]. However, there is disagreement regarding theimplementation of SET corrections [9]. The validity of SET as measure of teachingeffectiveness was strongly questioned in the 1970’s [10]. More recently, it was arguedthat student ratings are of little help to instructors willing to improve them if notsupported by professional advice [11]. The hypothesis that the instructor’s look is arelevant factor to SET was dismissed by a recent study [12]. More general concerns arerelated to how effectively SET ratings are actually used [9].

, such as not fully extending the raised leg(s) during the foot placement phase. Slippage from poor traction also was a contributor here. • Poor joint coordination: During the power stroke phase of the gait, the robot must alter all the joint angles so as to shift its center of gravity forward while maintaining all feet in contact with the ground. Doing this correctly is equivalent to velocity control of a parallel kinematic chained mechanism and was beyond the scope of the course. Still, students found a series of intermediate poses that seemed to work. • Time management: Students falsely assume that the majority of the work is in the mechanical design and underestimate the amount of time required for gait design

It is a small field that is obscure from mainstreamScience and Engineering but shares the same principles and theories taught at any institution ofhigher learning. The function of this small group touches almost every action we do and everytransaction we make in our day to day existence. Two such examples of this that are easilyrelated to are
the product’s behavior during testing cannot shapeiterative design efforts if they go unnoticed. What students learn as they iteratively plan, buildand test their designs depends in part on whether their attention is focused or diffused. Helpingteachers to get students to notice critical and problematic features in their designs is a challengethat may be helped with the simple application of the 4-item diagnostic reasoning protocol usedin this study, though the efficacy of such actions will require future testing in laboratory andclassroom settings.

Among thoseare measurements of length, weight, torque, temperature and power. Calibration of the Page 13.742.2instruments making those measurements is critical to good business.

The experiment aims at determiningoptimum engraving parameters for 20 gage stainless steel at 0.034” thickness and tostatistically compare the performance between the two machines. The same material willbe engraved on both machines.
