Students used the software package MAPLE for this lab.Each of the Principle of Design sections had a different statistics and curve-fitting project. Forexample, students in one section measured their heart rate before and after sixty seconds ofexercise. Statistical analysis and curve fitting of the data was performed using a spreadsheetsoftware package (Microsoft Excel). The mean and standard deviation of the classes’ heart rateswere determined before and after exercise. In addition, paired and unpaired t-tests wereperformed to determine if exercise caused a significant change in heart rate.While it

The lumped mass model basically consisted of a steel/aluminum cylindrical solid masspiece screwed to one end of a 1/8 in. diameter rod, and the other end of the rod was rigidlyconnected to a wood block. The lumped mass models were an additional simplification of the1/24-scale models described in the previous section, as illustrated in Figures 6(a) and 6(b).These are intended for physical observation only. In the lumped mass model shown in Figure6(b), the rod represents the building columns, and the cylindrical lumped mass represents therigid top floor. Both the models shown

The radar engineer must use statistical techniques to assess detection performance. The concept of continuous probability density function is developed through discrete probability histogram1, and is used to explain the probability of detection without overwhelming students with the complexities of probability theory. (b) Antenna is one of the integral components of a radar system. The concept of antenna theory is quite complex, so only pertinent features of antenna are covered with minimum amount of mathematical rigor. Only the antenna types commonly

The number of students enrolled ineach class did not always make it possible to match freshman groups to seniors on a one-to-onebasis, leading to communication and work load problems. The difficulties of finding a commonmeeting time for a group of 4 or 5 freshman students was compounded by the addition of asenior with a very different schedule. In spite of these difficulties, both the students and thefaculty found the experience to be valuable and worth repeating.1.
