agreed to incorporate the nanotechnology-based design project intotheir sections. This project required students to develop a Graphical User Interface (GUI) usingMATLAB to teach their peers about nanotechnology for a real project partner (nanoHUB.org).17The student teams received a memo from the project partner that described the details of theassignment (Appendix A). The project was driven by five criteria: 1. Clearly helps peers understand the Size & Scale of nanotechnology (big idea #1), 2. Clearly assists peers in connecting Size & Scale to at least one other nanoscience big idea 3. Clearly engages peers in how criteria 1 and 2 apply to one or more engineering disciplines via model(s) or simulation(s) 4. Is highly

Given cold water flowing through an arbitrary shape where z1 = 100 ft, z2 =50 ft, p1 = 30 lbf/in2, V1 = 25 ft/s, V2 = 1ft/s, and  = 62.4 lbf/ft3. Since water is essentiallyincompressible in this range, then the unknown pressure p2 can be determined by rewritingBernoulli’s equation using algebra as follows:  V 2  V22  p2  p1   ( z1  z2 )    1   2g Note that each term has basic dimensions of force per area (length2) and the rules

The AS3 provides asimple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, atany time, from anywhere on the web5. It gives any developers access to the same highlyscalable, reliable, secure, fast, inexpensive infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its ownglobal network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to passthose benefits on to developers. Data stored in AS3 is secured by default. AS3 supportsmultiple access control mechanisms, as well as encryption for both secure transit andsecure storage on disk. With AS3’s data protection features, the user can protect data

PAESMEM scholars’ valued mentoring practices, thepresent study has generated recommendations for mentors seeking to advance their mentees’efforts in STEM fields. Mainly, mentors should attempt to establish a caring and respectfulrelationship with the mentee. Mentors should also carefully balance the level of structure presentin the relationship so as to allow the protégé to maintain independence while still encouragingtheir success. More specific suggestions will require additional research to be performed on thepractices utilized by PAESMEM recipients.Bibliography1. Mueller, S. (2004).

Due to the fact, the low cost remote control car’s steeringmechanism consisted of just a DC motor; we used a motordriver that paired well with the Arduino Uno to turn theArduino signal into a physical action. While the initial prototype completed its intended task, weunderstood our final model would require a higher velocityand a more advanced steering control.
