CREATE CATAPULT aid FROM tid5.3.3 Structural commandsThe define and create commands are hybrid creational and structural commands for buildingagents. The only dedicated structural commands are to add these agents to the world and prepareit for usage. POPULATE CARRIER aid1 WITH FIGHTER[S] aidn+ Populates carrier agent aid1 with fighter agents aidn. Only fighters created without an initial airborne state may be added. POPULATE WORLD WITH aidn+ Populates the world with fighter, tanker, and carrier agents aidn.

andcontextual listening.18 Whereas basic listening “refers to hearing or paying attention to the verbal and nonverbal messages of any speaker” and “is framed as a dyadic process ofspeaking (output) and hearing/receiving information (input),” contextual listening is moreappropriate for community engagement contexts (p. 124).18 Contextual listening is a multidimensional, integrated understanding of the listening process wherein listening facilitates meaning making, enhances human potential, and helps foster community-supported change. In this form of listening, information such as cost, weight, technical specs, desirable functions, and timeline acquires meaning only when the context of the person(s) making the
raciallyunderrepresented groups are underrepresented in institutions of higher education, overall, and inSTEM fields, in particular. For example, “Blacks, Hispanics, and other underrepresentedminorities together constitute 24% of the U.S. population, 13% of college graduates, and 10% ofthe college-degreed in S&E occupations.”7The Status of Women in Undergraduate EngineeringThe most recent national data for bachelor’s degrees awarded to women by discipline ispublished in the 2010 edition of the Profiles of Engineering and Engineering TechnologyColleges by ASEE (Figure 1). This data shows that undergraduate engineering is also impactedby patterns of territorial segregation, with high rates of bachelor’s degrees awarded to women inEnvironmental Engineering (43.1

keeping track of who is buying from their shop basically, and then they are trying to see how much. Just giving it, you know, a status take of how much each person is buying and what each person is buying, and then sending them ads related to the situation. But, I personally feel that there’s nothing really wrong keeping track of what each person buys from your own shop. However, the privacy part, we can get to that later, but….Rakesh asks if “anyone else feel[s] what Target did wasn’t wrong” and stresses that he doesn’tfind much wrong with anything Target did, framing Target as innocent and having done nothingwrong. Rakesh also describes Target in a way that stresses

level, the students areprovided the speed of sound in the air at sea level, which is 340.29 m/s. Using this information,the students determine the theoretical amount of time it takes the robot to react to objects in frontof it using simple unit cancellation and conversion. Next, the students perform the experimentand compare their experimental results vis-à-vis the theoretical values. This leads to a discussionabout the temperature- and altitude-dependence of the speed of sound in air. To scale the lessonto the middle school level, the students are given object detection threshold values in inches,asked to convert them to centimeters, and perform experimental investigations to determine theachieved object detection distance in centimeters
undisclosed information about the quality of the findings in the results. The withdrawal alsodeprives the scientific community of a resource for information on the underlying research. Thegoals of profit and competitiveness are not in line with conduct/release of research [20].Tenure, Promotion, and Performance ReviewsAn academic’s publication record is the basis for the tangible rewards of academic life such astenure and promotion, contracts and grants, honors, salary, including merit pay, status, marketcompetitiveness, and prestige. The pressure to produce publication/research results comes fromthe consequences of no results, the inability to obtain new funding s and/or the denial of tenure,promotions, or merit increases in salary.

comprehensive review of this literature here, wecite and discuss selected works that have influenced our thinking.A large body of research evidence suggests that active learning techniques – broadlytaken here to mean any form of instruction that engages students beyond passivelyreceiving information – promote learning10,11. A particularly convincing study conductedby Hake in the 1990’s demonstrated that physics students exposed to some form of“interactive engagement” developed higher levels of conceptual understanding than thosein “traditional” instructional settings12. Active learning grounds the SCALE-UP projectat North Carolina State University13, many of the integrated engineering curricula thatemerged in the 1990’s14, and some of the emerging

Although this study suggests that an open-endedmodeling problem can support teams of students to engage in making assumptions, additionalstudies are needed to understand the ways group dynamics and class norms interact withstudents’ engagement in making assumptions.References[1] J.

column based on the testing system was 6 ftat SLU and 4 ft at Rose-Hulman. Furthermore, the capacity of the hydraulic ram used for thecompressive tests is 50 kips. The column was designed to buckle about its weak axis at differentloads depending on effective length to illustrate elastic and/or inelastic buckling. The resultingsection was a W3x2.54 GR 60 “junior I-beam” (3 in. deep I-beam) acquired from Gerdau that istypically used for cross beams of box truck floors. The I-beam has slightly tapered flangessimilar to an S-shape compared to a wide-flange beam typically used as a column, but can still beused effectively to accomplish the objectives of the module. The first step in the design process was to create the column buckling curves
