. Consumerproducts that depend on deep learning, products like Amazon’s Alexa and Google Home, are thetip of a new wave of innovation that will change the way consumers interact with products.Scientists and engineers with expertise in deep learning are already in short supply.Deep learning is based on an old technology — neural networks. In fact, some argue that deeplearning is simply a re-branding of neural networks, a technology that has been through several“hype-cycles 3 .” Neural networks date to as far back as the 1940’s and 1950’s. In 1957, FrankRosenblatt introduced the Perceptron, the forerunner of today’s modern neural networks. What isnew today is the availability of big data sets to train large and deep neural networks and theavailability of the
inthis study is RapidMiner, and different subsets of data are utilized in the machine learning phase,thus reaching more robust predictive conclusions.IntroductionIt is almost ubiquitous nowadays to read or hear about trends or conclusion(s) that have beenestablished with the application of data analytics techniques to consumers’ information, frompreference in terms of flavor or color, to behavioral trends in terms of purchasing online ortendency to walk short distances [1]. The field of data analytics has received substantial attentionin the past years due in part to the competition level in a globalized economy, which has resultedin the almost imperative need for focused or personalized services, thus resulting in this globaltrend of collecting

This requires a high level of “resiliency” defined as theability to overcome and rise above adversity and difficult situations. Page 26.89.3Resiliency describes one´s ability to move forward with optimism and self-confidence evenwhen we are immersed in adversity. It is a mental state motivated by our thoughts, which arein part formulated by our success and our interpretations of past and current

Our work adds to this growing body of literature by exploring what aspects ofprototyping student engineers are aware of as they engage in the design process, specificallyduring prototyping activities. 2.2 Prototyping Literature In this work, we use Christie et al.’s definition of a prototype as “an initial instantiation of aconcept as part of the product development process”37. Prototyping represents a large sunk costfor most companies that is overcome through the launch of a successful product; however,estimates indicate that 40-50% of

that shading can not only inhibit the performance of the array, butcan cause power to be absorbed into shaded panels from non-shaded panels. The phenomenontermed hot-spot can occur when an imperfection in materials, flaws in fabrication, partial shadingor some form of damage to the panel(s) has occurred (Pandian, 2016).An important factor in the absorption of irradiance by PV panels is the state in which the solarfaced glass surface is maintained. Regular cleaning intervals are recommended and are usuallydetermined by both physical and geographic location of the array. Partial shading of PV panelsby foliage may exacerbate poorer performance due to organic material adhering to the glass suchas leaf debris, sap, or pollen. Airborne contaminants
