MATLAB, on the other hand, is aprogramming language that not only retains the basic programming constructs but also features ahost of advanced application-specific functions, the ability to create graphical user interfaces, anoptional command line interaction, debugging tools, and symbolic mathematics. All thesefeatures allow students the opportunity to be more productive and go

Mechanics1, 4.Additionally, two common student attitudes about almost any engineering course are; the courseis cryptic (“I’ll never understand this complex stuff!”), and the course is boring (“How cananyone actually LIKE studying this?”). In the experience of the authors, maintaining intellectualexcitement in the classroom is the key to suppressing these two typical reactions. That said,preparation of notes, instructor enthusiasm and excitement can only go so far. Once a studentbegins to lose connection to the topic, the likelihood of seeing one or both of the attitudes aboveis high. Both authors have heard and experienced these attitudes while teaching their firstsemester of Mechanics. Therefore, seeking ways to engage student interest, build

Simulation for Working Safely in Storm Drain SystemsAbstractA confined space is a space with limited entry and that is not designed for continuous occupancy.Working in confined spaces is dangerous because employers and workers do not alwaysunderstand how they are in danger when they enter these spaces. Inexperienced workers have nosense of the inherent danger of entering and working in confined spaces, and experiencedworkers, even those with years of experience, may evaluate conditions incorrectly, which couldlead to risks. Death comes silently and often without the slightest warning, so entering andexiting confined spaces is restricted due to its danger. An advanced three-dimensional (3D)visual simulation was designed to simulate real scenes of

The effectiveness of relay node for the nodeswith the connectivity has not been investigated at the best of our knowledge. In this paper, weinvestigate the effectiveness of relay node through the experiment. Two protocols, TCP and UDP,are selected for the evaluation of the network performance using throughput, packet loss, andretransmission rate in various receiving signal strength with and without relay node. The resultsare presented, compared, and analyzed to identify the optimal condition in terms of receivingsignal strength for addition of relay node to

The activities allow the students to experiment with physical objects similar to thosethey might see in a homework problem, i.e., weights on a pulley, hollow and solid cylindersrolling down a ramp, gyroscopes spinning, and strings wrapped around spools pulled gentlyacross a surface. The scenarios are designed to produce non-intuitive results, resulting incognitive conflict. In this way, the activities intentionally challenge students to rethink theirconceptual frameworks.As part of this research, we identify the

It is clear fromthese studies that the current civil and construction engineering curricula are often inadequate inpreparing students for the complex process of construction. Some weaknesses include: limitedaccess to construction practitioners; curriculum demands that do not permit the inclusion ofissues of importance to construction; few opportunities to experience or participate in the actualconstruction
