. Arduino: We use Arduino as a main tool in our project. Arduino is open source platform; we usedArduino to successfully complete our project. Arduino consist both physical programmable circuitboard and a piece of software. Arduino Uno has 14 digital input/output pins, USB connection, 6 analoginputs, reset button as shown in Figure 1(a). Arduino programming is an implementation of wiring.2. Potentiometers: A potentiometer also referred to as pot may come in a wide variety of shapes andare used in many applications in your daily life, for example to control the audio volume of the radio.A pot is a manually adjustable variable resistor with three terminals. Figure 1(b) shows some examplesof potentiometers. (a

Thestructure was designed by a group of faculty, students, and staff. Add-on tools can be purchasedlocally or custom-made based on the course requirements. Initially the laboratory unit was madewith wooden frames and plywood and later with an aluminum extrusion frame and plates. Thesetup is envisioned for both lecture classrooms and lab classrooms.

Thefollowing table compares these properties. Point property A curve rises at the point a0 if the slope of the tangent line at a0 is positive. Global property A curve such as y = e x is monotonic if it rises at every point, x, < –∞ < x < ∞. Interval property A wiggling curve that rises from a low at x = a to

, analyzation of problems. The students upon completing the labs, the proficiency developsand then they are capable of handling complex tasks.The courses such as Microprocessor based system design needs a hands-on experience lab toexercise better from the theoretical knowledge. Microprocessors are widely used in differentcommercial applications. So, the industries look for the students, who have practical knowledgealong with theory (Davies, A.C., 2013; Goettler, R. and Gordon, B., 2009). It is a challenge toinstructor, to bring a student who can meet the standards of an industry. Hands-on experiencebrings the comprehension to students and so then can be aware of multiple connectivity ofresources. One of the big challenges is adapting hands-on
alongside CS students, as well as inadditional courses in a chosen domain. However, we opted to take a different approach anddevelop a minor degree specific to social science students given that (a) prior programmingexperience and mathematical background have been shown to predict success in introductoryprogramming courses, e.g., [11] - [13], and (b) social science students typically have noprogramming and very little math background relative to CS majors. As such, we developed anentirely new series of four courses with content crafted specifically for these students, such thatclasses are taken only with fellow social science students (similar to the computational socialscience minor at UC San Diego). Courses are designed to be taken serially
equations for the different parts of the bottle can thenbe determined based on these values. The straight sections of the bottle can be assumed to followthe format of the equation r=rn where r is on the x-axis and rn is the value on the x-axis itself.The curved sections follow the format for a quadratic equation (which states y=ax2+bx+c). Theconstants a, b, and c of this equation can be determined based on at least three random points offof each curve assuming that the y-axis goes straight through the middle of the bottle. Theequations for each of these curves can then be used to determine the volume of each individualsection by rotating these curves around an axis (in this case, around the h-axis). This can be doneby using the integral seen in

New courses, grant work, and research rarelygo as anticipated and will require changes. Navigating these changes as a research team andassisting student navigate these changes will be critical for student learning. Part III: Conclusion The research we reviewed included a variety of populations, methods, and results.Despite these differences, we noticed two reoccurring themes: a) project management skills arecritical skills, especially for students interested in engineering, and b) project management skillsare
: a. What they find desirable or valuable in the job setting (in terms of their long range career path). b. How they transitioned from a first-year student to a co-op/intern student in terms of school performance and motivation. c. Challenges they may have had from a persistence standpoint (e.g. bouncing back from a poor grade on an assignment, quiz or test). d. How their co-op/internship experience is part of their strategy to reach their ultimate goal (whether full-time employment, graduate school, etc.) Additionally, it was important in all the items above that the shadowed employee asks the first-year student about their thoughts and opinions as
shown in figure 1. That included designing of (a) each part, (b) interacting mechanismsamong parts and (c) workability of the system including all the parts. The audience for thesemachining videos is freshman level students with no fabrication experience. With limitedexperience a great deal of effort was made to make it interesting and fairly simple. Also machiningideas of each components were carefully considered so that it is not overly complicated and easyto understand. After that, raw materials were purchased for the system and a detailed plan formachining every part was developed. In phase 2, undergraduate research assistants involved in thisproject machined every part using machine shops at our university, and video recorded all of
activities they felt they wereengaged in between the start and the end of the program. Data collected on this topic are summarizedbelow. a) For experiential learning, the percentage of students reporting either 1 or 2 opportunities or more than 2 opportunities increased from 62.5% to 100% over the program period. b) For professional development, the percentage of students reporting either 1 or 2 opportunities or more than 2 opportunities increased from 87.5% to 100% over the program period. c) For doing a scientific research project, the percentage of students reporting either 1 or 2 opportunities or more than 2 opportunities increased from 87.5% to 100% over the program period.”What can be summarized from above is

Specifically, entering college having anetwork of peers, faculty and administrators gave students access to resources they might nothave otherwise utilized, in addition to a sense of family. Likewise, there are numerous examplesof successful mentoring programs in higher education like the Meyerhoff Scholars Program [18],the Merit Program for Emerging Scholars at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign[19], the Adventor Program [20] and others.Generally, there are three primary components to a mentoring program: (a) program values, (b)access to faculty and peers, and (c

, a common theme that students mentioned concerned learning from failure orpersistence through failure. The e-learning modules developed by Erdil, et. al (2016; 2017) aswell as the instrument development and subsequent research by Li and colleagues (Li, et al.,2016; Li, et al., 2018; Li, et al., 2019) also use the 3Cs framework as their guiding structure. Asindicated in the table in Appendix B, quite a few of the papers identified relied on the KEEN 3Csstructure as the framework guiding their work.One of the likely reasons for the commonality of the KEEN framework is the number ofuniversities and instructors who have partnered with the organization to develop instructionalchanges based on the entrepreneurial mindset. For example, Bernal, et
