It can beimplemented using any type of wired and wireless communication. One of the big differencesbetween external and internal communication is that internal communication is usually simplexor one-way communication; external communication is always duplex communication in orderto both monitor the robot and controls it at the same time. Overall, external communication canbe categorized into wired and wireless. The selection of methods was dependent on the cost,reliability, and bandwidth.- ManeuveringIn order to move inside the pipe, the robot is required to have a maneuvering

Variables of interest focused on sex, ethnicity, and STEMmajor status. Results and implications are discussed in the following manuscript.Introduction The significance of underrepresented women entering STEM (science, technology,engineering, and mathematics) fields and careers is critical for extinguishing the long-lastingnegative stereotypes around women and minorities in the field [1]. Both women and racialminorities have historically been the lowest group to be involved within the STEM fields andhave been so for several years [2]. Prior work suggests that women are less likely to seek andobtain STEM degrees

That means that an engineerwho is generally a conservative and rational person must design for people who are not.In fact engineers must design to protect the undereducated, non conservative risk takers.Various studies have shown that a vast majority of instruction books are only read after aproblem has cropped up. To prove the point, watch how many Christmas toys get builtincorrectly by average fathers who will not use an instruction manual before a screwdriver...You as designers may be at fault legally, because you did not foresee thiseventuality and design around it.

The students are confronted with tasks to complete, a time deadline,teammates, and instructor who wander around asking questions.Most of the construction students are traditionally tactile learners. The hands-on approach in learningusually is the method of choice for the construction students. Engineering and technology courses alwayscontained learning-by-doing components. However, to maximize the student’s natural talents manyconstruction courses are taught as “active learning in a group environment.” The classes are typicallydivided into teams of three students. The teams are continuously involved in problem solving in theclassroom, supplemented by short lectures. The students use various assessment tools and

HBCUs arecredited with graduating 18% of all Black science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) baccalaureate students [7], in spite of making up only 3% of higher education'sinstitutions [6], having smaller operational budgets than most Historically White Institutions(HWIS) [5], and having markedly smaller enrollments [5]. Further HBCUs account for 21 of thetop 50 institutions who have Black students graduating with baccalaureate STEM degrees whosubsequently earn a doctorate in STEM [5].

classes such asengineering design. I briefly outline the most common ways in which portfolios are used in suchclasses, discuss some of their advantages and disadvantages, and conclude with some suggestionsfor those considering using portfolios to assess writing. When appropriate, I include some of myown experiences using portfolios in classes ranging from introductory writing-intensive coursesin the humanities and social sciences to senior-level engineering design. Currently I am workingwith faculty from across campus at the Colorado School of Mines to design a four-yearlongitudinal portfolio assessment for students in our McBride Honors Program.What Is a Writing Portfolio?A portfolio is usually defined as a collection of writing by an individual
whilesimultaneously creating high-quality and well-paying jobs in what has become a rapidly growingclean energy economy. Educational institutions must develop education and training programs inclean energy to attract and train students who can satisfy the job growth in this important cleanenergy business sector.A. VisionThe broader clean energy training vision is to provide a curriculum supporting a pathway fromhigh school to workforce training and the highest achievement in renewable energy, such asdoctoral degrees. Workforce training is satisfied by developing a curriculum at the 100 level withsignificant hands-on training. State colleges offer clean energy curricula at the 200 and 300levels, with more math and science behind the topics.By focusing on
growing global environmental concerns overtheir use for the generation of electric power have increased the interest in the utilizationof renewable energy. This also raises the needs for engineering and sciences programs toprovide training in the areas of renewable energy technology. New programs, courses andsupport laboratories need to be developed and implemented.
