The Turing machine then takesthe first transition from the start state to state 3; this transition is marked by the triplet (a, a, R).According to this triplet, the machine reads the first symbol a from the leftmost cell of the tape,writes back a on the same cell and moves right. The result is shown in Figure 3, where themachine is scanning the second symbol, b, from the tape (after scanning the first symbol).

The three items in the implicit personality theories of intelligence domain measure arethe following: a) You have a certain amount of intelligence and you really can’t do much to change it; b) Your intelligence is something about you that you can’t change very much; and c) You can learn new things, but you can’t really change your basic intelligence.Respondents indicated their agreement with these statements on a 6-point scale from 1 (stronglyagree) to 6 (strongly disagree) [25, p. 269].

However, it is clear that graphs c) and d) have more spread. This could be due to thenature of those instruments. Both of them are diagnostic with no penalization to students.

electromagnet attached to the central speaker.The plywood frame also housed four smaller speakers which used permanent magnets. Thecreators of this speaker initially also had the idea that the current supplied by the audio signalfrom the phone would create a large enough force that the cardboard diaphragm would vibrate.They learned that the current supplied by the phone would not create a strong enough magneticfield to vibrate the cardboard diaphragm. This group solved their problem with the four smallerspeakers with plastic diaphragms. The speaker designs shown in Figures 2b and 2c exceededexpectations.

) where D = distance of object, T = time elapsed and V = velocity of ultrasonic burst. b. TILT SWITCH We implemented a tilt switch to our circuit so that when the glove is in the downward position (the user’shand is down), the ultrasonic sensors will be deactivated. This will prevent the glove from detecting theground when the user is not using the glove to locate objects in front of the individual. The tilt switch is namedaccordingly due to the metallic ball on the inside of its container that acts as a switch to either complete thecircuit (ON position) or not (OFF position), similar to a push button. These switches were once commonlymade with mercury that was used to complete the circuit if the switch was at a certain angle

was administrated to find out studentexperiences with concept mapping. A total of 92 students who took Engineering Dynamics inthe semester participated in the survey. These students were primarily from two departments atthe author’s institution: Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) and Civil andEnvironment Engineering (CEE) departments. The survey included both Likert-type and open-response items. The following paragraphs describe three survey items:Item #1: Please rate your overall experience with developing your own concept maps: A) Highly negative, B) Negative, C) Neutral, D) Positive, E) Highly positiveItem #2: Overall, the concept maps helped improve your conceptual understanding of dynamics concepts, laws, and
innovation in engineering education necessitates research on ways of thinking. Wesought to gain this understanding based on four specific ways of thinking including futures,values, systems, and strategic thinking. The study builds on the existing body of knowledgeregarding these ways of thinking, while initiating a first step toward an ‘EER ways of thinking’model. We believe the resulting model could serve as an organizing and motivating structure toframe decisions throughout all engineering education endeavors.ReferencesBrown, T. A. (2015).

activities undertaken by the student.Unfortunately, in recent years, extensive use of solution manuals and replication of answers fromthe solution manual without any understanding has been a major hurdle in the learning process ofthe students. Blind faith in the solution manual rather their own abilities to solve problemsnegatively impacts a student’s conceptual understanding of the principles of Dynamics andtherefore impedes their critical thinking ability. This is a nationwide phenomenon [1], [2], [3]and some important reasons has been traced to – (a) students who are employed outside schoolfind less time in their studies, (b) lack of mathematical and analytical skills discourages studentsfrom trying on their own, and (c) instant gratification of

therefore we use discrete valuesthat can help in developing good intuition for the different rules.The paper details many examples, among them:(a) Chain Rule:--Inflating a balloon: Change in the volume of a constantly inflated (or deflated) balloon dependson the change in its radius which changes as a function of time.(b) Product Rule:--Delivering apples: An agricultural plant delivers apples on a daily basis. The apples are packedin a fixed number of boxes with of a fixed number of apples in each box.

, asking for the students’ opinion using the 5-point LikertScale (Appendix B). The intent of the post-activity assessment survey was to gauge the effect ofthe activity itself. Of the 35 registered students, 31 students were present in the class and completedboth assessments.The demonstration incorporated the use of an aquarium, bowl, hot water, dry ice, a bubblemachine, and colored smoke bombs to explain how inversion works. The aquarium containingdenser colder CO2 gas from the dry ice surrounded by warmer room air creates a temperatureinversion. When bubbles are blown over to the aquarium, it is observed that bubbles float on theartificial inversion layer. The objective was to show that bubbles do not sink with the presence ofan inversion layer

Study Procedures One section of students (n = 37) enrolled in an advanced Circuit Analysis (Network Theory)course were randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups (CITS or CTT). Over the courseof a semester, students were encouraged to engage with the MLE tutors when studying and in theirspare time. Three course examinations and three surveys were administered to intervention
