This book provides an overview of the building industry, the projects performed within the industry, and methods to plan and manage the delivery of a construction project. This book closely aligns with the topics and learning objectives of the AE 372 class at Penn State. The book is a resource for the class that does not carry the cost of a typical textbook, and even better, it is free. The content will continue to grow and mature. Please share any errors or suggestions for improvement. Instead of purchasing a textbook, I hope that all students will be able to use your funds to support learning experiences, for example, field trips to see construction projects or other educational experiences. And most important, please ensure that you have the proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to be safe when visiting and working on construction sites.

This textbook -- written by a group of select experts with a focus on different aspects of the design process, from creation to production -- addresses the many steps of creating and then producing physical, printed, or other imaged products that people interact with on a daily basis. It covers the concept that, while most modern graphic design is created on computers using design software, the ideas and concepts don’t stay on the computer. The ideas need to be completed in the computer software, then progress to an imaging (traditionally referred to as printing) process. Keywords are highlighted throughout and summarized in a Glossary at the end of the book, and each chapter includes exercises and suggested readings.

Goal: To create a succinct yet thorough guide to the art and science of prompt engineering (a.k.a. prompt design, prompt crafting, prompt creation) to elicit the most relevant, effective and accurate outputs. This guide shares evidence-based tips and tricks to optimize responses from Natural Language Processing (NLP) Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) performs best when prompted by a skilled communicator who understands how to structure and apply specific techniques for various purposes and use cases in order to generate the desired output.
Overview: This prompt engineering guide compiles material from online prompt engineering courses, YouTube videos, journal articles, and conversation threads with GenAI chatbots. All the material covered in this guide will help you understand the basic prompt engineering tips and tricks you can use to optimize interactions with artificial intelligence generators. Sample prompts and examples related to the humanities are interspersed throughout to illustrate best practices/techniques. However, you can easily adapt this guide to any field.
About this Guide: ChatGPT's mainstream debut in November 2022 sparked a seismic shift in education. Suddenly, educators faced a new challenge: how to teach and assess students in a world where AI could generate convincing text at the touch of a button. Recognizing this pivotal moment, a team at Collin College, supported by a Perkins Leadership Grant, sprang into action. Our mission? To harness the power of Generative AI (GenAI) for education. We assembled a diverse team of experts - from subject matter experts and librarians to accessibility gurus and administrative leaders. Together, we crafted this comprehensive GenAI guide, designed to empower both students and educators with the skills for responsible human-AI collaboration. Our journey didn't stop there. We partnered with Texas State Technical College to pilot the guide in their welding program, bringing AI literacy to a hands-on field. Now, we're excited to share this resource widely, gather your feedback, and measure its real-world impact on teaching and learning.

This course introduces students to both passive and active electronic components (op-amps, 555 timers, TTL digital circuits). Basic analog and digital circuits and theory of operation are covered. The labs allow the students to master the use of electronic instruments and construct and/or solder several circuits. The labs also reinforce the concepts discussed in class with a hands-on approach and allow the students to gain significant experience with electrical instruments such as function generators, digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers and power supplies. In the last lab, the students build an electronic circuit that they can keep. The course is geared to freshmen and others who want an introduction to electronics circuits. This course is offered during the Independent Activities Period (IAP), which is a special 4-week term at MIT that runs from the first week of January until the end of the month.
