PIV is a state-of-the-art optical flow visualizationand measurement experimental technique that is well-established in modern research andengineering practice. The basic methods for PIV include using synchronized laser sheet opticsand digital cameras to record the locations of neutrally buoyant, light scattering particles thatfollow a flow of interest. These locations are converted into velocities by computer algorithms,and engineers use these velocity vector fields to identify flow characteristics and parameters ofinterest. This flow field visualization and measurement technique is

. Theprincipal of annealing metals has been understood for thousands of years and simply involves alocal increase in thermal energy (heating) to allow the packing of the metal atoms to find a statethat has better material properties. Finding the optimal amount of thermal energy is the key. Toolittle thermal energy or heat and the material will not change, but too much thermal energy willsimply melt the material and not allow it to settle into a lower energy state that typicallyproduces superior properties. Similarly, computer simulations are also used to sample the state ofmaterials to understand structure-property relationships and design new materials. The key to aneffective simulation is the sampling algorithm. Narrow sampling and the simulation will

The goal is to traverse a set course as quickly as possible, which requires balancing the choice and placement of machine and structural elements with the resulting energy (i.e., battery) depletion rates. There are two important caveats to this design challenge: (i) both config-urations must be bioinspired (i.e., their designs and/or movements mimic those of living animals/organisms); and (ii) although teams can include up to 21 total parts for their reconfigurable machines, all of these parts must be used in the designs for both machine configurations.

Theseare computer-tutors in which students can practice the new skill as they receive detailed,individualized, and timely hints and feedback. DIGT exercises, located at the end of each page,assess whether the learning objective has been met. Most tutors offer the student the option ofasking for a Hint at each step. There are sometimes successive hints: for example, a first hintthat reminds the student of the relevant underlying idea or principle, the second hint that links thegeneral idea to the details of the problem at hand, and a final hint virtually gives the answeraway, but explains how one would arrive

bacterial biofilms, a new research area thatintersects a number of disciplines. Bacterial biofilms are multicellular structures responsible forthe contamination and failure of many engineered systems and also play a central role ininfectious diseases for humans, animals, and plants. Advancing the understanding of bacterialbiofilms in engineered and biological contexts benefits from knowledge of the physical forcesand fluid dynamics of the growth environment as well as the genetic pathways that lead to theproduction of biofilm matrix materials. Neither a traditional engineering view of the physicsinvolved nor a life science view of the cell biology involved is sufficient for developing newstrategies for mitigation and remediation of fouling by
