by the test sample.Similar plots and results are obtained for the double and the triple GEM detector. For the doubleand triple GEM detector we add a second GEM below the first GEM for the double and we add athird GEM below the second GEM to form the triple GEM. Each GEM provides its ownamplification that is similar to the GEM before it. However, the numbers of the electrons that areamplified in the first GEM are further amplified by the second GEM. Furthermore, the thirdGEM amplifies the amplified electrons from the second GEM. The intent is to obtain multipleamplifications of the primary electron signal without any noise. This improves the signal to noise(S/N) ratio that is badly needed when testing dilute elements producing very small

Future WorkThis case study is currently being followed up by a second online course, with a similar format,for which both overall course access statistics and individual course material statistics are beinggathered. A comparison will be made between results of this research and the new results, aswell as a look into what course materials the students actually use and which they may beignoring. References1. S.

were ableto see the challenges facing engineers in conducting simulation studies.IntroductionModeling and simulation play a crucial role in almost all disciplines in science and technology.In essence, modeling is the practice of developing a simplified representation of a system1.Simulation, on the other hand, is an imitation of the operation of the system over a period oftime2. Although until the 80’s simulation was not popular due to the cost and long processingtime of computing resources, today, simulation is considered an attractive and cost-effectivemethod to perform systems analysis1.Simulation may or may not be an appropriate tool, depending on the situation. For example,simulation is a useful tool to verify analytical solution, study

correlations such as those listed above provide motivation for the development ofinnovative activities that begin to integrate STEM and music for undergraduates. With suchactivities, questions arise about the role(s) that music might play in the achievement andretention of undergraduate STEM students, particularly URM students. It is hypothesized that ifminorities pursuing degrees in STEM participate in music and/or music-related activities, theirsuccess in STEM might increase. This paper describes a pilot program within a College ofEngineering that combines music and engineering, presents future work related to this modelalong with plans for engaging diverse students, and offers suggestions for replicating this modelon other campuses.Literature

the students internalize valuablelessons about the difficulty of finding work/life balance in college. When asked about theschedule in the impact surveys several students indicated lessons learned about balancingacademics, social life, and self such as: .... it was difficult being expected to do homework assignments when the activities ended at about 10 in the evening. Hour breaks were nice but flew by so quickly. Schedule was very packed and busy, good practice.... Food inclusion was a nice habit to adjust to. The long day with math, [Library and IT], writing and another session of math (or physics) was tightly scheduled and tiring. I see it beneficial for students whose schedules could have a day(s
information without visual reinforcement.I would recommend using student projects to develop video content to eventually “flip” a course(or at least move some of the lecture to before the class period). The approach presented here isa work in progress, but the author hopes this information is useful and inspiring for other newengineering educators.References 1. Swartz, Brian.

grid can beseen in figure 9 below under a microscope. The cells obtain a slight negative charge and willhold inside the gridded pattern within an E-field. The E-field is created by conducting a 90ºpulse from each of the four pads on the device. This E-field is illustrated in figure 10 belowbased on Chengjun Huang’s research, and also cells trapped in the E-field can be seen in figure113. This precise 90º pulse is what allows the trapping of cells to be possible. If rotation occursit can be observed under a microscope. This is called electrorotation. The middle of each gridshould have no charge, but the E-field surrounding the cell(s) should hold them within thecharged electric fields.Figure 9: Empty devise with an empty grid created by the 2
