Currently, it is used in Page 24.761.12many monitoring and accessibility applications and various other applications. It does not have ahard disk but uses a SD card for booting and persistence storage. The Model B of Raspberry Pi,which is used in our LEWAS Lab, has 512MB RAM, 2 USB ports, an HDMI port, a VGA videoport and an Ethernet port. Figure 10 shows how Raspberry Pi can be connected to the sensors tocollect data and how the data will be stored in the database.Figure 10.

parameters to an A, B, C, D or F school grade for three categories: pollution,habitat, and fisheries.Instructors and participants are then able to explore the concepts of sustainability in relationshipto these categories. The fisheries category is used to relate the concepts of population, resourcesand consumption to rockfish, oysters, crab and shad populations in the watershed and Bay. Thehabitat is used to discuss land use, and development and the relationship between land use andenvironmental impacts, which leads into the pollutants in the watershed. Instructors help byproviding definitions of the pollutant categories shown in the report card, which include:nitrogen/phosphorus, dissolved oxygen, water clarity, and toxics.Participants work with

Sincethen, the SASI has been used in various empirical studies to explore profiles of FYE students indifferent conditions. For example, Immekus et al. (2005)9 attempted to examine noncognitiveprofiles of students in the four different academic statuses after their FYE program: (a)successful and stayed at the university, (b) successful and left the university, (c) unsuccessful andstayed at the university, and (d) unsuccessful and left the university. Particularly, the SASIrevealed differences in noncognitive characteristics between students who persist in
continual checks of understanding make thelevel one worksheet excellent for assessing knowledge gained from a pre-assigned reading forexample. This allows the student to monitor his/her progress by working the problem andautomatically checking the answer. If incorrect, the instant feedback aids the student by returninguseful hints. Additionally, a hint button is present to guide the student towards a helpful page inthe textbook for reference. By using this self-assessment worksheet, students can ensure theyunderstand the reading and see if the material covered has been retained.

, engineering self-efficacy 2 and engineering careeroutcome expectations were significant predictors of men’s persistence in engineering.Engineering self-efficacy 1 measures a student’s ability to reach academic milestones focusingon courses (Chemistry, Calculus, and Physics) as barriers. Engineering self-efficacy 2 measuresa student’s ability to reach academic milestones facing all undergraduate engineering majors.This tells us that, for this sample, mastering coursework (earning an A or B) is the mostsignificant predictor for women’s persistence in engineering, and completing coursework (notnecessarily obtaining an A or B—merely completing the course) is the most significant predictorfor men’s persistence in engineering. For both men and women
