In addition, she was to modify the numerical solution ofthe resulting differential equation to use Matlab® instead of TKSolver®. With these changes,the overall objectives of this experiment were to: 1. Determine the experimental free convection heat transfer coefficient for the top surface of a horizontal hot plate exposed to air 2.

of the ALU and other functional units, such as FULL ADDER, andthe gates are designed as a standard unit with a fixed height of 31.8 microns and a fixed location forNMOS and PMOS within the given height with an intent to build a custom library called project.After individual gates and functional units have been designed as described above, a more complex logicfunction such as ALU can now be implemented using the predesigned project library components. Oneimportant reason for designing ALU this way is modularity. Since this ALU is a self-contained modularunit, it can be incorporated into any larger designs with little modification to its interconnects to repurposeit to fit given design needs or requirements.

Provisional Refinements to Address Challenges Faced by Students in Online LearningStudents’ survey responses, overall, suggest the following challenges in comparison with face-to-face instruction: (1) students feel less motivated to collaborate on assignments, (2) it is moredifficult for students to follow the lecture and not get distracted, and (3) it is more difficult forstudents to connect with each other. Presented below are tentative approaches to address thesechallenges to some extent.To motivate students’ interaction and collaboration on projects and
