Anexample use case is given in the bottom. Students will use the program for selecting the appropriate topology fordifferent irradiance conditions. All the exercises and learning modules are used in our DSP class. Portions of the training moduleshave also been used in our REU site program (Fig. 14) to train undergraduate students in sensors andmachine learning. We also plan use of our modules in an upcoming international research experiencesprogram at the University of Cyprus. Fig. 14. REU students and faculty at the SenSIP solar site.

Itallows the participants conceptions of engineers to be coded into the following categories:  Designer: Designing or improving objects or processes, usually portrayed by drawing plans or performing specific parts of the engineering design process, an implied client or public use is intended  Technician: Computer or electronic technician portrayed by a person fixing something electronic  Design/Create single: Hobbies, crafts, and designs for personal use or making one object for a specific person  Tradesman: Carpenters, plumbers, welders, etc. where a person is fixing

These “energy bumps” become less severe as thesemester progresses and especially in subsequent years, but the additional upfront effort coulddiscourage some young faculty from implementing the new model. These concerns are partially,though not completely, alleviated by the new course structure proposed in the previousparagraph.Some tips for ease of implementation: 1. Plan ahead. The number one tip is to strategize and prepare in advance as much as possible. From choosing the software one feels more comfortable with to design the exams with, to having handouts prepared in advance (during previous semester or over the summer), to having

This escalating use of transportation infrastructure; coupled with financial constraints,has forced transportation agencies to shift more attention on the preservation and maintenance ofexisting infrastructure (i.e., pavements) rather than the construction of new highways [1]. Forexample, the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) invested $91 billion in 2013for the purpose of pavement maintenance to restore the road network to a satisfactory,operational condition [2].

We also discovered that plagiarism cases were mostly among students withno prior experience, suggesting that plagiarizing could be as much a last-ditch attempt to salvagea lost situation, rather than a devious plan to break rules. This is not to suggest that we should scale back efforts to detect plagiarism or reportindividuals who commit it. However, we should also be understanding of what the underlyingissues might be.
