Students involved in the CAR research projects have access to ancillary services,facilities and support staff. Besides gaining laboratory experience, students working at the CARreceive credit towards a degree and/or compensation. In addition, students gain authorship injournal articles, attend scientific conferences to present their results, and participate in a numberof outreach efforts. The CAR offers student researchers a supportive environment, as studentsexperience a sense of permanence and community in the organization.Goals of CAR-based mentoring: The CAR-based mentoring

, Schwartz accepted a lecturer position in the Department of Computer Science to teach computer programming and develop new introductory courses. Recognizing the academic potential of games, Schwartz founded the Game Design Initiative at Cornell (GDIAC) in the spring of 2001. Soon after, he designed the Cornell Library Collaborative Learning Computer Laboratory (CL3), which started hosting GDIAC courses in August 2004. In May 2006, these efforts established Cornell’s Minor in Game Design offered by the College of Engineering, the first formal Ivy-League game design program. In the summer of 2007, Schwartz joined the Rochester Institute of Technology’s Game Design and Development program as an assistant professor. In 2009

This time, 0.5 to 1-inch diameter gravel (1 ¼ inches high),1-5 mm diameter course sand (1 ¼ inches high), and 0.15-0.3 mm diameter fine sand (13 incheshigh) were used. The effective filtration height was similar to the 2010-11 design. Sand waswashed and separated using mesh and washing techniques. Three filters were built with severalof the islanders.

Other methods of classroominstruction also engage students in learning by simpler more subtle means, such as: randomlyselecting students during a lecture to answer questions or give their opinion on a topic, student-produced journals, peer review, and through faculty sharing stories related to the course topicsfrom their own work experience.

ConclusionsThe process of creating a tool prototype with 3D modeling software, printing said prototype, thensand casting the final part, is a viable and affordable option for the rapid manufacturing of manytools. However, several factors must be considered if a business or individual would like to makeuse of said model. First, the size of the tool should be considered.

Since TCP requires retransmission for packet loss, we use the number ofretransmission to compare two network configurations. Since unreliable transport layer protocolUDP does not require retransmission, packet loss is used instead for the comparison.For the performance measurement collection, we use open-source software tool iperf3,developed by ESnet and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Once accepted to the USCGA Shane took his curiosity to the classroom and began his studies within the EE major.
