IntroductionThough immersive virtual reality technology has existed for over half a century, early hardwarewas inaccessible for the vast majority of potential applications due to cost and issues thatincluded significant discomfort and nausea [1]. Fortunately, the latest generations of immersivevirtual reality equipment have largely mitigated many of these issues through more responsivesensing and display as well as the incorporating of several decades of usability research intoapplication and interface design [2].

This feedbackhelped fine-tune the partnership model to provide participating scholars with the mostmeaningful support possible.Findings suggest three design features of successful support: 1. While general training and support such as those offered by career service centers are useful, specific support by STEM faculty with real-time efforts in applying for academic positions was more timely and valuable for URM scholars. 2. Transition support is critical as scholars’ needs shift from dissertator to postdoctoral researcher to early career faculty. For example, requests to review

Since the vibratory dynamic system generally consists of a mass, a spring, and adamper and its governing equation is a second order differential equation, most lecture contentsare developed to provide the analytic analysis using challenging mathematical approaches. Eventhough this theoretic approach provides academic and practical advantages for students, manystudents struggle to achieve intuitive understanding on how real vibratory systems behave.

sampling receiver.IntroductionIn modern signal processing systems, the input analog signal is usually digitized first and thenfed into a digital signal processor. The digitizing process can be divided into two steps: samplingand quantizing. The sampling process can be described mathematically as a multiplication with acomb function, which is a periodic pulse train with very narrow pulse width. In the frequencydomain, the multiplication becomes a convolution. The comb function is very interesting inFourier transform, since the result is still a comb function. Therefore, the effect of theconvolution is generating many copies of the transformed input signal with the spacing of thesampling frequency, which is shown in Fig. 1 [1]. If the sampling rate

For the labs, the class is divided into smaller sections of typically20 students each and working in groups of 2. There is a main instructor for the class and lab withan additional teaching assistant (TA) for each lab section.The semester-long class is divided into 2 main parts. The first half of the semester introducesstudents to C programming and the second half focuses on microcontroller programming,sensors, and actuators.
