problems, which might require furtherreading from the textbook. The homework assignments were posted at least a week before theywere due and at the same time the lecture slides corresponding to the assignments were posted.An optional 2-hour help session was held the night before the homework assignments were due.The help session was led by an undergraduate teaching assistant. All of the homeworkassignments were graded and comprised 20% of the student’s grade. The solutions for thehomework assignments were posted on-line shortly after the assignments were turned in. Atypical homework problem might be: (a) Show that the circuit in Figure P3.2 is functionallyequivalent to the circuit in Figure P3.1. (b) How many transistors are needed to build

Since individual departments control both curriculum andenforcement of initiatives directly to the staff and faculty, the academic department can also playa pivotal role in a safety culture.

document rapidly becamefar more specific when it indicated that the desired outcome was to increase calculus successrates. This led us to begin a mandated, comprehensive review of our Calculus I, II, and IIIofferings.Since enrollment in each of Calculus II, Calculus III, and Differential Equations requires a C orbetter in prerequisite coursework, we defined grades of A, B, and C to be successful and all othertranscripted grades (D, F, WD, HR) to be unsuccessful. Although we began the redesign effortin Fall 2013, most of the initial data presented here runs through Spring 2015 because of asubstantive change introduced as part of the redesign in Fall 2015.

isused to sinter the metal powder into the desired product shape bonded to the processing table.The upper surface of the table is heated to alleviate rapid temperature changes resulting fromlaser sintering, therefore, increasing the sintering precision. After the metal powder is sintered,the LUMEX squeezes and supplies metal powder with a thickness of 0.05 mm to form the nextlayer and sinter all the laminated layers. Squeezing and laser sintering steps are repeated 10 timesuntil thickness of 0.5 mm (0.019 in) is achieved, then, the LUMEX goes to the phase of millingas illustrated with Figure 2(b).

In this paperperformance analysis of such an inexpensive set of hardware is discussed for introductorycontrol theory class. The hardware is smaller in size and shows satisfactory experimentalperformance, which suggests that this can be a good fit for introductory control theorylaboratory.IntroductionStudies show that introductory control theory classes have a growing need for laboratoryexercise. But many difficulties like cost, class size and space limitations arise when laboratoriesare included [1, 2]. The New Earth Robotics Motor Lab (NERMLAB) can be a solution to theseproblems.

computing is investigated. Theapproach, which is called Seed since it is patterned after biological systems, consists of Seedvirtual machine (VM), Seed composer, and Seed user interface (UI). The VM facilitates all thecomputations happening in the system. The composer breaks up the code to be ran into smallersegments for future optimization and more fine-grained control over what is running. The UI isthe interface a user will interact to use the system. This project examined the feasibility of anobject-oriented VM based on C++ programming. The VM was implemented with an object-oriented memory system to store all the data being computed on, an interpreter which executesthe bytecodes associated with computation and updates the data in the Object

While theliterature suggests that better classroom organization is effective in reaching students, educatorsmust also realize that many different learning styles and preferences are represented by thestudents in our classes. Centering the class on an advanced technology or a theme, such as aplant trip or life cycle assessment, can help us better reach the students.
