, a rapid exponential decay and a low gyro-magnetic ratio makes sodium MRI more challenging. The new Phase Sensitive B1 mapping technique describes B1 homogeneity better than the standard dual angle method and for a broader range of flip angles under high noise situations. Thus, Phase Sensitive B1 mapping is a much better candidate for sodium MRI, with high noise and large B1 variation.7. Micropower circuit design: The Micropower Circuits Laboratory (MCL) investigates ultra-low-power designs for RF/analog/mixed-signal integrated circuits. Emphasizing both rigorous analysis and intuitive understanding of circuits, MCL’s research seeks innovative designs to set new low-power records. Research projects include ultra-low- power

. StereotypeGender and racial bias which affects how we perceive and treat one another is shaped bycultural stereotypes. Despite a decline in explicit or self-reported bias, implicit or unconsciousbias remains widespread [2]. Babcock and Laschever [3] showed that even women themselveshold stereotypes about women and that women undervalue the work that they perform. A studyfound pervasive gender discrimination among science faculty where faculty were more likely tochoose a male candidate over a female candidate for a student science-laboratory position [4].In this case, both male and female scientists offered a higher salary to a male candidate thanthey did to an identical female candidate. Although this particular study was on faculty biasagainst student

Thestudents had prior practice in creating similar system diagrams for other technological systems.Other parts of the course include class activities, laboratories, and homework assignments thatinvolve creating system diagrams. Some of the other technological systems studied include:automotive systems, home appliances, refrigeration systems, and biomedical devices. Thestudents are familiar with this type of question and have had the opportunity to practice makingsystem diagrams in a variety of contexts.To provide some background on this system, the Extended Range Mode for the Chevy Volt is aninteresting mode of operation. The Volt utilizes extended range mode after batteries have beendepleted. In

Theclass is offered in the winter term and for the past three years, the period over which the QMCSinstrument was administered, the enrollment averaged 8 students per term; typically, one of thosestudents was female. The prerequisite for the course is successful completion of one year ofcalculus-based general physics with the associated laboratories. The typical student hascompleted a course in differential equations with linear algebra. Engineering students areintroduced to MATLAB [2] during their freshman year. We leverage this knowledge of theMATLAB environment along with their experience with linear algebra to manipulate vectors andmatrices—the original language of

It was clear in the planning process that students desired design and constructionas an important aspect of the proposed scope of work.4.1 Scope of Work and Research PlanThe original list of proposed research topics generated by the faculty considered what wasalready known about student interest, faculty interest, laboratory capabilities, and timeconstraints. That list was: 1. Mechanical testing of a variety of 3D printed materials, including common materials infused with strengthening agents. Candidate materials included: • High strength PETT t-glass • ABS carbon fiber 5% • Multi-walled carbon nanotubes

of improving students’ development along one or more of the patterns. Additionally, we believe CSR is a particularly appropriate method for this study because the method permits teaching practices to be studied in the context of a real classroom. The classroom setting within our case study contrasts the laboratory setting used by a large number of studies that have informed the development of the matrix (e.g., [6][9]). The controlled conditions of these research studies do not accurately reflect engineering practice which often requires engineers to work on teams over long durations to solve complex problems. Additionally, the clinical setting does not reflect an educational setting in which a teacher is available to help guide and

social motive can be built explicitly or implicitly. Team projectassignments can be an explicit social motive, and the informal atmosphere can be an implicitway to promote social interaction. Intrinsic motive can be conducted through theimprovement and completeness of laboratory practices, assignments, and projects. Extrinsicmotive can be achieved by offering incentives like rewards, such as extra points, prizes,certificates, etc. CIM believes that only with strong capabilities as a basis, a student’s innovation can beinspired under the guidance of intrinsic or extrinsic motives.
