description, methodology and results are presentedin the following sections.Description of the Senior Design ProjectIn this senior design project, students should minimize the energy consumption of an industrialrobot without changing its planned task defined by manufacturers. The LR Mate 200iD/4S R-30iB Fanuc industrial robot [13] was employed in the research study defined in this project. Thisrobot is shown in Fig. 1 and has 6 axes, with 550 mm reach area. The motion range of Joints 1 to6 of this robot is 340°, 230°, 402°, 380°, 240°, and 720°, respectively. The maximum speed ofJoints 1 to 6 is also 460°/s, 460°/s, 520°/s, 560°/s, 240°/s, 720°/s, respectively. The maximumpayload capacity of this robot is 4 kg. The ultimate goal is to develop MATLAB
skills.The testing will be done with students from varied backgrounds to assess how individuals studyingin a variety of domains are impacted by their beliefs about knowledge and their own abilities.Subsequently, the researchers will develop interventions that are applicable in existing curricula.Such interventions will be informed by the knowledge that designing and building are correlatedwith a high level of spatial skills.Bibliography1.

” program, which is facilitated once a week at a science museum and isdesigned for children aged 3-6 years old. Within this context, we have set up an engineeringstation, where children and adults are invited to engage in engineering design-build activitieswith the understanding that participating in these activities also entails participation in theresearch study. The child(ren) and adult(s) attend to two different engineering challenges(“design a tower as tall as this plant out of foam blocks” and “design as tall a tower as you canusing the Dado Squares”), working on each task until the child is ready to be done, while video-recorders capture the family’s interactions (see Figure 1). The two challenges were selected tocapture variation based on

In this personal interaction, theinstructor will assess „in real time‟ the student‟s understanding of any number of prerequisiteskills and knowledge and will adjust the direction and pace of the meeting, and ideally respondwith sensitivity, insight, and accuracy at teach point of assessment during the tutorial session.The long-term goal of this effort is to create, using interactive software, an effective substitutefor the one-on-one, across-the-desk tutorial experience for the advanced placement engineeringor engineering technology student needing
Doped Fiber Laser (EDFL) pulse (Clark ERFlaser) was dispersed across the AOM’s aperture and was then modulated in aconventional pulse shaper. The past experiment tested 87 channels with channel-spacingof 0.41 nm using a 518-MHz modulator, and 120 channels with channel-spacing of 0.29nm using an 148-MHz modulator. In both cases, the full width at half maximum(FWHM) of the pulse spectrum was 35 nm, and the updating rate of the AOMs was 3 µs.Starting from the original pulses, this modulation creates time slots of 43 ps and 63.4 ps;thus the equivalent speed of the transmission will be 2.0 Tb/s and 1.9 Tb/s in a highlymultiplexed system. Such a system requires a terahertz-multiplexing device, such as theTOAD 18-20; similar devices can be used as

in theUniversity of Missouri system, close to 90 percent of the 7,000-plus students enrolled areseeking degrees in engineering or hard sciences. There are approximately 440 full- and part-timefaculty members, the majority of which are tenured or tenure-track. Eighty-three percent are inSTEM disciplines.Many of these professors were teaching several years ago when it was common for freshmen inpacked lecture halls to hear, “Look to your right; look to your left. One of you won’t be here thistime next year.” Although that is no longer the accepted slogan at Missouri S&T, and studentsgenerally hear more empathetic messages from faculty on campus dedicated to their success,teaching strategies have not evolved all that much over the years
: Neural Networks, ART, FAM, GFAM, GEAM, Hybrid, Genetic Algorithm I. INTRODUCTIONTHE Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) architecture was developed by Grossberg (1976) [1].In 1992 Mr. Carpenter developed a Neural Network (NN) called Fuzzy ARTMAP (FAM) [2].FAM architectures became very popular and were used in the literature to successfully solvemany classification problems. Researchers then developed other ART NN‟s such as EAM [5]and GAM [6] that used different category representations to attain better performance and toreduce the effect of a phenomenon called Category Proliferation (CP) (Creating extra categoriesfor better performance especially when used with noisy data). The authors noted that FAM,GAM and EAM

responsibility, and practical skills through a student-centred pedagogy[75]. Thus, these teaching methodologies can be considered like one another.PBL is a pedagogical approach that has gained popularity in academic circles due to its emphasison integrated and cohesive learning activities [76]. Barber [77] contends that PBL, as a newteaching model, places students at the forefront and redefines the role of the teacher. Mills [71]reports positive outcomes of PBL in engineering education, demonstrating its effectiveness forboth students and teachers over a decade-long evaluation. In engineering education, PBL hasemerged as one of the most frequently used teaching methods, known for promoting designthinking. According to Van 's [79] study, an 'engineering
marginalized students in the engineering college, which consists of 12 disciplinary departments [1]. Our previous quantitative studyfound that students marginalized on the bases of gender, race/ethnicity, and/or household incomelevel experienced both disproportionately low representation rates and diminished outcomes. Weare interested in determining how the quantitative results are impacted by a focus specifically onaerospace engineering students.Existing research on retention of diverse students in aerospace engineering undergraduate programs is scarce. General reports of demographical representation are published annually by theAmerican Society of Engineering Education [2]. Orr et al.’s 2015 study [3] was effectively thefirst study to

The AS3 provides asimple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, atany time, from anywhere on the web5. It gives any developers access to the same highlyscalable, reliable, secure, fast, inexpensive infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its ownglobal network of web sites. The service aims to maximize benefits of scale and to passthose benefits on to developers. Data stored in AS3 is secured by default. AS3 supportsmultiple access control mechanisms, as well as encryption for both secure transit andsecure storage on disk. With AS3’s data protection features, the user can protect data
, as a whole, the educational system has fallen short inSTEM education. Oddly universities and institutions7 appear to produce competent scientists andmathematicians but they deliver only mediocre engineering graduates when consideringpractitioner needs. Decades back some forecasted an erosion of the nation‟s ability to technicallycompete in the emerging world market. Others warned of serious losses in market share thatwould be accompanied by economic downturns in the U.S. and subsequent job shortages. Todaymuch of that prognostication appears to have materialized.Over the years opinions varied, sometimes disagreeing, as to the best remedies for turningengineering education more toward the costumers‟ needs (i.e. industry) but always there was

plannedto be presented in a separate paper at the 2022 American Society of Engineering EducationNational Conference.Additional resources on SAFEChEWhile the majority of the SAFEChE initiative is built around the course specific industrialaccident focused modules, the SAFEChE team wants to have the website to be an additional hubfor other tools for processes safety to be used in other courses or possibly by studentorganizations. One core component of the chemical engineering curriculum that the websitedoes not have CSB modules for is the Chemical Engineering (or Unit Operations) Laboratorycourse(s). These labs tend to focus on more practical “soft” and less theory-based skills usingcalculations and equations taught in lecture classes. As a result
that can support lightweight, scalable, and relationallearning experiences of many types. In some sense, what we are after is a relational form ofmicrolearning, where learners can engage in short personalized learning experiences, but inrelational interactions embedded in and influencing a larger social system.AcknowledgmentsWe would like to acknowledge our fellow authors across the ongoing projects mentioned: RyanAnderson, Nisha Charagulla, Ana Guo, Atira Nair, and Rhea Sharma.
