Each homework assignment hadan individual write-up that detailed content (i.e., WebCT quiz, homework problem(s) and/orPSpice simulation(s)) with specific instructions as to expectations and requirements. Onlinequizzes throughout the semester were associated with specific homework assignments and wereintended to provide a “sanity-check,” or hints to common areas of difficulty in understanding ofstrategies and concepts. Since the quizzes were implemented in WebCT, the student receivedimmediate feedback upon submission that included detailed explanatory notes for any incorrectresponses.

citizens. You have been chosen by the governor of your state to be part of an engineering team responsible for designing underground living quarters to house all the people in your State. There are numerous rock formations well suited for the construction of underground living areas. Your engineering team’s responsibility is to determine the best location or locations. To accomplish this, your team will have to explore geological maps of your state, test rocks and identify important rock properties. Your main goal is to determine the best candidate location(s) for your caverns. Good Luck. Your state is counting on you!Asteroid Impact also uses the five-step Engineering design process

Session 2560We collected data from a wide variety of sources that provided both a historical and comparativeviewpoint. Then we analyzed the data and presented some basic facts regarding the digital dividethat exists in the world today along with the negative effects that it has upon nations and thepeople groups who are the most impacted by the resulting informational and economic poverty.We present former and current actual factors of the West-East and East-East digital divide. Wealso discuss and point out the valiant efforts that some are making for the tearing down of thewall of economic isolation and silence that currently divides the “haves” from the “have-nots”.1.

In the case of the Honors Physics class, this involved theapplication of constraint graphs to problems concerning energy, work, and momentum. Theequations I = F × t , p = m × v , W = F × s , and KE = 0.5 × m × v ^ 2 were formed into aconstraint network with which problems were solved. Afterwards, the students were asked toaugment the problem by linking another equation, s = v × t , to solve for distance. Throughoutthe process, we noticed that students seemed to enjoy the graphical representation as it wasextremely novel and somewhat

Since all of the agents beginfrom the same starting point, the nest, they are each able to share meaningful goal locationinformation with the others. More importantly, the goal location information is improved eachtime the next robot in succession discovers the goal location. This is due to the fact that everyrobot sends a message to the rest of the group when it discovers the goal location, thus anyimprovements to the original goal location data are passed on.

South Cone such as the enterprisesof the region can protect themselves from others outside. The enterprises of the Bloc canassociate to each other to improve the quality of goods and services and get lower prices and sohave a larger consumer market. These are among others the immediate good consequences ofthis commercial integration. This is an economic bloc closer to the European Union; it is aneconomical – commercial project that is also political. The union process was conceived anddeveloped considering gradual changes so that they do not provoke crises or difficulties for noneof the four Countries.Mercosul has a history that dates back to the 50’s; many endeavors of integration took place andthe first two ones were the ABC – Argentina
