Demonstrate the ability to recognize and understand the key parameters involved in construction project planning.2. Demonstrate the ability to generate construction project schedules using both the arrow- diagramming technique and the Critical Path Method (CPM) technique.3. Demonstrate the ability to monitor and update construction project schedules.4. Demonstrate competency with the principles of resource

Convolution is a linear operation and thus has a special (somewhatcomplex) matrix representation. By focusing on linear combinations rather than matrices, weprovide students with a unified treatment of both the more general linear operation used in logistic 1 affine with respect to the input, but linear in the parametersregression and the more specialized convolution operation used in convolutional neural networks.In particular, students are asked to compute convolutions of 4 × 4 pixel images by hand usinglinear combinations.The multivariate chain rule plays a crucial role in

Much time, money andeffort has been put into documenting the effectiveness of innovative teaching methods andcurriculum and in disseminating these results.

To assess the effectiveness of the new approach for learning L’Hopital’s Rule weconducted an in-class anonymous questionnaire. 58 students responded. The resultsclearly show that understanding the concept of L’Hopital’s Rule is either importantor very important to students. Most of them praised the visualization and intu-ition approach for teaching the rule. Even though we did not used activities andexercises, students felt that more hands-on activities and in-class exercises could be 1very helpful as well. In general, they liked traditional presentations, but
