thinking. Anzaldúa [16] argue that challenging traditional and normative notionsof reality becomes a way to challenge traditional methodologies – a process ofdecolonization. For engineering education research, this process of decolonization isparticularly important because counternarratives are necessary to more critically assess thecultures of engineering [6, 19, 20]. Nepantla offers a framework for examining howsociopolitical forces—intersections of ideologies, behaviors, beliefs, values, and dominantpolicies—have shaped the educational journey of Latino/a/x engineering students,challenging established notions of what constitutes reality and for whom [21]. It provides aparticular framework that breaks from the traditional white methods [22] used

Through applying concepts and tools from previous courses, analyzingdata and other results, evaluating alternative problem-solving methods and ultimately creating atest system that can be used for meaningful research, students have prepared themselves to beeffective engineers and have become more engaged in their own learning than they ever could bein

education inmiddle school. The research was implemented in two phases: (1) literature exploration (this wasa pre-phase approach adapted from [4]; and (2) analysis guided by synthesis approaches used by[23]. The first pre-phase consisted of searching broadly if CRP was used in the STEM Educationresearch literature. To accomplish this, I searched Google Scholar using relevant keywords (i.e.,"culturally relevant pedagogies" + "STEM Education" + pre-college). Following, I assessed theextent to which articles addressed ideas related to my research inquiry (e.g., were the papersengaging with pre-college groups, were the papers using CRP as a guiding framework, etc.).Lastly, I limited my search to papers that were published within the last ten years

basic methodology consists of seven steps, analyze, integrate, iterate, converge,screen, visualize, and assess risk1. Some examples of methodologies used by aircraft designers inthe past, which were used as an initial starting point for this project, were design texts byRoskam8, Raymer16, Nicolai7 and Torenbeek15. The methodology produced by each designerrepresents a final refined methodology that took years of experience before a true aircraft designmethodology was fashioned. After comparing all methodologies, a combination of Raymer’s16and Torenbeek’s15 methodology is used to develop Skybrid Aeronautics methodology.Figure 6 Overall MethodologyThe flow of information is also visualized from the methodology in Figure 6.

In addition, at each generation a number ofindividuals are subjected to some form of change. These alterations are manifested through theuse of genetic operators. Genetic operators can be either mutation operators, which introducesmall changes within a single individual, or crossover operators, which cut and paste differentparts from two or more individuals together in order to create new individuals called offspring.The probability of an individual experiencing some form of transformation within any

This discovery may indicate that attempting toclassify swimming strokes may prove extremely difficult to perform. Swimming stroke motionstend to be full body movements, and because of this, only placing a sensor on the wrists likely hasits limitations. As such, placement of sensors involves a more nuanced discussion.In order to assess the optimal location for sensor placement, many studies have been conductedusing various locations.
