volume, center ofmass, and moment of inertia to a reference file. Such a comparison is similar to the CertifiedSOLIDWORKS Associate in Mechanical Design exam [7], where students generateSOLIDWORKS files and input a geometric property, such as mass or center of mass, todetermine if their drawing is correct. Bojcetic et al.’s method allows for more refined gradingcriteria, grading features, and sketches in addition to the basic geometry [8]. Overall, thedeveloped automated grading systems speed up the grading time for faculty, allowing for morehomework. Still, they do not provide quick feedback, allowing students to learn by correctingtheir mistakes. Having rapid feedback was the motivation for developing an email-based gradingsystem.Program
andsocial identity development is Turner et al.’s [14] Self-Categorization Theory. This theoryexplicitly notes that, depending on a situation’s relative value to a person, one or both identitytypes will influence the person’s behavior. This is also the reigning difference between Tajfel’s[14] Social Identity Theory and Turner’s [18] Self-Categorization Theory; where the former“suggests a continuum of interpersonal versus intergroup behavior,” the latter “pronounces thatboth—social and personal identity processes—may be at work simultaneously” [15]. Self-Categorization notes that personal identity is the self-descriptions pertaining to one’s personalattributes and social identity is the self-descriptions pertaining to one’s membership of a

Wireless sensor modules were developed which can be attached to thePHAS or the patient. The modules are portable and have onboard power. These modules can alsobe used to record the range of joint motion of any human body segment with little modification.The gait data was reported on a normal healthy person acts as a reference database.References: 1.

to visualize 2x2 and 3x3 matrices by Christian Otto Mohr in thelate 1800’s, Mohr’s circle has since become a foundational, visual tool for mechanics studentsworking to understand the stresses at play at derived points in materials [1]. Undergraduateengineering students are commonly introduced to Mohr’s circle in their Mechanics of Materialsclass as an analytical tool included in the lessons on stress transformations. The basic idea behindMohr’s circle is that normal and shear stresses on a plane within a material depend on theorientation of that plane [2]. Through graphical representation, Mohr’s circle simplifies theprocess of reorienting a given planar section of material to obtain the normal and shear stresses atthe new orientation. It
