In particular, we highlight part of a report [2] which aims to develop theglobal dimension in shaping the future engineer and highlights the need and importance of theseskills in several areas.Generic Skills from [2]: 1. holistic thinking, critical enquiry, analysis and reflection 2. active learning and practical application 3. self-awareness and empathy 4. strong communication and listening skillsHence, the need to develop holistic thinking as an important skill for students and future citizensof the 21st century appears explicitly. Based on this request –to train students from basiceducation in this area- we decided to explore this part. Holistic thinking is also related toSystems Thinking

We chose different hash function to be able to compare them and chosethe best match for our proposed Architecture. Results of H(VM)’s Execution time are shown inthe Table 2. As seen from the results, the CPU processing time of hashing is basically linear tothe size of the VM templates. SHA-384 and SHA-512 has similar processing time due to the factthe construction of the hashing are very similar. An interesting to note was SHA-256 processtime is actually longer time than SHA-384 and SHA-512. This is because SHA-384 and SHA-512

Evenwhen students were asked to reflect specifically on the teacher, or the lesson, they often providedcritiques regarding the physical environment.

The traditional lecture formatprevents the students from pausing to reflect and understand what is being explained and theymay often miss important points. A goal of Statics is to have students learn to solve problemsindependently, which is a practice-intensive and time-consuming effort for which the lecture canprovide guidance yet relatively little direct assistance.

For example, a researcher can ask participants to list their beliefs about“how the teacher-student relationship should function,” a dimension within the cultural model ofeducation success. Free listing assumes that individuals 1) with extensive knowledge providemore responses than those with less knowledge, 2) list most familiar and meaningful responsesfirst, and 3) provide responses that reflect their local cultural knowledge. 3 Ultimately, free listingmeasures the strongest beliefs shared by participants about this dimension.Currently

We shouldn't interfere with the basic processes of the earth upon which all life depends, in the sky, on the green surfaces of the earth, and in the sea. 3.

This key reflects the lock’s bitting.The blank is placed in the lock, torque is applied, and the key is moved up and down againstthe pins; any pin at the improper height will be bound against the sides of the lock body andcylinder. This binding friction slightly marks the pins on the blank. The key is then removedfrom the lock, inspected for marks, and cut with a file where they are found. Cuts are madeone bit-depth at a time, and the process is repeated. This can be done for all pins in the lock atonce under normal circumstances.

Similarly, bibliometrics account for veryspecific behaviors in scholarly discourse- namely, who a scholar cites in their work andwho a scholar is cited by. Bibliometrics do not reflect the way that these citations areframed in a text, so works that connect two scholars through bibliographic coupling mayreceive different framings (e.g. positive in one article, negative in another) by differentauthors.Research questionsTo that end the following research questions are proposed: 1.

For example, specular reflection for sonar or lighting conditions for infrared. Thissometimes made getting the line following, robot following, and obstacle detection to workcorrectly a bit frustrating. There were also some challenges with the robot marco polo and robotcommunication for similar reasons. One solution we found to make the robot communicationmore accurate was the addition of electrical tape on the sensor to narrow the field of view.Although many of the students had never written a technical memo/report before, reviewedtechnical literature, or written a discussion or annotated bibliography
