For a natural language algorithm to functionthe most robustly it must often contain a detailed dictionary of terms, their parts of speech, andbasic rules on how to use them. SimpleNLG handles the grammar of the English language wellenough, but for the purposes of writing word problems the language must be correlated tonumerical values. For example, a projectile may either be a baseball or a bullet. It is reasonablethat a baseball may travel 40 m/s and a bullet 500 m/s but not the other way around.Third, developing customizable images to accompany the word problem is costly in time andgraphic resources.

Indeed, work done to understand whywomen and minorities leave the profession will help bolster a declining talent pool, but it mayalso help to understand job satisfaction across the board. Results could be expected to be similaramong other engineering disciplines, but this has yet to be explored. This is one area of studythat could be expanded. Other areas that merit focused is best practices for addressing work-lifebalance, managerial communication strategies, and tactics used to prompt an employee’semotional investment into a company

Digital circuits are circuits that utilize logic, relying on 0’s and 1’s (off’s andon’s) rather than specific analog levels. A microcontroller is the brain of an embedded systemand can be programmed with code to perform a particular function. The combination of analog,digital, and microcontroller devices create an embedded system. For engineering students,learning both these subjects are beneficial due to the integrative nature of circuits in manyengineering applications.A typical introductory digital circuit device is the Arduino Uno.
