The second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) was initiated by Congress inorder to find solutions to three national transportation challenges: (1) increase highway safety toachieve the target of zero fatality on US highways; (2) increase mobility and reduce trafficcongestion, and (3) how to maintain existing infrastructure through renewal and maintenance ofroads and bridges. Over the course of several years, SHRP 2 has funded more than 100 researchprojects. These projects were developed to address national level transportation challenges usingstate and/or local level case studies. SHRP 2 research results have been disseminated to thepublic through a series of solutions (in the form of guidance documents and/or online/offlinesoftware

Massive Online Circuits LabAbstractThis work describes the design and implementation of EE40LX: Electronic Interfaces, the firstlarge-scale analog circuits laboratory hosted offered by edX. EE40LX revolved aroundconstructing a robot, emphasizing hands-on circuit building over circuit analysis to keep thecourse broadly accessible. With over 80 thousand students from over 190 nations enrolled acrossone year, this course is the largest and most distributed open analog circuits laboratory of itskind. Its sheer scale necessitated careful design of the robot project and a robust rubric for peergrading. This paper presents a detailed description of the course and its instructional design. Intotal, 856 robots were built and over 2233 students earned a

Learning to use the technology should not create excessive work for the faculty member. Class preparation should take approximately the same amount of time as for a traditional lecture. 3. The new technology should be reliable and convenient. The author is currently using a technological method for teaching engineering mechanicscourses that meets the criteria listed above. A key component to the method is that the facultymember projects complex figures on the board and then uses chalk (or markers or a smart boardor a tablet) to modify the figures. This teaching method blends the traditional lecture

This paper served to explain the first phase of the project which was to identify ambientenergy sources and group in specific categories. The sources identified and listed in the table wassupported by the literature review in academia and industry. The research works have beenconducted so far, support the idea of having specific energy sources to power the house.
