Similarly, in thecurrent project, there is opportunity for teachers to be exposed to current areas of research inengineering through presentations made by faculty during the summer workshops. Theseteachers will have the chance to tour labs of researchers and make connections for futureresearch endeavors. The middle and high school students will also have an opportunity to viewcurrent engineering research when they tour the labs during the culminating activity. Whilethere is no formal

gas production of yeast in dough is the result of thefermentation of sugars. With glucose as the starting material, this process involves a Åsequence of enzymatic reactions, the sum of which can be represented as follows:C6H12O6 (Glucose) + 2 ADP + 2 P 2 C2H5OH (Ethanol) + 2 CO2 + 2 ATP + 2 H20According to this equation, about 0.29 grams of carbon dioxide or leavening gas, isproduced per gram of glucose fermented. At a dough temperature of 30 C and atatmospheric pressure, this would mean 276 ml of CO2 per gram of glucose fermented.According to a study by H.W. Van Dam, ADY is capable of producing 160 ml of gas per285 mg of yeast in a time span of 165 minutes in standard dough

Baylor University Scott Koziol Electrical and Computer Engineering Department Baylor University  Abstract   This paper describes the design and construction of a lighter than air robot blimp (LTARB). The blimp has both shared autonomy and fully autonomous modes. The blimp is designed to fly indoors and play a game called Defend the Republic, and it is sponsored by the United States Department of the Navy, Office of Naval Research. In this game, blimps fly around and capture floating balloons. The blimps then score by finding a goal and putting the

opportunities for the students todevelop the three major knowledge processes. These include, as they are now referred to byeducational researchers, the cognitive, perceptive, and pragmatic processes. The shift in scienceand engineering education over the last half of this century has been toward the cognitive, i.e. theanalytical, linear, and rational skills, which are critical to defining a problem, gatheringinformation and diagnosis. While technical skills are an absolute necessity in engineering,organization leaders have noted that engineering graduates lack breadth of vision, flexibility anda business orientation. These skills are not associated with cognitive processes, but withperceptive (i.e. intuition, insight, and enthusiasm, leading to the

However, the first-year iteration wastaught during the Spring 2020 semester and was transitioned to an online course for the lastseven weeks of the fifteen-week semester due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
