A fully online asynchronous 14-weekcourse delivery schedule was found to be more effective, although this was not what was reportedduring the initial stakeholder surveys. Finally, the hiring of a single, well-qualified recruiter/advisorhas been valuable.

Internal consistency for each factor was determined by a Cronbach’s alpha value higher than 0.70[32]. The breakdown of eachfactor can be found in the tables below. s part of the exploratory factor analysis, we named the factors to determine underlying themesAin grouping the survey items. Factor 1 included survey items related to limited growth, lack of flexibility, and discouraged creativity, so we called this factor “Limited Innovation and Growth.” Factor 2 included survey items related to slow work, unproductive work, and isolation, so we called this factor

decided that cold air wouldbe a better option to be noticeable in all conditions and clothing types. To achieve this, a vortextube is used to convert the compressed air into cold air. For the air to be noticeable from at least 6feet away, the ideal velocity out of the nozzle needs to be 1.5-2 m/s. Because of this, a 100 SCFMEXAIR vortex tube was used for this design. The breech simulation already uses an air compressorfor the other operations, so a branch hose will be taken off the compressor to provide air for thevortex tube.With the original visual recoil system already finished, the team decided that for not only ease ofuse but also ease of manufacturing, the ring would be modified to fit the vortex tube and compo-nents needed
