The Black Sholes model used in option trading,related to the 1997 Economics Nobel Prize, contains a distribution that can be described by adifferential equation. A similar approach for the analysis of SDO images has been reported by usearlier 3. The adaptation to community college student research was done by calibrating originaldata using NASA packages, such as The Interactive Data Language (IDL) and/or The InteractiveFITS File Editor (Fv), with the posed RGB image of an astronomical object so that popular imageprocessing software such as ImageJ could be used 4, 5, 6.The SDO data can be used to study magnetic topology via the formula of quasi- separatrix layersQSL or quashing factor Q.

studies and correspondingappendices to better understand how NGSS frames issues of equity in STEM education.BackgroundScience and engineering education as an economic good “Today's modern workforce depends on individuals with scientific and technological skills (NRC 2010; NSB 2010). Research shows, however, that we are not preparing all students to achieve high levels of science performance (USDOE 2011); we are failing to graduate enough students with the skills needed to fill the growing number of jobs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) (NRC 2010); and many members of our society do not command the scientific literacy necessary to address important societal issues and
executetrade-offs, balancing competing priorities, and communicating with colleagues that havedifferent technical backgrounds. This paper presents the implementation of a system-based,sponsor-partner, collaboration focused, learning approach within the curriculum of theDepartment of Automotive Engineering at Clemson University which meets these real-world design engineering needs.The program implementing this real-world approach is called Deep Orange (DO). TheDeep Orange initiative is an integral part of the automotive graduate program at theClemson University International Center for Automotive Research. The initiative wasdeveloped to provide first-year graduate engineering students with hands-on experience ofthe knowledge attained in the various
