the world that are not usefulfor their food or other value. One such material produced in the region is grape pomace. Grapepomace is the residual fruit solids remaining after pressing plus the expended filter paper left fromthe vacuum filtration process used to extract the juice from the press. In rare cases, the pomace canbe used as fodder or fertilizer, but in most cases, it is discarded as a waste and must be truckedfrom the fruit processing plant back to the fields where it decomposes, yielding little benefit to thefarmer since it typically contains few nutrients. As one of the nation’s grape harvesting

The L293D comes in a standard 16-pin,dual-in line integrated circuit package, with built in fly back diodes to minimize inductivevoltage spikes. The L293 is limited to 600 mA, but in reality can only handle much smallcurrents about 200mA. It works on the principle of H-Bridge.H-BridgeH-Bridges allow forward and reverse motor control. To get a motor to turn in one direction,simply close an opposing pair of switches. For instance, as shown in Figure 4 by closing theswitches A and D motor turn in one direction and the B and C switch close with A and D open,then the motor turns to the opposite direction. To exhibit this action it has to control the switches.In some cases, 4 transistors will work

It evaluates universal-diverseorientation (UDO) and has been most widely used in medical school settings.

SDR’s use ofprogrammable software frameworks and general-purpose hardware lowers the barrier-to-entryfor students to model, implement, debug, and verify real-world communication systems. As withany example of PBL, when using SDR to meet intended learning goals it is important to give dueconsideration to key subject design characteristics such as project complexity and open-endedness.The subject reported in this paper exists as an opportunity for students to integrate priorknowledge from overlapping areas in communication systems, signal processing, and embeddedsystems.
