the laser’s important features include4: • The laser is a diode-pumped solid state laser meaning that it uses a solid medium that is solid, rather than a gas, such as CO2. • There are two lasers on-board: a 266-nanometer (nm) and a 532-nm wavelength head for processing softer materials (polymers, plastics, and glass) and harder materials (metals and ceramics), respectively. • It has five-axis CNC control for three-dimensional machining: x- and y-axis control of the table in the horizontal plane, z-axis control of the laser’s vertical position, b-axis rotation about the y-axis, and c-axis rotation about the z-axis. • Galvo scanning heads provide the capability of laser machining inside a workspace

Although content inevitably followed the textbook, problem solvingtechniques, nomenclatures and mathematical techniques were the instructor’s choice. We define the DOT PRODUCT as A●B = A*B*cos(φ) with the RHS being a SCALAR – hence the optional name for this operation being “SCALAR PRODUCT”. A = Ax i + Bx j + Bz k : B = Bx i + By j + Bz k so A●B = (Ax i + Bx j + Bz k ) ● (Bx i + By j + Bz k) with i●i = 1 etc., and i●j = 0 etc., then A●B = AxBx + AyBy + AzBz = AB cos(φ) therefore φ = cos -1 (A●B/AB) = cos -1 ((AxBx + AyBy + AzBz)/(AB)) this is useful for finding an angle between

The openings in the model are concentrated in the middle of eachface to simplify adding ventilation at the appropriate time. If the flames were distributed overthe entire face, shorter flames would have been observed. It should also be noted that becausethe opacity of the smoke is a function of the path length, the smoke from the small scale modelwill appear less opaque even for similar smoke density.

the primary theories of motivation will be discussed. Theintention is not to offer a comprehensive history of the discipline, but to sufficientlyoutline the current understanding of human motivation so that engineering faculty canbetter evaluate their instructional choices in terms of their effect on student motivation tolearn. Behaviorism, particularly the idea that human responses to stimuli are the resultof operant conditioning, is perhaps the most influential of the extrinsic theories ofmotivation. While the idea originated much earlier, it was popularized by B. F. Skinner.3In this theory, the reinforcement a student receives for their responses determineswhether or not they will be likely to produce that same response when
