Write down the team’s observations below.”After approximately ten minutes, students were then provided with guided exploration, askingthem to increase or decrease the weight of the object attached to the pendulum and compare totheir first scenario. For example: “Choose an object(s) with a lighter mass than 1. Attach to the bottom of the pendulum. Compared to 1, the mass moment of inertia: Increased Decreased Same”The total time for this activity was approximately 20 minutes.Upon completion of the pendulum activity, students were

storage in a freezer wasrecommended. An alternative is to use wet-resin layup, where the liquid resin and hardener aremixed just prior to use and added to the dry fibers with paint brushes and rollers. This process isquite messy and time-consuming. For several years, specimens for the class were made as largepanels from prepreg materials and then cut into individual specimens with an abrasive saw. Thismethod was also time-consuming and did not involve the students in the fabrication process.The development of “out of autoclave” prepreg materials as a cost-saving measure in aerospaceapplications has been ongoing since the mid-1990’s [5]. As a result of these efforts, reasonablypriced small quantities of high-quality prepregs that can be oven-cured

It is also encouragingthat the students identified the value of the short writing assignments in refining their thinkingand improving their communication skills.ConclusionsOverall, this project was successful in

Detailed Case Study: Ultrasonic Distance Sensor Overview of HC-SR04 The HC-SR04 module is an inexpensive (about US $3) ultrasonic distance sensor, as shownin Figure 2 [5]. It measures the elapsed time of a reflected ultrasonic pulse. The distance thencan be calculated by a simple formula: distance = elapsed_time * speed_of_sound / 2The measurement range of the module is between 2 cm to 400 cm and the resolution is 3 mm(which corresponds to the17-s elapsed time).

looked to compare male and femalestudents throughout the essay, as there seemed to be a difference between the two genders. Theyfound that males are less likely to ask for help when needed and that female students had ahigher “trigger point” (the grade at which they decided to seek out SI). [3] With the use of theirfindings, they were able to further improve the SI in their class.A study in 2008 by T. Bowles, A. McCoy, and S. Bates focused on if the student will graduateon time instead of the student’s grade. They believe that it is more important to look at long-termoutcomes, such as graduation rates, rather than just course performance.

Finally, the faculty was not in favor of eliminatinganother professional elective because it was felt that students should be able to select at leastthree courses that meet their professional needs. (The civil engineering curricula and descriptionof the courses can be found at http://uhaweb.hartford.edu/CEE.) The existing sophomore designcourse was selected instead of the junior or senior level design courses because of the desire tohave students who have gained “on-site” experience be available to mentor students thefollowing year(s) so that their expertise is not lost. Also, this will provide those students mostinterested in design for developing communities to be involved in a leadership role in subsequentprojects. In order for the
