1917 an endowment was established, the Rotary Foundation, to“enable Rotarians to advance world understanding, goodwill, and peace through theimprovement of health, the support of education, and the alleviation of poverty.” The RotaryFoundation funds humanitarian activities, from local service projects to global initiatives. Inaddition, the Rotary has encouraged collaboration with other agencies or programs and providesgrants for programs and projects that promote the Rotary’s mission. The Rotary uses a “Four-way Test” for anything the organization discusses, plans, and implements4: 1. Is it the TRUTH? 2. Is it FAIR to all concerned? 3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned

Engineering undergraduates enrolled in physics and thermodynamics reported thefrequency of use of problem-solving strategies, confidence in their ability to solve problems, andanswered demographic questions. Measures of performance included course grades. Factor-analytic methods that were applied to students’ reports of strategy use identified three types ofstrategies, which were labeled Execution, Planning and Looking Back, and Low Confidence inAbility. The three factors were significant predictors of course performance, based on correlationand regression methods that were applied to the data. The study provides evidence that usingproblem-solving strategies improves

finished at the same time, one might have to wait until the second is done;  parallel teaching – in this mode, the instruction is planned jointly by both (or more) teachers, but it is delivered to only half of the class. An example given by researchers is the use of this type of teaching to explain different points of view of a same topic where each half of the class is instructed on the same topic, but through two different points of view. Then, the whole class can come back together and discuss on the topic using those two points of view;  alternative teaching – in this type of co-teaching, one instructor is responsible for a larger

For example, it is clear that if theeducational intervention is intended to ensure that every first grader is reading on grade level,then it is possible to have a non-empty acceptable zone. However, if the intention is for everythird grader to understand calculus, then it is highly unlikely that there will be any acceptableend states. For most cases, the answer to this question will be determined by how well theintervention matches the given context of the school being studied.The second question is also dependent upon the context but it is also highly dependent on theavailable resources.

The goal of the project is to create a flying robot that can liftand land safely, maintain level flight, and follow a simple straight line flight pattern while avoidingobstacles. As of this writing, a prototype machine has been designed and built. The actualimplementation and testing of the electronic hardware design and control algorithms are currentlybeing performed.
