An introduction of the methodology is presented inthe form of five specific topics: (a) the fundamentals of DOE, (b) the assumptions of modelbuilding, (c) setting objectives for an experiment, (d) selecting process input variables (factors)and output responses, and (e) weighing the objectives of the virtual experiment versus thenumber of factors identified in order to arrive at a choice of an experimental design. The methodis then specialized for FEM applications by choosing a specific objective and a subclass ofexperimental designs known as the fractional factorial

examining elements ofthe embedded contexts and support infrastructure of the learning environment.Rather than directly beginning with data collection upon starting the project, we revisited theframeworks of Person-Environment Fit (PE Fit) and Critical Race Theory set forth in theproposal. We also considered other frameworks that could be used to conceptualize what itmeans for a student to “navigate” a learning environment. These frameworks include PE Fit[2],[3, Stress-Coping [4-6], Health Care Access [7],[8], and Service Quality [9] and considerstudent navigation through four different perspectives: students as workers, people, patients, andconsumers, respectively. Combined, these frameworks’ constructs informed the development ofour conceptual

It appears at first glance to be dynamicin that pulses or packets of energy or mass are sent through the system in a discreetfashion from some known starting state. The starting state is an arbitrary zero mass orenergy state that is admitably meaningless. The transition probabilities from one node tothe next are indeed similar to those in the transport matrix
