innovative pedagogies that can help enhancethe employability of students. In response to this need, an exploratory study was conducted at asatellite campus of a large, Midwestern research-focused university. The intervention includedthe implementation of an entrepreneurially minded and communication-focused project,developed by the instructor of an upper-level undergraduate manufacturing course. Post-completion of the project, a metacognitive reflection assignment was administered to theparticipants and subsequently, data was collected. Participant responses were qualitativelyanalyzed using thematic analysis which led to the discovery of three themes: (1) identifyingvalue in nature-inspired design, (2) confidence in communication and self-expression

With the state error equal to zero, the state translation model canbe considered zero also, as the translation model is made by the predicted state estimate time.With the predicted state estimation and the state translation model equal to 0, they can beremoved from the algorithm internally. This should save computational power as it will reducethe amount of multiplication required in the algorithm.The overall block design of the sensor fusion algorithm can be seen in Figure 1.

It is also important to note that geologic interpretation tied to core analysis canintroduce human error and subjectivity. Here too, a properly trained neural network can generateresults with extreme levels of accuracy and precision.
