In the last two years, an open sourcenanoVNA was developed and introduced to the market with a $50 price for a 1.5 GHz VNA and$150 for a 3 GHz VNA.

A reading log system where content responsibility is progressively shifted from theinstructor’s questions to student identification and reflection has been developed andimplemented in junior-level Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics courses to address several ofthe issues associated with student use of the textbook. The goal of the reading log is to improvestudent use of resource material and to provide opportunities for students to develop skills inreading scientific material.

Students wereprovided a list of possible events to attend and regular announcements were made of appropriateevents that were being hosted around the university. Based on student feedback from the firstyear’s offering, along with the recognition that the cancelled classes provided additionalopportunities to bring in exploration content (and that some students, due to other constraints,could attend only activities during normal class times), the second year offering was modified.The first-year

Indeed, many undergraduate research projects at WPI, a predominantly- STEM institution, involve the design, development, test, implementation, analysis, and use of technologies. Techno-centrism (at the expense of a human-centric approach to technology) is not unique to undergraduate research projects. Many of the ethical problems with current commercialized technologies such as facial recognition systems are indeed a reflection of the widespread techno-centrism in the tech industry (Morozov, 2013; Sims, 2017).

These students show lack ofinterests in lecture and remain less interactive. Hence, they neglect many fundamental conceptswhich are difficult to learn effectively through self-study.
