This activity wasgiven near the end of the semester and in some ways served as a “capstone” project for thestudents. Students were allowed to select a topic(s) based on the course readings, class lecturesand discussions, any of the video segments, or topics brought up through the guest lectures. Inaddition, students were encouraged to consider the topic of their short paper as a springboard fortheir creative projects.Students were required to submit a proposal, in 250 words or less, that included an overview oftheir proposed project.

This requires a high level of “resiliency” defined as theability to overcome and rise above adversity and difficult situations. Page 26.89.3Resiliency describes one´s ability to move forward with optimism and self-confidence evenwhen we are immersed in adversity. It is a mental state motivated by our thoughts, which arein part formulated by our success and our interpretations of past and current

The Fanning friction factor is still implicitly defined, but can be read off the Moodydiagram.Reducing the volume flow to 𝑞 = 0.1 l/s, we find the flow to be laminar, since we have defined Re= 2100 as the critical value.As a final question, we ask the students to investigate the highest possible temperature of the waterflow in laminar conditions (pipe diameter and flow rate unchanged):We conclude that the temperature can rise to about 8°C before we enter the turbulent (or at least theintermediate) phase.This example clearly show that many problems that are too complicated to solve using pencil andpaper, are within reach

This approach enables us to examine the structure of project teams whilealso examining the institutional and contextual factors that contribute to team climate, and to thedevelopment of group norms that affect team interactions. Structuration accounts for theinfluence of institutional factors such as rules or norms of what is “acceptable” or “appropriate”behavior within a specific social context, while also affording the actors within that contextagency to effect those structural influences. This theory envisions a reflexive relationship inwhich institutional influences constrain and enable

SHA is a family ofcryptographic hash functions that the National Institute of Standards and Technology beganpublishing in the early 1960’s. SHAvisual is designed to help students learn and instructorsteach the SHA-512 algorithm. It consists of three major components: Demo Mode, PracticeMode and Full Mode. A separate global view window helps highlight the current procedure inthe algorithm pipeline. The Demo Mode provides a simplified SHA-512 visualization and isuseful for the instructor to demonstrate important operations in the classroom. The PracticeMode is designed for students to learn the
