Sensor and Signal ConditioningAngular displacement measurement of the handle is accomplished with a cylindrical permanentmagnet fixed to the handle’s shaft in direct proximity to an inexpensive ($4), dual-axis Halleffect sensor, the EM3242 (AKM Semiconductor, Inc.). This approach avoids rotational frictionand wear and enables a measurement solution for the system’s 360 degree angular range, anoption that was not possible in earlier Haptic Paddle designs. The EM3242’s analog output canalso be fed to an analog differentiator to

Automatic grading can be used toassess many different modeling criteria, including but not limited to the proper selection andplacement of features, feature order, and use of constraints to capture design intent. The criteriaused to check the solid model can be selected to assess both procedural and strategic knowledge.Future work will involve implementation of automatic grading for quizzes, homework exercisesand/or online tutorials. We will design a range of skills assessments using the Precision LMSsystem and evaluate improvements in the students’ modeling skills.

Minority Participation: America’s Scienceand Technology Talent at the Crossroads: Underrepresented minority groups comprised 28.5 percent of our national population in 2006, yet just 9.1 percent of college-educated Americans in science and engineering occupations (academic and nonacademic), suggesting the proportion of underrepresented minorities in S&E would need to triple to match their share of the overall U.S. population. (p. 3) 1The under-representation of minorities as well as females and persons with disabilities is notsimply a demographic problem but also a social justice problem in a society that professes to beegalitarian and democratic 2.

It allowsacademic advisor to provide timely and helpful feedback to students.Although these students were not widely separated by distance, their class schedules made itdifficult to hold full team meetings outside of regularly scheduled class times. They learned toleverage Redmine to work independently but share results across the full team. This experiencehelps students transition to the business world after graduation. Our students learn theimportance of collaboration and gain exposure to the tools that can facilitate this.References 1. Sheppard S, Macatangay K, Colby A, Sullivan WM. Educating
