was designed to help students visualize theserelationships and develop a deeper understanding of mass balance principles. The model was usedto separately demonstrate how to measure elevation-storage and stage-discharge relationships.The scale of the model makes it suitable for real-time, in-class demonstrations and experiments.All required equipment fits on a standard laboratory cart, and can be easily transported to theclassroom. A second objective of the model reservoir was to provide a system of sufficient simplicityto allow mathematical modeling. If a step function is used for the inflow hydrograph, and a vesselhaving a regular shape is used for the reservoir (e.g., cylinder), the differential mass balanceequations can be

To address the impactof noise in the dataset (e.g., outliers and missing parts), which can significantly impairclassification accuracy and prediction quality, we excluded data older than seven years. Thisdecision considers various evolving factors affecting academic performance, such as curriculumchanges, teaching methodologies, policy shifts, and extraordinary circumstances like theCOVID-19 pandemic. Aberrations in student records, like unexpectedly low grades from studentswith otherwise high prerequisite GPAs, are considered noise.

The isolation that these students feel on their teams may lead to alower feeling of belonging in their field and lower retention among these individuals8. Theseprocesses have been examined in social science research in the areas of stereotype threat, genderdifferences in small group dynamics, and active learning.Stereotype Threat.

Commercial laboratory balland beam systems exist but can be prohibitively expensive for large class sizes. However, in recentyears, microcontrollers have become more accessible and easier to use, providing a potentialplatform to create inexpensive ball and beam systems. Examples of ball and beam systems usinginexpensive microcontrollers are available [2]. In this work, one such example was adapted tocreate a classroom experiment to study PID controllers [2].
