the time thatcan be devoted to this algebra practice. A simple method of partial fraction expansion, to check the studentswork or do the work for them, allows the students to learn more about how mathematical expressionsrepresent the circuits operation. In Matlab, the residue@,D) command provides a partial fraction expansion of a polynomial withnumerator, N, and denominator, D. For instance, consider a simple series RLC circuit with the output takenacross the capacitor. After transformation of this circuit into the Laplace domain and a few calculations,Equation [1] is found to represent the Laplace polynomial of the output of the circuit, where VO(S) is theoutput across the capacitor and VI(S) is the generalized input waveform.A common

in the rejected heat by a shaded and unshaded condenser isdue to solar flux received by the condenser face area. Thus, to investigate the effects of a shadedcondenser on the COP of the refrigeration cycle, solar flux was skipped for the correlatingequations and compared to the normal case when solar flux is available.The improvement in the COP of the cycle was defined as:𝐼 (1)where the subscripts “s” and “u” stand for shaded and unshaded cases, respectively.To evaluate the COP of each case, equations (2) and (3) were used for shaded and unshadedCOP, respectively.𝐶𝑂𝑃 (2) ,𝐶𝑂𝑃

However, in that animation, students observe theresults of a completed process and it is difficult for the novices among them to learn from thedetails that led to the final results they see on the animation.

As evidenced by their SAT Math achievement scores and high GPA’swhich prompted their admission, these students are smart. However, they received their STEMeducation in low performing urban and rural high schools and were raised in highly challengedunder-resourced neighborhoods. Research shows that these talented students succumb to theintensity of the 1st and 2nd year university math/science courses.

bringing the entrepreneurial mindset to engineering education. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 The rise of rapid prototyping in a biomedical engineering design sequenceIntroductionPrototyping has always played an important role in the design process as way to determineconceptual viability and iterate upon an idea. Over the last decade, the decreasing costs,improved accuracy, and wide-spread availability of rapid prototyping (RP) technology haslowered the barriers to early-stage prototyping. At universities, the result has been the rise ofmaker’s spaces, skill-based pop-up classes and rapid design challenges. In this paper, we explorethe history of rapid prototyping throughout the 1990’s and 2000
