In thehealthcare sector, AI’s role is increasingly pivotal, aiding in the early diagnosis of diseases andeven preempting potential health crises. The field of autonomous driving has witnessed AIsuccessfully tackle the intricacies of real-world traffic scenarios, a feat once believed to beexclusive to human cognition. In the creative arts, AI’s footprint extends to composing music,generating art, and writing stories, illustrating its burgeoning creative capabilities.Despite these groundbreaking advancements, a critical aspect where AI still lags is inunderstanding and interpreting human emotions and the subtleties of social

challenge §1: evidence that boundary layers exist Create a physical demonstration to be conducted by the student themselves to see first-hand the existence of boundary layers.When the existence of boundary layers is clear, they can be analysed, which requiresapproximation of the equations of motion. It is convention to write the equations of motion andstate the order of magnitude of each term to highlight which can be neglected. A summary of theanalysis is in Appendix B.The ‘order of magnitude’ analysis lacks meaning to the uninitiated learner. Further, the commonassumption δ /L ≪ 1, where δ is the boundary layer thickness and L is its characteristic length, isnot always true and it is not clear to the student that this assumption is

Usually, there are numbers that are changed in the assignmentsfrom one school term to the next. However, these changes are largely insignificant. This leads toan academic dishonesty problem with the students. Each term students are caught cheating byre-using laboratory assignments that were submitted by their peers in previous school terms, eventhough they are told explicitly that they are not allowed to do so.

For Pattern H, these include: 1. Design storyboards: Students are asked to document how challenges have been overcome over time through sketches or digital snapshots accompanied by short verbal descriptions. 2. Project and time management: Students develop a timeline with special milestones where feedback and peer evaluations on prototypes or presentations are provided. 3. Instruction and scaffolding for systematic design: Students can be asked to simply read a book on design process as well as

However, potential proposals in this regard face enormous constraints includingrestricted class schedules and credit unit requirements, non-existent coordination betweendifferent departments and schools, and dominant technical priorities of faculty. In addition, weface limited student pre-existent motivation for courses that they may perceive as no straight job-related, as they are mainly unaware of what is at the frontiers and beyond

above. Here we will identify severalworldviews of the PLC from social and cultural perspectives.a) Technological innovation as the prime economic driver: This is the theory that innovation(creative destruction), and the creation of ever new PLCs, is central to economic growth(Schumpeter 16). Progress in technology does account for a large part of economic growth, but itis not a new idea, not even when Schumpeter was writing about it. Innovation to create newPLCs to satisfy venture capitalists was a driver for the first European settlers in North America inthe early 1600s.17 It is embedded in the Constitution of the United States.18 It is still a verywidely and very strongly held belief and a perennial rationale for the benefits, and the costs
