The second step is the definition of datums.Though datums can be continually added throughout the annotation process, students areencouraged to develop a datum scheme that will fully cover specifications at this stage. Thoughchanges can be made to these after they are referenced by other elements, novices typically havedifficulty or lack the patience to do this, and resort to deletion and reinsertion (similar to makingmodifications to geometric features that “break” the CAD model). The third step is combiningindividual datums into datum reference frames (DRFs). The most common of these being theA|B|C orthogonal planar structure, though all feasible combinations based on the

In the Fall semester, students were provided format rules and directions tocomplete their hand-written homework assignment along with online submission. The layout andinstructions used in E&M course is as follows: Given, Find, Figure, Assumptions, Plan,Estimate, Solution, and Discussion.

Thus, the learning process consisted in three phases, anindividual study time based on pre-recorded lectures, a group study time of problem solving anddebate, and another individual study time, more of a reflection time in this case, in which thewhole learning process was rounded up and summarized in a final report. A survey was used toget feedback from the students after each implementation and the results of these surveys werediscussed in the paper. Overall the students like the technique and found it beneficial in theirlearning process. References1. Velegol, S. B., Zappe, S. E., & Mahoney, E. M. I. L. Y. (2015).

address some of these issues. After the 2014 changes, the Committee notedthat the reduction in scores for outcomes a, b, and d were a result of the greater flexibility in thenew design project solution, however this decline did not persist. Overall scores in the last twoyears for sophomores have been high (above four, which is the benchmark expectation for seniorperformance). A potential major contributing factor beyond the course improvements isconsistency – all students in BME 201 have very similar experiences, i.e., same client, sameadvisor, same project and same resources. The students are allowed to explore and develop theirideas within these confines, thus eliminating any complicating factors or influences onperformance due to varying

electricity outlet. The cell temperature of an HCPV module impacts its electricaloutput [5, 6]. Thus, HCPV needs a cooling system to maintain the temperature of the solarmodule. The cooling system can keep the temperature between 50°C and 80°C [7, 8], manydifferent kinds of cooling system have been shown in literature in the past[9-11]. Passive andactive cooling systems are two types of general cooling method for HCPV cooling.The passive cooling system uses a metal heat sink to cool down the panel. Many types ofresearch show the ability to use passive heat sink to keep panel efficiently (especially in500suns) [12-19], the passive cooling fin structure can be shown in Figure 3 [19].Figure 3.
