Some recommended strategies for reaching all students with STEM afterschool activities are listed below:Content-based Strategies  Use and teach with the latest technologies and provide students with tools from many and various media  Contextualize activities by connecting with real-life situations and societal issues  Provide opportunities for individual student expression and connection to their cultures and experiences  Provide students with as much choice as possible in some aspect(s) of the activity  Provide activities that link content areas (for example, dance and geometry, writing and astronomy)  Provide a varied slate of

Page 15.371.8While the technology readiness level is not linearly related to the rubric scores of capstoneproject demonstrations, when plotted against the TRL the demonstration score, S, has a quadraticdependence given by S = (TRL - 6)-.13 + 3.3. Thus demonstration scores are highest (mean of3.3) for a TRL of 6. This technology readiness level is defined as "Representative model orprototype system, which is well beyond the breadboard tested for TRL 5, tested in a relevantenvironment. Examples include testing a prototype in a high fidelity laboratory environment orin simulated operational environment."11. Thus capstone project which have students createprototype systems generally scored better than those which are more speculative or research

Create a table summarizing the cruise Mach number, altitude, initial and final weights (most airplanes burn fuel when they fly), range of the cruise segment, and other mission values that are important. You will need to read some of the flight manual information to estimate these weights, ranges, etc. This information will be used to define the reference condition(s) for your aerodynamic analysis. b.

dramatically. In the days of manual testing, data acquisition rates were measured inbytes/s. Subsequent processing was equally manual so the cost was determined bywages and error rates were high. Now, data collection at MByte/s rates is routine andautomated while a system with the functionality shown in figure 2 can be realized for lessthan $10. The whole system can be procured as a turnkey product so it becomes anextended tool for the non-electronics professional running the application. Specialistintervention is needed less often but the counterbalance is that systems are rapidlyincreasing in complexity so there are more varieties of interaction and novel problems.From an educational viewpoint, this means more emphasis on critical thinking
