Water analysis for this first design was notperformed.Based on feedback, student in the 2011-12 GEO course worked with several faculty membersand a water laboratory manager from the local city to develop an improved water filter. Thedesign involved a single 13-gallon trash can to remove the need for multiple buckets and toprovide better stability on the islands. This time, 0.5 to 1-inch diameter gravel (1 ¼ inches high),1-5 mm diameter course sand (1 ¼ inches high), and 0.15-0.3 mm diameter fine sand (13 incheshigh) were used. The effective filtration height was similar to the 2010-11 design. Sand waswashed and separated using mesh and washing techniques. Three filters were built with severalof the islanders.

more knowledge than those whoare not engaged in their coursework. There are numerous pedagogical methods used to activelyengage students in their learning such as: projects in and out of the classroom, laboratory work,jigsaw learning, service learning, field trips, and research. Other methods of classroominstruction also engage students in learning by simpler more subtle means, such as: randomlyselecting students during a lecture to answer questions or give their opinion on a topic, student-produced journals, peer review, and through faculty sharing stories related to the course topicsfrom their own work experience. The goal of this paper is to examine the use of the latter. Doesteaching with the incorporation of course topic-related stories

The project will continue with the collaboration of students, high school educators, and theCollege of Engineering.9. ConclusionsThe process of creating a tool prototype with 3D modeling software, printing said prototype, thensand casting the final part, is a viable and affordable option for the rapid manufacturing of manytools. However, several factors must be considered if a business or individual would like to makeuse of said model. First, the size of the tool should be considered.

Since TCP requires retransmission for packet loss, we use the number ofretransmission to compare two network configurations. Since unreliable transport layer protocolUDP does not require retransmission, packet loss is used instead for the comparison.For the performance measurement collection, we use open-source software tool iperf3,developed by ESnet and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Since we use 7 differentreceiving signal strength, we determine the signal strength between the client and the accesspoint by using the Linux command iwconfig for each test as close as possible.

At an early age Shane found himself tinkering with electronics more than he would like to admit. His parents feared buying him new pieces of technology because inevitably they would end in pieces on a work bench next to a kid with a smile on. Once accepted to the USCGA Shane took his curiosity to the classroom and began his studies within the EE major. After an antennas course his junior year he found himself perplexed at the intricacies of this field of study. He then pursued an internship at MIT
