Strategies and ImplementationThe summer accelerator program has evolved over the three years in the number of hoursallocated to math activities. However, the three camps have in common the following strategies:a) Recruitment of students giving priority to students with low grades in previous math classes;b) Pre-test used to categorize students according to their level of math and to arrange studentgroups that are at a similar level;c) Individualized study plans for each participant and usage of a problem-generator software thatincludes video and tutoring capabilities;d) Low student/instructor ratio per class;e) Freedom

However even this sophisticatedly structured multimedia objectscatalog has room for improvement. This suggested multimedia objects catalog is still a looselystructured collection that contains only information about objects’ modality6 and some relationsbetween them. No specification is suggested to address the didactic role that multimedia objectplays in describing knowledge or how big is the contribution of the multimedia object to thegeneral understanding of the knowledge concept – the so-called level of detail2. Multimediaobjects currently are used passively to

Taking intoaccount all these technical elements and their interfaces, interactions and interdependencies inthe design of an aircraft is a major challenge. The challenge is intensified when one realizes thatmodern aircraft have lifecycles measured in many decades. To cite just two examples from theAppendix, the DC-9 family of aircraft will have been in service with major airlines for 45 yearsand the B-52H with the U.S. Air Force for at least 75 years when they are finally phased out.a Usage of the word “system” or “systems” varies within the field.

The trendline in Figure 2 showsthat the average scores slightly decreased during the course. Table 2 shows how quiz-takingstudents performed both with and without the quiz option. The quiz option had a relatively smallbenefit for students (1.19%); approximately one third of the quiz-taking students had highercourse point totals when their course totals were calculated as a non-quiz option
circuitboard. Therefore, the course grade of a student had direct correlation with his/her overalllearning of the course material. Average course grade for all 21 students was ‘B+’ and two out of three students who tookthe course at ALC received a grade of ‘B’ and one received an A in this course. An averagegrade of third project (fabrication, tests, and functionality) for all 21 students was ‘B+’, and twoout of three students at ALC received a grade of ‘B’ and one student received an ‘A’. Therefore,it can be inferred that the students at the remote location (taught under Synchronous DistanceDelivery) learned the course topics similar to students in the live classroom and were able toapply the gained knowledge to design and fabricate functional
construction equipment.Following the pre-test, students were given a 30-minute opportunity to operator the wheel loadersimulator for both stockpiling materials and truck loading operations. The material stockpilingsimulation required each participant to operate the wheel loader to: a. excavate material from a rock stockpile, b. execute a three point turn by reversing from the stockpile while articulating and then proceed to the dumping zone while articulating in the opposite direction, c. dump the material into the dumping zone, d. reverse from the dumping zone, and e. stop the wheel loader and activate the hornThe operator’s view from the simulated equipment cab during the stockpiling operation is shownin Figure 3
