Besides theserather basic requirements, the design space is open-ended, allowing for almost infinite vehicledesigns. More points are awarded to more complex and creative designs.Along with building complex launch vehicles, RPL aims to prepare its members to becompetitive applicants when trying to enter the aerospace workforce, whether those opportunitiesbe internships or full-time jobs. To do so, members of RPL have access to advanced technologyand experience realistic engineering obstacles. Detailed CAD models are made of each launchvehicle, assisting in manufacturing detail and overall mission planning. Manufacturing iscompleted

The formal support provided to first-year projects was implementedyears after the program’s inception and arose out of a desire to help students thrive in their first-year, not as a demand of the current curriculum. This resource is a combination of a peer-led learning and leadership program and thetraditional makerspace concept. The

This includes students with C-level performance to A-levelperformance, whether there are knowledge gaps to fill, or there is benefit to be realized by quickreactivation of knowledge early on in the semester. This also benefits instructors who havecertain topics that they’d like to emphasize or use to engage students in higher level thinking, butcould benefit from first having students brought “back up to speed.” For example, Dunsworthand Wu’s [2] “flipped review” procedure provides a model which address this by

The structureof the system is in three tiers- the state-wide University of California (UC), the regionallyorientated California State University (CSU), and the locally focused Community Colleges (CC)[7]. Each of these systems has a different enrollment criterion: the UC system being the mostselective and the CC system open to all students who are at least 18 years old or a high schoolgraduate. As established in the Master Plan, the goal of the UC system is to award bachelor’sdegrees to the top 12.5% of high school graduates and the CSU has a target of 33.3% of thepopulation [7].As largest university

others.People form friendships with individuals who resemble them, and individuals coalesce intosocial groups on the basis of common attributes [14]. Furthermore, group identification predictsself-stereotyping. People apply the group’s characteristics to themselves or apply their individualcharacteristics to the group, downplaying differences they may have with group members [15],[16]. As a result, people often feel positive emotions, such as solidarity and unity, whenembedded among similar people.To compare the predictions made by the application of ODT at the individual level (ODT-I) withalternative theories, we planned two self-report studies. These studies have small sample sizesand thus only constitute a preliminary investigation.Study 1The first

Equilibrium equations (Fx  0, Fy  0, M O  0) are written to reach the obviousconclusion that all forces balance in both directions, thus, translational acceleration is notexpected. Since rotational equilibrium is not satisfied (M O  300 in-lb) , students are promptedto predict the rigid body motion. The volunteers apply forces to the ropes to inevitably cause thetable to rotate counterclockwise due to the couple moment.Summation of moments is revisited

Each team first produces the sequence diagramsfor their unit, and then implements the sequential control by using a “class standard” ladder logicwith code libraries, moves on to programming an HMI screen for their unit and then startstesting. The students start testing parts of their code by the third week. Week 6 is the big unittest, conducted like a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) with a published test plan, much like whathappens in a consulting engineering firm’s office before the project is commissioned in the realmanufacturing facility.
