The logic behind each suggestion and/or question is discussed by the TAs in a way that motivates the students to follow the same logic in solving a problem. Conclusions and interpretations of the results obtained for each problem are presented such that the Page 11.179.3 objective of the problem becomes clearer. 2 B- Extra credit and/or bonus

Case A: Traditional classroom style of teaching using Power Point slides, and white / blackboard is employed. The instructor does most of the talking and students listen passively. At the end of the study, students take a quiz. Case B: The instructor uses props to describe different concepts. Students listen, are encouraged to ask questions, and see and touch the model (prop) and then take the test at the end of the lecture. Case C: The

Gendered effects of performance in CS areinfluenced by the social environment, whereas programming experience in high school or undergraduateeducation beyond introductory CS is reflective of the opportunity that students have in their pre-collegeenvironment. We also take students’ grades in the linear algebra course to be reflective of theirenvironment, rather than their ability, because the programming assignment we study involved forming anAx = b matrix from a set of equations. Based on students’ difficulty with this concept in class, wehypothesized that having prior knowledge of linear algebra would be helpful on this programmingassignment. And therefore, students who had the opportunity to take advanced

Inthese cases, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) manufacturing techniques are beingemployed in general, with emitter tip densities up to 1600/cm2 [9]. However, it is possible toconstruct a fully functional electrospray thruster using much larger emitters that do not requireMEMS manufacturing. One of the simpler methods is to use standard blunt tip syringe needles asinternally wetted emitters.The emitted particles accelerate through small holes in the

Please see Appendix A for an example of astudent written program. In contrast, the flight model in the EFS is “industrial strength”.2 Use of Engineering Flight SimulatorThe Parks College Engineering Flight Simulator is used in a variety of ways a) to give AE students some “flight” experience, albeit simulated flight b) to provide a platform on which AE

Manual computation of transfer functions is rather laborious foreven some simple systems. MATLAB software can be easily used for this purpose and itis efficient in applying Laplace Transform in order to find the transfer function.Rules for Modeling 1.
