The divisions are led bystudents and typically begin with each project team reporting on their progress, the issues theyencountered during the week and their goals for the coming week. A leadership structure isdesigned with a student project manager in charge of the overall division with design leaders foreach project team. The majority of the class time is spent working with the advisor(s) and TAswith individual teams. In 2019-20 there were 40 divisions and over 1100 students enrolled overthe academic year.Students are required to keep electronic design notebooks using Microsoft’s OneNote as theprimary repository for their work.

second modification to the alterative assessment scheme is the integration of more evaluationsessions throughout the semester (e.g., category three), which will allow students to know theiracademic standing in the course early in the course. For this particular accommodation, the authorsare planning to include a thorough evaluation session regarding the comprehension of lecturematerial and assignments for each student. As such, the integration of these two modifications willbe implemented and evaluated in subsequent semesters.REFERENCES[1] Balaji, N., Murthy, P., Kumar, D., Chaudhury, S.

Inherent Social Constraints: The Jordanian women were affected with all the inherited social constraints that may deviate their thinking from getting involved in certain activities. Some of these activities do not welcome women. For instance, attitude tests in the 1970’s demonstrated that social implications and social responsibility issues have a significant effect on girls’ choices, but little on boys’1. This is in spite of the fact that studies indicated that men and women are attracted to the engineering profession for similar reasons, including ability in mathematics and science, career opportunities, challenge, and good salary prospects. 2.

Themeaning of these terms is rarely (one might even venture to say “if ever”) defined ahead of time,leading us to wonder: exactly what expectations are the students being asked to meet with regardto creativity, and what rubric(s) are their instructors using to assess them? Without a betterframework for defining creativity (in design and elsewhere), instructors cannot evaluate theirstudents accurately and objectively or guide them towards improved performance.Sorting Things Out: Problem Solving and the Distinction between Level and StyleTo help resolve this dilemma, we turn to Kirton’s Adaption-Innovation (A-I) theory12, a well-established branch of problem solving theory that offers rigorous definitions and cleardistinctions between

Each neuron receives the same input vector, p,but produces a separate output. A network of S neurons has S outputs and can be represented ina manner similar to the single neuron network shown in figure 1. However, the weights are nowthe rows of a weight matrix W of size S x R. Accordingly, b, n, and a become column vectors oflength S, or S x 1 matrices. Thus, for an S neuron neural network with input p, we obtain Soutputs, which are contained in the S x 1 matrix

That is, a sample could only be globally random for sequences of,say, 100,000 digits while it might not appear at all random when a sequence of less than 500digits is considered. Usually in a statistical environment, the numeric sequence need to be a large one (30 or moreentries) before we could talk about whether the sequence is random or not. For example, in atossing of a coin denoting a head by 1 and a tail by 0, if we get 15 0’s successively, can we saythat the coin is biased statistically? The answer is no

That ten yearwindow has closed, and while the project has
