The ratio of tensile to yield strength of a metallic alloy correlates well to the strain hardening exponent, and is more easily obtained from a tensile curve.10. Meyer hardness correlates well to Rockwell hardness for both “B” and “C” scales.11.

and the highly competitive nature of the application process we have attempted tocreate opportunities at the college as well. Mentors work with students to help shape andidentify project goals and to offer guidance and support in the students’ execution of the project.While not a requirement by any means, students are encouraged to choose projects that aremeaningful to them and that serve a purpose in their communities. It is probably not surprisingthen that projects have often involved utilizing renewable energy like the solar boat projects,building autonomous robots meant to disinfect a room, and utilizing sensors to gauge airpollution (Figure 1).

ladder. Question 1 asks the user to find the coordinates of twopoints A and B, which are the end points of a ladder against a building. When that question isanswered correctly, then solving for the distance between those two points (Question 2), asshown in Figure 4 (b), would be asked as to calculate the length of the ladder. Question 3, asshown in Figure 4(c), asks the inclination/slope of the ladder the worker must climb. If all thethree questions are answered then the student would be able to see an animation of the workerclimbing the ladder. However, if any of the three questions are incorrect or unanswered, then theworker will not climb the ladder, that means the player did not score all three points. a. Part 1 – Question 1
thestudents thought simulation laboratory exercises were excellent or very good.We also compared the percentage of students who performed at the A, A-, B+, B, and B- levelswith past records (while teaching was in-person), which turned out to be comparable and similar.This indicates the effectiveness of these simulation-based labs & projects, and their contributionin helping to maintain the course standard.IntroductionIn many institutions, undergraduate courses in Feedback and Control for engineering students areusually at the junior level. Such courses provide students an introduction to concepts andmethods related to modeling, analyses, and control of a physical system. Typical topics coveredinclude Laplace transform, modeling in the frequency

The survey was electronically administered via Qualtrics toeleven students enrolled in small private university in Texas. The students selected to participatein the study consisted of both present and past students that participated in research groupsmentored by the faculty advisor. In this regard, survey questions were generated based on recurrentconversations the faculty advisor had with his undergraduate students during research meetings,office hours, or arbitrary settings.

Lab #5 was the PjBL contest and marked a significant increase inexpectations. The results of this study, suggest that students are able to incorporate feedback fromteaching assistants and myself and show improvements in technical writing. The Labs increasedin difficulty, so even the groups of students that maintained their grade at the specified level showmarked improvement in communicating difficult concepts.I found specifications grading in technical writing to be an effective method of evaluation.

Course Structure and Management of Learning CyclesDuring the Fall 2020 semester, the principal course instructor used the Master Based Learningmethod for the first time, using his section of Statics with a total enrollment of 49 students (39male, 10 female). The course was divided into 15 topics or “modules”, but some were combinedfor testing purposes, yielding 13 Mastery Test Levels. In order to earn a given letter grade (A, B,C, D; the institution does not use +/-), the student is required to pass each test corresponding tothe grade level, as well as all tests corresponding to the lower grade levels. Approximately onenew module is delivered

Example of hybrid use of MULTISIMNorton theorem enables a complex circuit to be replaced with an equivalent circuit consisting ofan equivalent Norton resistor and an equivalent Norton current. Consider the circuit of figure 1.Let as assume that it is desired to find the current through R6 using Norton theorem. The circuitcan then be replaced by the circuit shown in figure 2 using Norton theorem. In order to calculateIN (Norton current), R6 should be shorted and 2 terminals added where R6 was. The currentthrough where R6 was is the Norton current. In figure 3, the current through nodes A & B is Nortoncurrent. The current through
