Thisdeveloped device can be controlled using any IR-capable remote, is capable of playing high-quality audio, and circumvents advertisements on the free audio streaming web service PandoraRadio using a pre-existing free or paid account. Using this device improves the user's experienceof Pandora Radio in several ways while keeping this device portable and preserving allfunctionality of the Raspberry Pi itself. The goal of this project is to use available tools andintegrate various technological fields into a deliverable consumer product. Consumerelectronics

The test stand is equipped with sensors andmeasurement systems that can be programmed to measure and record the parameters inthe performance analysis of an IC engine such as: rpm, torque, power, air-fuel ratio,temperatures, rate of fuel consumption, thermal efficiency, brake mean effective pressureetc. The test stand can be used to compare the performance of the engine with gasolineand hydrogen in any pre-selected proportions of the two fuels (0% to 100%). Both theseengines are operational and are planned to be used for student experiments in the M Edepartment at WVU Tech. The

method of producing hydrogenthat is environmentally friendly. The major disadvantages of the SI cycle are the hightemperature required for the decomposition of hydrogen iodide and the corrosiveness of thereactants. However, high temperature nuclear reactor designs will easily allow a temperature ofgreater than 800oC. Though SI cycle has been well studied the process has not yet beendemonstrated by a commercial, and there seems to remain spaces for further improvement toreduce the complex process scheme. In this regard, the predictive simulations are very useful. The purpose of this paper was to examine SI cycle coupled to high temperature gascooled nuclear reactor. A heat-transfer model was developed to analyze the SI process and

Her research to date has focused on educational designs that emphasize learner ini- tiative and agency through inquiry or problem-based learning in formal and informal learning contexts. She has published several papers on the characteristics of learning environments that support or constrain opportunities for any students (including those from non-dominant backgrounds) to participate in key science and engineering process skills such as scientific argumentation. Her work is largely informed by the principles and perspectives on human development and cognition articulated by Cultural Historical Activity Theory

Air-launch and vertical takeoff with a booster allow for smaller and lighter demonstrators which can focus on testing the high-speed regime. Consequently, the trades selected will focuse on air-launch and vertical takeoff options. 3. Hardware Concepts: Alternative vehicle concepts have been grouped as follows: a. Lifting body - for this speed range, the lifting body provides improved volumetric efficiency over wing bodies; therefore, the lifting body has been selected as the sole volume supply option (Reference 3, 4). b.

mentorsare now competitors in an increasingly tough job market. On top of all this, newengineers face competition from offshore design centers and foreign engineersimmigrating to the U.S.If junior engineers want to compete in this fast-paced, competitive job market, they haveto be productive on their very first day. To be productive, they have to be able to createcomplex, solid code quickly. Experienced engineers accomplish this using their personalcollection of tips, tricks, and shortcuts that they have picked up over the course of theircareer. New engineers do not have this luxury. What they need instead is a designmethodology that will take the place of the tips, tricks and shortcuts. Thus presents thebasic point of this paper—to teach a design

The students looked at water characteristics as well. • Air Quality/Drones: The students learned about air quality and then measured the air quality using two different methods. The first method was using a sensor with a LED light that changes color based on the amount of pollution in the air. The second method was flying a drone that had multiple sensors to measure the air quality. • Flying Aggies: Students learned that farmers can use drones that take pictures to improve their fields.The fourth day: The students picked one of the

We draw special attention to how users are conceptualizedduring product development and how notions of how users might employ technologies can shapedesigners’ plans. These data are part of a larger project that examines the workplace learning ofearly career engineers, and so several of our examples highlight the orientations early careerengineers hold toward
