information extraction suffered as a result. However, atpresent, high-resolution time-frequency representation technique provides a naturaldomain for analyzing and processing such non-stationary data. This technique canmeasure the local changes in frequency and scale content of a signal in the data set. Inthis paper we present the applications of this advanced signal processing and analysistechnique to solve problems related to geophysical seismic data especially applicable tohydrocarbon exploration and prospecting. One of the latest digital signal processing toolsis MATLAB (Matrix Laboratory), from MathCAD, which can be used to analyze,interpret, and process seismic data to specialized graphics features required inengineering and scientific

(Work-in-Progress) Embodying Design: Increasing Self-Efficacy through Somatic EducationAbstractBackground: Self-efficacy is a known factor in academic performance—for example, see[1]—and student retention—for example, see [2]—in engineering. Bandura [3], [4] proposesfour modes to increase self-efficacy, one of which is physiological and affective states.Research suggests that all four pathways are correlated with academic outcomes amongundergraduate engineering students [1], yet there are no known interventions that specificallyattempt to increase engineering students’ self-efficacy through somatic education, includingtraining students to be more aware of physiological and affective states.Purpose
