Read MoreThe Graded Multidisciplinary Model: Fostering Instructional Design for Activity Development in STEM/STEAM Education
In a challenging and increasingly technological world, it is important to promote critical thinking, multidisciplinary problem solving, and collaboration through STEAM education; however, there are important economic, administrative, and especially pedagogical manage- ment limitations for its implementation at the secondary level. Therefore, this paper presents systematic recommendations for an effective and sustainable implementation of STEAM…
Read MoreModeling Control Agents in Social Media Networks Using Reinforcement Learning
Designing efficient control strategies for opinion dynamics is a challenging task. Understanding how individuals change their opinions in social networks is essential to countering malicious actors and fake news and mitigating their effect on the network. In many applications such as marketing design, product launches, etc., corporations often post curated news or feeds on social…
Read MoreResonance Coil Design for a Novel Battery Cell Balancing with using Near-Field Coupling
In this paper, we delve into the pressing necessity for proficient battery cell balancing, an imperative in the context of the escalating adoption of renewable energy and electric vehicles. While traditional methodologies, including the passive technique, offer a straightforward and cost-effective solution, they compromise on efficiency. The active technique, though superior in efficiency, is hindered…
Read MoreDesign and Prototyping of a 3DOF Worm-drive Robot Arm
Many designs for robot arms exist. Here we present an affordable revolute arm, capable of executing simple pick-and-place tasks. The arm employs a double parallelogram structure, which ensures its endpoint angle in the plane of the upper arm remains fixed without the need for additional actuation. Its limbs are fabricated from circular tubes made from…
