If the value is a fraction the system is considered amping since interactions make theprocess gain effectively larger than when the system is completely open. If the value is greaterthan one the system is crunching. The interactions due to the other controlled or closed loopsactually make the effective process gain less. The objective is to choose the pairings so that therelative gain array is closest to one where system acts as if it is decoupled e.g. no interactionsfrom the other loops. The relative gain array also helps in tuning the individual controllers causeone can plan for the interactions

Again, this is partially due to the small size of [institution name redacted]’sengineering program and the trend towards classes either being fully in-person or fully online.Because the survey is anonymous and does not ask students about class performance, it is alsonot possible to compare survey responses with student performance during class.

Self-efficacy has been related towomen’s plans to persist in engineering. Women who have higher self-efficacy, especiallyBlack, Latina/x, and Indigenous women, are more likely to persist in engineering careers [23].Conversely, research has demonstrated that women who have lower self-efficacy are more likelyto drop out of

These expressions both suggest aMaster Craftsman, a Master Engineer. Timaeus demurs on the specific path taken, claiming thathe can only give a probable account. Clearly, there is freedom in the evolutionary path, but, headds, emphatically, that one thing is for certain, that the emergence of the universe always movesto the Good, moves from each current state to a more desirable future state.
