of methods and systems forobjective measurement and detection requires the identification of the dependent physicalparameters, which are impacted by flow patterns. Any attempt to find such parameters and describetheir relationships contributes to the process of finding such a system to detect flow patterns. Thispaper presents the results of an exploratory experimental research project on two variations ofoptical system response to changes of three arbitrarily chosen flow patterns and changes of mixtureviscosity. The analysis of the results should provide guidance for the next steps in the developmentof flow pattern detections and the applicability of optical systems to this purpose.

If students are permitted to look at the formula to determine the an-swer, then do not make the check cell hidden.Professors can make cheating even more difficult by using random number generators to provideproblems for each student that have the same logical structure, but different parameters. For ex-ample, one student’s problem might have an initial investment of $100,000, whereas another stu-dent’s might have a cost of $103,000 and a slightly different project life.

characterizing other electricity markets and larger geographicregions. Thus, the model structure provides the ability to reach a wider audience. IntroductionThe Texas Interactive Power Simulator was designed at the University of Texas at Austin inpartnership with Power Across Texas, a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization. The purpose of thepartnership was to devise a model that effectively communicates key lessons concerning thetradeoffs of electricity generation methods to a predominately Texas audience. Target audiencesinclude students, state legislators and their staff, as well as the general public. The TexasInteractive Power Simulator accomplishes the project goals by allowing the user to manipulatethe

The second characteristic is defined by a new increase in the TEG performancethis would be signified by computing the energy losses and comparing these losses to the powergeneration. This is best approached by utilizing a quasi-steady state conditions and by treating eachtime interval as its own event the trend can be seen as a function of temperature. This showed thatthere was a notable improvement of power generation across the system. While the results showpromise and show a clear divergence in a positive direction over a large number of data sets a lot ofwork can be done moving forward. Further, the potential for this project is heavily based upon theconcept of

Lowerrepresentation of URMs in STEM can be attributed to a variety of factors including, a lack ofinstitutional commitment, a lack of representation throughout students’ upbringing, ineffectivecultural recruitment/outreach efforts, educational discrepancies throughout PK-12, and socialexpectations, among others.

As opposed to being concise, to the point, or having the data speak for themselves, scholarly writing relies on analysis, synthesis, and logical construction of a proposition with appropriate support. Technical writing is generally designed primarily to transmit specific information, while scholarly writing is designed to underpin the creation of new knowledge.Thus, the way in which technical communication programs approach teaching writing—along with debates on whether or not technical writing

Indeed, given that students had no prior experience in coding, theweek-long activities appeared particularly effective in instilling a sense of competence in theparticipants, which may encourage students’ future participation in STEM related educationalpathways and careers. In addition, the camp likely facilitated students’ feelings of autonomy byallowing them to engage in self-directed activities, such as coming up with their own ideas forshowcase projects. A sense of relatedness is also likely a consequence of the camp, as

But most importantly, since project/lab-based learning is one of the most effective andbetter resonating methods of learning, and one that distinguishes between engineering programs[5, 6]; engineering students immediately feel that they are getting their money’s worth whenengaging in a laboratory environment. Different engineering schools struggled to convince their students with “emergency”remote laboratory classes as an alternative to in-person laboratory classes [7, 8]. As ABET has notrelaxed any accreditation requirements, it was mandated that
