of technology, safety, distributive justice, and practical efforts to improve lifefor all.In his book The Living Planet, David Attenborough10 shares an environmental philosophy thatpoints out critical issues that can be helpful to students. In his "World Conservation Strategy,"he states three imperatives: 1. We shouldn't so exploit natural resources that we destroy them. 2. We shouldn't interfere with the basic processes of the earth upon which all life depends, in the sky, on the green surfaces of the earth, and in the sea. 3. We should preserve the diversity of life.The rights and duties we have mentioned above were reflected to some extent in the 111distinguishable topics garnered in the study of class opinions

Since the main difference between the sections was the display of the classperformance reports, it is believed that the display of the aggregate class responses served as afocus-trigger, which encouraged or forced reflection. This resulted in students being moreattentive to and engaged with the class material

In addition to the base ‘bot, students were given a set of sensors including an IR distance sensor (GP2Y0A21YK0F, Sharp), a bump sensor (snap action switch , Pololu) and two line tracking reflectance sensors (QTR-1A, pololu).

A particularly 10 striking example is a learning experience in a traditional signals and systems biomedical engineering class that required a cross discipline twist: producing a musical instrument from biological signals. The cross discipline induced constraints forced students to engage and dramatically learn from cross discipline subject matter experts. Other elements include the ability to learn from reflection, and being evaluated according to the metrics of the cross discipline vs. one’s own discipline. Cited references

This key reflects the lock’s bitting.The blank is placed in the lock, torque is applied, and the key is moved up and down againstthe pins; any pin at the improper height will be bound against the sides of the lock body andcylinder. This binding friction slightly marks the pins on the blank. The key is then removedfrom the lock, inspected for marks, and cut with a file where they are found. Cuts are madeone bit-depth at a time, and the process is repeated. This can be done for all pins in the lock atonce under normal circumstances. If the attack is successful, the attacker will end up with aworking key. The only caveat is that the attacker must apply the proper torque and

Similarly, bibliometrics account for veryspecific behaviors in scholarly discourse- namely, who a scholar cites in their work andwho a scholar is cited by. Bibliometrics do not reflect the way that these citations areframed in a text, so works that connect two scholars through bibliographic coupling mayreceive different framings (e.g. positive in one article, negative in another) by differentauthors.Research questionsTo that end the following research questions are proposed: 1.

It is plausible that the math advisory exam may not be a reliable predictorof math readiness of our students, or that the high school grades are not consistent with thestudents’ skills in the various subject areas.

Among the relatively fewcitation studies that specifically examine where faculty publish (Davis13; Hughes12; Lascar &Mendelsohn9; LaBonte10), even fewer address engineering specifically (Salisbury & Smith14;Tucker15; Wilson & Tenopir16). Several of these researchers explain the importance of havinglocal-level data to inform their collection decisions. For example, as Hughes mentions, “byheavily favoring journals valued by Penn State faculty, as reflected in publications and citings,this study took into account the particular research interests of Penn State faculty”12.

control. The labs with range sensors were themost challenging because they did not have a complete understanding of odometry and sensorerror. For example, specular reflection for sonar or lighting conditions for infrared. Thissometimes made getting the line following, robot following, and obstacle detection to workcorrectly a bit frustrating. There were also some challenges with the robot marco polo and robotcommunication for similar reasons. One solution we found to make the robot communicationmore accurate was the addition of electrical tape on the sensor to narrow the field of view.Although many of the students had never written a technical memo/report before, reviewedtechnical literature, or written a discussion or annotated bibliography

All of these experiential learning modes can beenhanced by engaging the students with interactions with hardware modules.

As notedin our previous work 2 , in many cases student’s seem to be performing better after exam I thenexam II. We have no reason why this is the case, but we are performing additional experiments tosee if we can determine why this is happening. Broadly, it appears that the GraphletMatch metricis as good as RGF-distance with the added benefit of being a true matching of graphlets asopposed to RGF-distance’s measure of approximate structure.Figure 6 shows a similar comparison as previous but with the GranularSimilarity metric and thenew match
