Futureenhancements, guided by user feedback, are expected to further improve its interactivity andeducational effectiveness. The design and approach of the Virtual Lab provide a viable solutionfor the ongoing and future development of virtual laboratories in STEM education.References[1] T. de Jong, S. Sotiriou, and D.

We know comparatively little about whichspecific characteristics of postsecondary institutions are associated with women’srepresentation in STEM fields overall (but see [13], [26]), never mind specific STEM fields,such as CS&E. Our approach is also informed by Fox et al.’s [13] recent work, whichsuggests that gendered organizational dynamics and initiatives play out vividly at the sub-unitlevel (college/department/program), depending on the centrality and status of a particular unitwithin the academic institution.

The projectile can be a figure you created or an interesting MATLAB graph point (help plot). Similar to part II, use X1, Y1 as the base of the projectile and change its location by calculating new X1,Y1 pair as t changes inside the loop. Refer to pause, hold on, hold off commands. Before you begin the loop to plot, read in Pa and Va values from the user (2 pts) By placing that loop inside a while(1) loop you can run your program non-stop reading Pa and Pv and accumulate the simulated

grades and demographic information alone is not indicative ofstudent persistence. Achieving an additional 10% accuracy by adding the characteristicspertaining to the freshman year offers further evidence that the first year plays an important rolein students’ ultimate decision to stay with or leave engineering. As can be seen in Appendix M,freshman grades and math class show the highest relative importance. Using these factors aloneas inputs to the PNN provides a 75.9% accuracy of predicting student attrition. These findings demonstrate the importance of the math course(s) taken freshman yearand grades received. Given this insight, great focus should be placed on these variables.

In the small tub, a pencil was drilled through the head of the fish tostabilize the head and only allow movement to the body and tail. Once the stationary actuationwas validated, the fish was placed into a pond to test its movement. Testing the soft robotic fishin a pond helped gain information on how fast and how far the fish swam, and whether or not thefish could stay afloat. After testing, it was found that the fish swam at a speed of approximately0.09 m/s. Using syringes to control hydraulic actuation led to slowing down the fish’s movementand making it difficult for the fish’s tail
