The idea behind this activity is to conduct asimple experiment to allow students to measure this energy.Experiment – Have different groups use fresh batteries with different brand names forcomparison. Connect a 9-V battery to a light bulb (or other suitable loads such as amicroprocessor cooling fan). Using an inexpensive multimeter, measure and record the batteryvoltage (V) and the bulb’s resistance (R) every hour until the bulb is very dim3. Using theOhm’s law

In doing so, this group of researchers appear to be eager to apply theories oflearning and development to the study of college student retention, academic success, and careerchoice. For example, in their 2004 paper, Hartman and Branoff8 applied Vygotsky’s socio-cultural-historical, Bandura’s social-cognitive theory, and Human Information-Processing theoryto the instruction of constraint-based solid modeling and other engineering graphics topics.

Through this course, students are introduced to current developments andthe critical challenges of 3D printing technologies. Emphasis is placed on practical experience inutilizing departmental equipment to produce digital 3D CAD files and output them in a suitableformat appropriate to be used by DDM equipment. Students will apply knowledge of 3Dscanning for reverse engineering purposes and utilize the information to recreate the physicalobject using additive manufacturing techniques. The goal of the course is to foster DDM andpromote the understanding of AM technology, process parameters and capabilities.The objective of the

Our program is different from a traditional computer science programbecause our emphasis is on the application of emerging information technologies tobusiness, science, the arts and other human endeavors, and not only on the theory ofcomputation. Still computer technologists need an in-depth understanding of theory to beable to effectively design and implement applications. Our instructional approach could bedescribed as

They arrive at college with a variety of expectations which are often not realized untilthey reach their Junior or Senior years. Their backgrounds in mathematics and science areprobably strong, and they may have participated in science fairs or class projects that are relatedto technology. However, they most likely have little or no sense of the complexity and attentionto detail that Engineering requires, or just how Engineers work and think as they solveengineering and design problems.Some engineering schools have required first
