Project Rubric Project Overview This project was designed and developed in the Wearable Electronics Laboratory of the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Houston’s Cullen College of Engineering. The purpose is to apply in a state-of-the-art research problem, the concepts learned in an AP Statistics course: to verify if the fabrication process affects significantly an original circuit’s dimensions defined during the design process. A basic knowledge of GeoGebra geometry software and Microsoft® Excel® is required. GeoGebra is used to make measurement on nano-circuit images, and Excel is used for graphing and statistical results analysis. Project Guidelines Because of the project workload, it will be accomplished by teams of three students each. Students work on two nano-circuit picture sets: circuit original masks (designs) and fabricated printed circuits. Students select samples from these pictures and open them with GeoGebra to perform measurements on the circuit elements using a special interface designed specifically for this. Students may work with paired samples or independent samples. The collected measurements are exported to Excel®, and using its graphical and mathematical capabilities, the data is graphed, compared and statistically analyzed. Students create a PowerPoint® slide show or a video (mp4, wma, mpeg) to present project results. Teams present to the rest of the class their results, analyses and conclusions. Help is available for the math and final presentation preparation, during afterschool tutorial time. All the project activities are part of the final grade. If two or all three team members justifiably miss any of these activities, arrange with the instructor for a makeup session before the project deadline. Project Checklist
