So in a sense the question here is: Do students who exhibit specific difficulties in de-scribing rigid body motion at the beginning of Statics exhibit specific difficulties in assessingequilibrium at the beginning or end of Statics? If so, might identifying these students at the startof Statics allow the instructor(s) to more effectively address these students’ expected challengesand give those students a better chance of exiting Statics with a consistent and correct approachto assessing equilibrium? This work attempts to answer the first of these two questions.MethodologyTo test the notion that understanding a dynamic rigid body gives a better foundation for under-standing a static rigid body, students complete a pair of simple questions

Identified During Idea GenerationStrategy Description I. Reduce usage To reduce the usage of any energy-consuming device(s). This could be using the devices less often, turning them to a lower power setting, offering fewer devices, or reducing the amount a device needs to be used without changing its efficiency. Solutions ranged from turning off half of the lights to using personal fans instead of AC. II. Increase To replace current energy-consuming devices with those that will be similarly effective but efficiency use less energy. Common examples include replacing incandescent light bulbs with energy- efficient bulbs such as CFL or LED

The SDR domains provides a methodto tie together many of the subjects in a typical electrical engineering and computer science andengineering undergraduate’s curriculum. Although student teams may choose to use whateverdevelopment environment they wish, we have had success with the GNU Radio developmentenvironment as well as the MATLAB Simulink environment. Simulink allows a model-baseddesign approach, which allows students to take a systems approach to designing the overall SDRtransceiver, which provides them with exposure to this important aspect of project development.In this paper, we discuss the

Survey questions and acompilation of the results are documented in the reference, which can be viewed on theAssociation‟s page of the ETD website.(ii)The key results, however, had to do with the costs which respondents were willing to pay foraccess to testing. Respondents were asked to identify a price level at which they would bewilling/able to take advantage of testing, and to estimate how many students they would test eachyear at that price level. Those results provided a basis for estimating a price point that wouldmaximize revenue from an ongoing testing program. When these results were reviewed with

ObjectivesRensselaer’s vision is for students to have: immediate access to course materials, educationalresources, and interactive learning modules; ubiquitous Internet connectivity; and the ability tocommunicate and collaborate with anyone, from anyplace, at anytime. Rensselaer is PrincetonReview’s “America’s Most Connected Campus”, with many of our buildings also equipped withwireless LANs; which are typically used for file server access and communication (e.g. email,IM, etc.). We have begun to investigate how we can integrate un-tethered connectivity andmobile technology in the classroom for courses and the overall education process.Our goal is to expand the engineering studio pedagogy pioneered by Rensselaer by in the early90’s to have students learn with

The connection between the codes of the DNA building blocks in genes and physical traits are stressed. Students do hands-on gene manipulation to make bacteria fluoresce and create physical models of DNA/RNA to code and decode genetic traits. - Tufts’ project introduces the concept of number systems and the language of computers (binary). Once students are familiar with patterns of 1’s and 0’s, decoder boxes are distributed and students map binary patterns to letters of the alphabet. Students

The second mating reference was the point origin of the fixed body must be coincidentwith the point origin of the moving body. The two mating references together constrained therevolute assembly to exhibit only the rotation about the z-axis of the assembly. A similarprocess of mating was carried out for each of the remaining 23 assembly models.The coordinate system for each body was added to the assembly drawing to help withvisualization of translation(s) and/or rotation(s).
