Skytrax which comes with its own payload bay. A payload can be an altimeter as in Figure5 or anything else that is allowable including an insect. The MaxTrax has a built-in altimeter, butit is very unreliable. Figure 5. RTF model rockets used for practiceThe project used QWEST Corporation’s Big Dog (B & D) model that had to be constructed. TheB&D is a relatively large model, but it does not have a payload bay as in the SkyTrax above. Thecone had to be fitted with hooks and wires to hang the altimeter and tiny holes had to be drilled onthe upper part of the tube to allow air in for pressure differential detection. The B & D model hasfour fins, a length of 82.55 cm and a mass of 198.45 grams according to the manufacturer

These locations were selectedbased on the tool size and the previous research as shown in Fig. 2.

B. a useful framework for critical decision making that adds managerial insights and facilitates development of intuition behind decision making under uncertainties. For example, why does volatility increase the value of flexibility (when the flexibility is viewed as an option, its holders do not lose from increased uncertainties if things turn out wrong, but gain if they turn out right because the real

It is quitebeyond the powers of any one person to even scan it all in any one field, much less read it.”Professor Johnson argued that “the mind of an engineer should be a workshop and not awarehouse.

We used a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B to serve as our local gateway. TheRaspberry Pi Model B was selected as it is well documented on the Internet, and readilyavailable for students to purchase at a low price. In this experiment we used the Linux operating system due to its simplicity and portability.Furthermore, all students are expected to be familiar with Linux, as they explored it in theirnetworking course.

Thetwo part question is designed to inform the instructor if a student guesses or has amisunderstanding by identifying “disordered pairs”. An incorrect “yes” or “no” response pairedwith a correct explanation indicates a lack of understanding or a “misunderstanding”. Thisdisordered pair is defined as “Scenario 1”. A correct “Yes” or “No” response paired with anincorrect explanation, indicates the student guessed. This is identified as “Scenario 2”. Instancesof misunderstanding and guessing are identified.

Stereolithography (SLA) process involves curing or solidifying a photosensitive polymer resin in a vet by light beam (ultraviolet laser). The 3D model is built up layer by layer as the cured layer in the bed recedes down into the vet and new resin covers the previously cured layer. The resin covering the previous layer can now be cured by the ultraviolet laser to the previous layer, thus building the next layer of the part. Only the liquid polymers could be used in this process, and the product’s surface finish is better. b. In FDM, a thin filament

The simulation and measurement are both performed on one of the original fivecircuits solved by written analysis, so that the students (a) need not solve another completely newcircuit, and (b) may confirm their written analysis by two alternate means.
