Education and Training

Adult bicycle education classes are becoming an increasingly popular strategy to improve safety, mitigate congestion, and reach environmental goals. However, there is limited empirical research on the effectiveness of these classes among adults, and there are no studies evaluating the impacts of classroom-based education on this population. To address this gap in knowledge, a study was conducted evaluating the effectiveness of classroom-based adult bicycle education on delivering changes related to bicycling activity, self-perceptions while bicycling, knowledge of the bicycling rules of...

Recent years has seen a widespread interest in the use of Unmanned aircraft vehicles for military applications. These UAV's can be used in many applications such as surveillance, information gathering, suppression of enemy defenses, air to air combat, mapping buildings and facilities etc. In this paper, we present an architecture with the necessary algorithms that we have implemented to control a team of UAVs to search for targets such as SAMs, ground troops, artillery, tanks etc in a given region.

Problem‐based learning emphasizes the role of problem solving as the main driver of instruction, thus critically relying on the quality of problem collections, which should exercise especially those aspects students find difficult to master. In areas in which extensive and tested problem collections are not available, it is useful to analyze the mistakes of students in previous year’s assignments as a source of evidence for the design of new problems or tutorial resources. This paper reports preliminary results of that approach as applied to heuristic usability evaluation in the context of...
