AR can augment the effectiveness of navigation devices. Information can bedisplayed on a car’s windshield indicating information of where the user is going. In militarytraining, AR can be employed as a third eye for a soldier to help him to figure out if there issomeone on his back. In addition, with the usage of AR, a soldier does not have to stop to look ata map

, four statics problems were given, each in two formats: MC and CR. Twoversions of the exam were made—Exam A and Exam B—and each exam had a differentcombination of the four statics problems, two that had a series of MC questions, and two thatwere CR, (see the Appendix for all problems). Seventy-five students did either a MC version ora CR version of each problem, resulting in MC answers and a control group of CR answers toeach statics problem. The students were also polled for feedback regarding their preferences oftest question/problem format at the end of the semester.The four statics problems used were as follows. The first problem, Figures A.1 (CR version) andA.5 (MC version) presented a concurrent force system and asked the student to

Page 23.742.6 Figure 1: SE4485 in the undergraduate SE curriculumBased on the relative position of SE4485 in the hierarchy we observe that it essentially integrates theknowledge that is learned and accumulated by students in their prior courses and gives them anopportunity to apply that knowledge collectively.

constraining theoutward bowing due to radial stress, this shifted the fundamental frequency upward.The 4-bladed turbine would not self-start. This was addressed by cutting a cardboard postalmailing tube along its axis, and using the two halves as a Savonius wind turbine. This was placedwell inboard of the lifting blades to avoid limiting the tip speed. This arrangement wasinsufficient to self-start the 4-bladed turbine, showing that the aerodynamic blades weregenerating substantial negative torque. This negative torque was traced to the second quadrant(starting with the reference along the downwind direction). To alleviate this issue, a guidevanewas found to be be the right solution. The resulting arrangement is shown in part (b) of Figure 1.The 4

What aspects of making DIY interactive digital whiteboards were most successful in terms of teacher reports of feasibility and impact on outcomes of interest? b. Which aspects of making DIY interactive digital whiteboards were the least successful and instead the most difficult in these areas for teachers? 2. What supports

ABET1 outcomes ‘b’ and ‘k’. Although it may be arguedthat the inclusion of more learning outcomes may overburden the students and require them toallocate more time for this course, the feedback from students for the last two semesters has beengenerally positive. This paper provides the details of the curriculum and explains the rationalebehind the changes in a critical course for ME and CE students. It is expected that the curriculumwill lead to a broader discussion on the need to revamp critical courses in the engineeringcurriculum in order to enhance student engagement, and in an attempt to improve studentretention in engineering.Keywords: Curriculum, Statics, Dynamics, Scaffolding.1.

- pedagogic training of academic teachersAbstractThe following report explains, why it is necessary, to train academic teachers by using a“competence-oriented” curriculum. That means, to give the teachers the chance, to workproject-oriented and to learn to reflect their own working and problem-solutions in teaching.To demonstrate the possibility of such curriculum, a prototype was developed by using themethods of vocational-science. That means to analyze the work-processes of academicteachers about their core work-tasks and to transfer this to project-based modules ofengineering education.Keywords: PBL, PBE, TVET, Bachelor, educationProblem in brief: About the duality of engineering BA Courses of studyConcept of

Since our data, in this paper and previous papers9-24, show that S-L has apositive effect on retention, it may be to any College of Engineering’s benefit to advocate for S-L in the core courses required in other departments. Why should science faculty be concernedabout S-L in their courses? While by comparison with engineering students, science and mathstudents are less positively impacted by S-L

The conceptual design (CD)phase can be conveniently subdivided into three distinct sub-phases: (a) Parametric Sizing (PS)Phase [technical and economic design solution space identification], (b) Configuration Layout(CL) Phase [identification of alternative design solutions resulting in configuration trade matrix],and (c) Configuration Evolution (CE) Phase [quantification and identification of baselineaircraft]. Tasks 7 and 8 are only concerned with the first two CD phases, being the PS and CLphases. The PS (Parametric Sizing) Phase first identifies the available
