Active Load Stabilization On Stair Climbing Vehicle Vectr Senior Design Team 2021, Joseph Johnson May 2021

Active Load Stabilization On Stair Climbing Vehicle Vectr Senior Design Team 2021, Joseph Johnson

2021 Spring Honors Capstone Projects - Archive

The VECTR Stair Climbing Robot team has designed a product to take loads up a stairway in a safe manner. This device carries the load in a basket. The basket’s rotation is impeded by a set of parallel rotational dampers. This setup is sufficient to retard the oscillation of the load about its point of equilibrium, but is passive and slow to respond. As such, a system was designed to actively control the load orientation. This system will use a sensor to measure change in angle and adjust the load to keep it stable. This system provided a tangible decrease …


Extended Kalman Filter Implementation On A Load-Carrying, Stair-Climbing Robot, Heather Pavlik May 2021

Extended Kalman Filter Implementation On A Load-Carrying, Stair-Climbing Robot, Heather Pavlik

2021 Spring Honors Capstone Projects - Archive

For a load-carrying, stair-climbing robot, it is critical that the robot moves accurately for the safety and well-being of the users and observers nearby. Most systems in the world are nonlinear, including the dynamics of the robot, so having the ability to represent nonlinear systems with linear approximations is an important part of engineering. An extended Kalman filter can perform linear approximations, so it will be used to linearize the robot’s position in space, as sensed by sonar sensors that are on the robot. The extended Kalman filter will be designed to filter out noise on a set of test …


Who Participates In The Skilled Technical Workforce After College And What Are Their Educational Pathways?, Xianglei Chen May 2021

Who Participates In The Skilled Technical Workforce After College And What Are Their Educational Pathways?, Xianglei Chen

Journal of Research in Technical Careers

The skilled technical workforce (STW) comprises workers in occupations that require significant science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) skills but not a bachelor’s degree for entry. The United States had over 17 million STW workers in 2017, and is expected to be short about 3.4 million workers who are qualified for the available STW positions by 2022. Despite the important contribution of the STW to the U.S. economy, the policy discourse on the STEM workforce has largely focused on workers with bachelor’s or graduate degrees, overlooking those without a 4-year degree. Consequently, knowledge about the STW is limited. This paper …


Algorithms For Algorithms: Teaching Problem-Solving In Computer Science, James Riswick-Estelle May 2021

Algorithms For Algorithms: Teaching Problem-Solving In Computer Science, James Riswick-Estelle

Theses and Dissertations

Increased demand from society for computer scientists and software engineers has placed considerable stress on university-based computer science and engineering programs. Given technology's central role in society, the education of those developing and maintaining that technology is critical. Behavior-based teaching methods may assist in addressing increased demand on universities and improve the quality of education they provide. The present study included two experiments of non-concurrent multiple baseline design. The experiments included 29 total participants to evaluate different algorithm-writing teaching methods at the undergraduate level. Algorithms describe a problem's key features and outline the step-by-step process required for solving that particular …


Student Perceptions Of The Online Introductory Biology Laboratory Curriculum Using A Framework Of Vision And Change And Its Core Competencies, Erin Ulrich Apr 2021

Student Perceptions Of The Online Introductory Biology Laboratory Curriculum Using A Framework Of Vision And Change And Its Core Competencies, Erin Ulrich

Masters Theses/Capstone Projects

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, an Introductory Biology course at a private university was reformatted to an online format. To examine student perceptions of the effectiveness of the laboratory portion of the course, a researcher designed questions based on the Vision and Change core competencies and presented them to a representative sample of students in virtual interviews. The themes which emerged from the student responses were that students had positive views of their comfort level with the scientific method, the virtual laboratory synchronous format, worksheet activities, breakout rooms, and lessons with social relevance to college-aged students.

Addressing common student questions in introductory STEM courses early in the term is one way that instructors can ensure that their students have all been presented with information about how to succeed in their courses. However, categorizing student questions and identifying evidence-based resources to address student questions takes time, and instructors may not be able to easily collect and respond to student questions at the beginning of every course. To help faculty effectively anticipate and respond to student questions, we 1) administered surveys in multiple STEM courses to identify common student questions, 2) conducted a qualitative analysis to determine categories …
