toothsegmentation, dental crown generation, and dental alignment, often adapting techniques fromgeneral point cloud processing. Intraoral scans can contain over 200,000 mesh triangles, makingdirect processing computationally prohibitive. The existing works downsample the original scansto a lower resolution such as 16K or 10K mesh cells as shown in Table. 1. Prior studies haveexplored different topics such as the shortcoming of existing tooth segmentation methods [1] andpossibility of learning from a single dental scan [2]. Prior studies [3, 4] also suggest thatdownsampling degrades the fine tooth features (for example, curvature information), but asystematic evaluation of its impact on segmentation accuracy has not been done.

It was determined through this research that the freshmen engineeringstudents must adjust their unrealistic, preconceived academic expectations transferred from highschool, as well as accept academic failure and learn to react in a positive manner to theirclassroom performance.Index Terms ℵ Freshman Retention, Academic failure.INTRODUCTIONNumerous studies document the importance of educating new students about their new academicsetting [1 - 5].

The open curriculum of the college presents a challenge in this regard, in that the onlycommon graduation requirement for each student is that she takes a writing intensive course inher first year. The introduction to engineering course, Engineering for Everyone, is designed tobe accessible to all students, regardless of background, yet it also provides the framework forthose students who choose to major in engineering. Historically, 5-10% of the entering first yearclass of Smith students enrolls in EGR100, thus, by it very nature, the course itself improves thetechnological literacy of a subset of the student population.Learning Objectives of the CourseThe educational objectives of the EGR100 course are for a student: (1

Decades apart, the electric aircraft will generate new ideas that can alter the course ofaviation, just as the Spirit of St. Louis. The Ryan NYP had unique design features that allowed itto cross the Atlantic Ocean in a non-stop flight. In analogy, a unique long-range electric aircraftwill challenge the development of electric propulsion and its integration into modern aircraft.This paper documents the conceptual design performed by UTA’s senior design capstone class based on a preceding research forecasting study by the AVD Laboratory, overall identifying afeasible electric aircraft mission
