E.) isthe appropriate measure of the Standard Uncertainty in the data, not the S. S. D. as in the singlepoint case. A numerical experiment using hypothetical data randomly distributed about a line isused to illustrate how an error band two standard errors wide contains about 95 % of the data in alarge sample. The regression package generates the S. E. E. for the linearized model in Equation 8 notthe vapor pressure itself. This situation gives an opportunity to further illustrate sensitivityanalysis. The uncertainty in the vapor pressure can be estimated from the uncertainty in

resources—like office hours or tutoring time—necessitates efficient time management. Efficient time management, in turn, enables theimplementation of in-depth metacognitive study activities, which helps students generatequestions that target their respective academic trouble spots that can be addressed throughfeedback from the academic success resources. Generating questions can also encourage studentsto overcome avoidance of office hours, which often stems from a fear of asking the wrongquestions or wasting the professor’s time [7]. By integrating these three academic successconcepts (See Figure 1) we expect students to enter a virtuous cycle of experimentation,reflection, and growth.

However, technologies have been used by humans since thebeginning of time to enhance and extend our capabilities. These technologies were then passedon from one generation to the next though verbal training sessions. Stories were used todemonstrate how these devices were first created, improved over time, and used. They addedboth breadth and depth to the training process. This use of stories to describe the innovation fromthe initial idea, to the creation of the first prototype, through its improvements, to its current statewas an integral part of the learning process.

The key characteristics of the problem are:(1) a very large solution space with no obvious “best answer,” (2) a succinct electronicrepresentation of a given design, and (3) design criteria that can be evaluated by a computerprogram.AcknowledgementsThis project was made possible by generous donations from the American Society of CivilEngineers (the primary sponsor), American Bridge Corporation, Entergy, Verizon, and

Engineering EducationThe expression for a double-sideband (with carrier) AM signal is, sAM (t) = Ac [1 + m(t)] cos(ωc t) (2)In this equation, Ac is the amplitude of the carrier, m(t) is the message signal (with amplitude≤ 1 to prevent overmodulation), and ωc is the carrier frequency expressed in radians/sec.25In order to recover the message signal, it is necessary to extract the envelope of the signalAc [1 + m(t)]. Once the envelope is obtained, the DC component can be removed with a DCblocking filter, leaving Ac m(t), which is a scaled version of the original message signal.The general principle of message recovery using DSP techniques is to select only the positive(or negative

The projectsinclude a field programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation of a video compressionalgorithm, acceleration of a sparse FFT algorithm involving general purpose graphicalprocessing units (GPGPUs), computer modeling of a red fire ant colony, and low-powerencryption circuits with differential power analysis (DPA) immunity.
