City Year: Year 1 Evaluation Report, 2013-2014

City Year is an education-focused nonprofit organization that partners with high needs public schools to enhance the quality of the learning environment in the areas of attendance, behavior, and course performance. This is achieved by deploying teams of City Year corps members to the schools. The expectation is that students who receive support from City Year corps members in the areas of English, math, attendance, and behavior will show growth in their academic and behavioral outcomes. With funding from the William Penn Foundation, City Year is being implemented in 11 high needs public schools within The School District of Philadelphia (SDP or District); targeted support is provided to at-risk students in grades 6 to 9. The Office of Research and Evaluation (ORE) is currently evaluating City Year's effectiveness in meeting the above goals for the 2013-2014 school year (SY) – Year 1— and extending into the 2014-2015 SY – Year 2

Model-Based Design Approach to Predict Performance of BAS/Electric Motor for OSU EcoCAR 3 Vehicle

Engineering and ArchitectureIn today’s society, there is growing concern over the state of the global climate and the impact that we have on it. Scientists and engineers are seeking ways to meet energy demands and emissions regulations around the world by creating more sustainable and energy efficient technologies. In the automotive industry, this can be evidenced by the advent of hybrid electric vehicles. The Ohio State University EcoCAR 3 team based at the Center for Automotive Research is converting a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro into a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle with the end goal of improving fuel consumption and emissions whilst maintaining the performance aspects of the vehicle. The main focus of this research was to model, predict, and improve the performance of the belted alternator/starter (BAS) and electric motors in the vehicle. Research began with gaining exposure to the full vehicle model as well as the component models in the team-developed simulator using MATLAB and Simulink. A higher fidelity model of the BAS was developed based on dynamic equations of the electric machine. Due to inverter calibration constraints, the BAS could not be physically tested during the time of this internship. Nonetheless, testing was done on the traction motor, which can be used to validate already existent models of the component. The vehicle was placed on a chassis dynamometer and run through multiple drive cycles. Data from this testing was logged, analyzed, and compared to results from the simulation. This type of analysis of data such as requested/actual torque, motor speed, temperature, etcetera, can be used to calibrate/validate different aspects of the vehicle and component models. As a result of this research, the vehicle model will be able to run more accurate simulations and increase component and vehicle performance, which will help the team perform well in the EcoCAR 3 competition.OSU College of Engineering Summer Undergraduate Research ProgramAcademic Major: Mechanical Engineerin

Investigation of the D and E regions of the ionosphere

Details of an experimental program that investigates the ionosphere using sounding rockets are presented. The investigation is part of a continuing program to gather data on the D and E regions of the ionosphere during periods of recurring natural phenomena that influence these regions. To achieve these ends, four vehicles were launched during the eclipse of the sun on March 7, 1970. Other vehicles totalling 10 in all were launched to investigate transient phenomena such as the sporadic E layer

SWOSU Fact Book 2010

I am proud to introduce the 19th annual Southwestern Oklahoma State University Fact Book. The Fact Book provides a ready source of information to answer frequently asked questions about the University and its operations. Unless otherwise noted, the information in this Fact Book came from computer-generated reports that are printed following the tenth class day of each fall semester. Because of student fluctuations during the semester, numbers will not match other published enrollment numbers that may be based on enrollment at the end of a semester

SWOSU Fact Book Fall 1996

I am proud to introduce the fifth annual Southwestern Oklahoma State University Fact Book. Last year\u27s publication was met with positive review, and I intend to continue this historical record of data. It provides a ready source of information to answer frequently asked questions about the University and its operations

SWOSU Fact Book Fall 1993

I am pleased to introduce the second annual Southwestern Oklahoma State University Fact Book. Last year\u27s publication was met with positive review, and I intend to continue this historical record of data. It provides a ready source of information to answer frequently asked questions about the University and its operations
