The LeapMotion’s speed, ease of use, accuracy and price make it a competitive alternative to thegoniometer, a commonly used tool for angle measurement. The Leap Motion, a hand gesturetracking system was analyzed with respect to its angle measuring capabilities. Existing software,BREKEL Pro Hands® was used in conjunction with the Leap Motion® to generate an Excel®worksheet of hand data. These data were analyzed utilizing MATLAB® to calculate joint angles.The joint angle measurements were

Television signals can easilybe carried over a single fiber, thereby opening up newpossibilities for both entertainment and business purposes.Buildings can be "wired", with the almost invisible fibers,to provide internal communication services.

As companies went global with their sourcing programs over the years,procurement became a strategic function within successful organizations4. It has becomeimportant for students in engineering and technology programs to become familiar with theconcepts of supply chain management, forecasting, inventory control and continuousimprovement.

IntroductionGiven clear evidence of disparities in educational attainment, much importance has been placedon increasing use of inclusive teaching to help close this so-called achievement gap [1]–[4]. Inscience, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) disciplines, deliberate inclusive practicemay reduce the “leaving” phenomenon where those underrepresented amongst STEM majorssuch as women and minoritized racial groups would otherwise fail to complete their STEMdegree program [5]–[7]. For example, active learning has been shown to improve learning gainsand reduce failure rates especially among underrepresented minority (URM) students [2].Similarly, current recommendations
