Before the introduction of the program, duringESP only junior and senior engineering cadets could be found in the engineering buildings.Often, these students were in computer labs working on lab reports, design projects, and otherhomework assignments. Now, freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior cadets can be found inall rooms of the building. Throughout the duration of ESP, upperclassmen lead SI sessions forfreshmen and sophomore students.

The accuracy of facerecognition degrades quickly when the illumination is dim or when the face is not uniformlyilluminated2. A person’s appearance will typically change dramatically if the intensity of lightreflected from the face is changed1. Add to this a change in the direction the illumination isoriginating from, resulting in shading and shadows being created, the angle of view a camera hason the subjects face, and a person can become unrecognizable to a facial recognition system.1 Hiremath and Prabhakar 2 noted that there are also variances in how light reflects fromhuman faces depending on the color, or skin tone of people from different

conclusion will be presentedin Section 5.2. Fundamentals of Solar EnergySolar energy has the theoretical potential to power the entire world. Over the course of a year,the earth receives 17 GW of energy from the sun. Approximately 30% of the solarradiation is reflected back into space while the rest is absorbed by clouds, oceans, and landmasses. So the earth’s surface receives roughly 89 GW of energy. The yearly globalconsumption of energy is 16 GW5. Therefore, capturing all the global solar energy for asmall time period can nearly fulfill this amount. Solar energy can be converted to both heat andelectricity. Solar heating can be used to provide domestic hot water, space heating, cooking, anddrying. Direct solar

Students often worktogether and always had ample opportunity to receive help during office hours. In addition, thenumber of students is small to determine statistically significant differences.The performance on the exams may be a more accurate reflection of students’ learning (seeTable 4). The midterm exam covered content from the inverted part of the 2011 class. Eachyear the exact questions on the midterm change, but are in general very similar (data from earlierversions of the course from 1997 to 2005 is not shown).

In practice there is an extra arc added before and after thetest circle to allow for the machine accelerating and then slowing down. By using extension barsthe test radius can be selected to reflect the size of the machine and the sensitivity to particularissues (e.g. large radius circles are better at highlighting machine geometry errors, smaller circlesare more sensitive to servo mismatch or lag).
