Employing these three learning types allowed for a better overallunderstanding for the students.I. Introduction to Engineering (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) Figure 2: Internal speaker components (a) Charging module (b) Battery (c) Capacitor (d) Speaker (e) Amplifier (f) SwitchThe concepts explained throughout the PowerPoint encompassed the very basics of electricalengineering. The knowledge was then reinforced through its building process and
combinations of the complex unbalance in each of the planes. Subtracting theunbalanced-rotor results from the two test-mass cases, we find a complex two-by-two matrixrepresenting the calibration. Then, the matrix is used with the unbalanced-rotor results to solvefor the unbalance for that case. The complex unbalance gives us the angle and the mr product forthe mass that we need to cancel in each plane.ResultsFigure 3 shows the magnitude of the two speaker signals (simply labeled A and B) at the rotorspeed before and after balancing. The initial curves show strong resonances associated with thesoft-bearing mount at 1250 rpm and beyond 2500 rpm. The test point at 1750 rpm, between thetwo resonances, shows significant vibration in both speakers, with the

Rhudy Division of Engineering, The Pennsylvania State University, Reading, PAAbstractStudent performance depends not only on their intellectual ability, but also their habits anddecision making. Homework assignments can directly affect student performance in a course, butalso indirectly through preparation for exams. This is specifically prevalent for engineeringcourses which involve homework assignments as practice problem sets to prepare for examinationquestions
right motors are XL and XR respectively and input of left and right photocells areA and B respectively. Boolean equations can be written as 𝑋𝑋𝐿𝐿 = 𝐴𝐴̅𝐵𝐵� + 𝐴𝐴̅𝐵𝐵 𝑋𝑋𝑅𝑅 = 𝐴𝐴̅𝐵𝐵� + 𝐴𝐴𝐵𝐵�These Boolean equations can be further simplified applying De Morgan’s law. However, in thispaper, the circuits were built based on the above equations. After students wrote the Booleanequations, they were asked to draw a logic gate circuit. This step is a key part of the project thatassociates with a logic circuit designing. Figure 1 shows the logic design from the Booleanequations above. Figure 1: Logic gate schematics for left

increase students’ learning and development7. A well-definedframework is often useful in organizing and coordinating the assessment process to ensureconsistent methodology and data analysis.Assessment of students requires a systematic gathering of information about student learning andthe factors that affect learning, undertaken with the resources, time and expertise available, forthe purpose of improving the learning. The three main steps in assessment include: (a)articulating learning goals, objectives or outcomes, (b) gathering information about how wellstudents are meeting the goals set, and (c) using the data obtained for improving the process of Fall 2017 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, October 6-7 – Penn State Berkslearning
