lapswimming activity recognition by incorporating two survival swimming activities: treading waterand sidestroke. We present a study which collects all six stroke types from a wrist-worn device,and we develop a machine learning algorithm that classifies activities with an F-measure of0.94.IntroductionDrowning is the leading cause of unintentional death worldwide, with over 300,000 drowningdeaths every year, with most occurring in open water [1]. Many drowning deaths occur as a resultof poor swimming skills [2]. Additionally, many deaths also occur due to an overestimation ofone’s swimming skills, indicating a disconnect between swimming skills taught by swimmingeducation programs and the skills needed to survive in the water [3].According to the

A proposal that iswell written, clear, and easy for the reviewer to read and understand generally has a better chance of beingfunded than one that is poorly written. Since many engineering educators have little background in writing, this paper gives guidelines forcreating a strong proposal to prospective authors. General appearance of the proposal, including graphs,figures, and charts, is an important part of writing a successful grant.

developing the procedures, the true life-cycle costsof all steps must be calculated for cost-benefit analysis. This paper explores the issue of reliability of reused products; specifically the performance of reused,high-reliability products, such as electronic assemblies. Also explored is the consideration of reuse as partof an environmentally -considerate design and manufacturing operation. Reuse is an integral part of aDesign-for-the-Environment (DFE) program, where the goal is reduction of adverse effects on the globalenvironment by manufacturing processes. Impending legislation will make OEMs more accountable fordisposition of their products. Therefore, it is imperative that manufacturers consider recovering and reusingproducts whenever
