From informal interviews with program directors, we learned that some commoncharacteristics of these programs include: staff support and training, internal and externalfunding, mentors and role models, academic and cognitive activities, industry engagement, k-14school resources, sense of community for participants, and parental engagement (T.

objectives. Theself- and peer-assessments prompted students to reflect on what each peer teacher had doneeffectively in their respective lesson and what could be improved.There were three primary goals for the inclusion of these assessments. First, they were used as amechanism to encourage active listening and participation by the students while they were intheir peer teaching groups. Second, with more peer teaching groups working simultaneously thanthe number of instructors, the assessments were used by the instructor(s) to gain further insightinto each student’s lesson. Third, they further promoted the role of students as teachers throughreflection and assessment of the quality and content of the lessons of both themselves and theirpeers. The

Modern systems hardware canmake selection of the appropriate value for scaling factor used in Amdahl’s law, “S”, a non-trivial decision. The value for S can be based on SMT (Simultaneous Multi-Threading), super-scalar multi-instruction features, vector instructions, and the potential to use co-processor cores.Generally, in this course the goal is to keep the scaling factor S simple, with focus on the numberof cores per node (ignoring SMT) and the number of nodes in a cluster. However, thissimplification can be pessimistic given micro-parallel features most CPU systems nowincorporate by
often referred to asmechatronic systems. The term mechatronics began as a patented special type of technology byJapanese companies in the early 1970’s 1 . At that time, its focus was on application of electroniccomputers in controlling mechanical systems. Since then it has grown into an engineering designphilosophy that integrates traditional engineering disciplines in the design of products. Althoughmany definitions of the term mechatronics have been proposed, the widely used definition treatsmechatronics as a multidisciplinary engineering philosophy that synergistically combines tradi-tional mechanical engineering with electronics, controls and computing 2 .

In order to provide a relativelylow-cost training platform for a relatively challenging control problem, D. Kim and B.

This FibeRExtrusion Device, FrED, provided a process that would benefit from complex process control,while also being straightforward to analytically model and test. Recently, S.

derived by the analytics software.Figure 1 displays all initial variables with first-generation college students as the root node. Theclassification tree splits the observations into binary categories based on the variable values ineach observation. In figure 1’s case, the binary classification is persistence in engineering [Yes]and non-persistence [No]. For categorical variables, the split is which variable value existswithin a particular observation. For continuous variables, the algorithm applies a regressionanalysis that determines the splitting point at a mathematically logical point. This model providesthe advantage of adaptive ability and will self-adjust with new data. The darker color implies agreat proportion of persistence. Next to the
