Effectiveness of VolumeVisual is evaluated by conducting a formal user studyconsisting of an introduction and training session, a survey, followed by a quiz.1 IntroductionAs visualization has become an indispensable means for analyzing data generated from applications that span variousSTEM fields, more research efforts pay attention to education in data science and human-centered computing. Follow-ing this trend is a significant need for high-quality educational tools for teaching and learning data visualization. Overthe years, different tools have been developed for information visualization (InfoVis) that span across
study with two different groups (in-class group and PhD group). In the future, we wouldlike to improve GraphVisual as follows. First, so far only a few layouts allow dynamic changes and re-computation,which could be expanded to the other layouts. Second, one participant in our study suggested that GraphVisual couldpoint out and explain differences in the different layout algorithms when comparing them side by side, which could beincluded as an additional feature for self-learning. Third, GraphVisual could still incorporate edge bundling; however,based on our experience, this would need to be outsourced to a server that runs the computations in the background.GraphVisual is part of our effort to develop a series of educational tools for teaching

They prepare themselves in physicaltraining such as weight-lifting, jogging, sprinting and other physical exercises, to developindividual abilities of speed and strength. They learn and memorize all the “plays” that the teammay execute during a game. Similarly, successful employees recognize the importance ofindividual contributions and prepare themselves accordingly to work on a project team. Just likeprofessional football players, they prepare by developing technical knowledge and skills in thebasic sciences, mathematics, engineering sciences, manufacturing processes and design.

Due to some incompatibilities with the MATLAB server hosting, this wasnot possible with the constraints of the capstone project.Instead, the capstone team resorted to developing downloadable MATLAB executables. Thestandalone MATLAB apps were created using MATLAB App Designer, packaged for distributionusing MATLAB App Compiler. These can be run on users’ computers using the free MATLABRuntime product and downloaded as an executable file. These MATLAB apps provided users withthe robustness of

Thisworkshop was attended by hundreds of participants. There appeared to be considerable interest inthe IEMT, and this venue proved to be especially effective for the promotion of the softwaretool.Conclusion An interactive energy management tool was developed and promoted. The tool is userfriendly and will allow industrial users to closely scrutinize all aspects of their energy usage froma single web site interface. After using the tool, users should be able to determine whetherenergy reduction is possible at their plants, and also specifically how those reductions may

For the Excel cases, the author created notesand performed each task several times, recording the shortest value as being most representativeof a proficient user. Having already used the TC Tool extensively due to its recent development,the author needed to use it only once to get representative time values.Table 1: Estimated time required for a proficient user to perform analysis operations.
