Training Partnerships Pay Off in Skills and Jobs
Companies, job seekers, and federal and local governments are hoping that training programs can help develop the workforce with the skills necessary for today’s jobs. Central Iowa Works (CIW) is a partnership between employers and workers, public and private funding, and relevant community partners. The purpose of CIW is to close the skills gap from both the employer’s and the job seeker’s perspective. For employers, CIW helps them to recruit and hire qualified workers for jobs in central Iowa. Job seekers get trained and hired for real jobs with opportunities for career advancement. CIW works in partnerships with energy and financial services companies to provide apprenticeship programs. After participating in classroom training and paid work experiences that are part of the apprenticeship programs (sometimes called “earn as you learn”), employees have the skills they need for page 457entry-level jobs. Companies benefit by finding better trained employees who are likely to be motivated and reducing turnover.
Techtonic Group, an IT firm in Boulder, Colorado, struggled to fill software development positions because of the lack of individuals with the available skills. Techtonic relied on offshoring app development work to Armenia but found that time zone and language differences and rising salaries made continuing these arrangements difficult and costly. Techtonic saw this as an opportunity to try and build a pipeline of local diverse talent. Techtonic Group created Techtonic Academy to give women, veterans, high school and college dropouts, and at-risk youth who have been historically excluded from technology careers the opportunity to develop skills needed for software development jobs. The company works with Denver and Boulder county workforce agencies to identify applicants. There are over 400 applicants for 15 openings in the program, which runs several times each year. Applicants have to successfully demonstrate that they have the ability to understand fundamental basic software concepts. For applicants who have no software experience, the company offers three online courses prior to their technical screening to help them be ...

Hybrid optimization of pumped hydro system and solar- Engr. Abdul-Azeez.pdffxintegritypublishin
Advancements in technology unveil a myriad of electrical and electronic breakthroughs geared towards efficiently harnessing limited resources to meet human energy demands. The optimization of hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems plays a pivotal role in utilizing natural resources effectively. This initiative not only benefits humanity but also fosters environmental sustainability. The study investigated the design optimization of these hybrid systems, focusing on understanding solar radiation patterns, identifying geographical influences on solar radiation, formulating a mathematical model for system optimization, and determining the optimal configuration of PV panels and pumped hydro storage. Through a comparative analysis approach and eight weeks of data collection, the study addressed key research questions related to solar radiation patterns and optimal system design. The findings highlighted regions with heightened solar radiation levels, showcasing substantial potential for power generation and emphasizing the system's efficiency. Optimizing system design significantly boosted power generation, promoted renewable energy utilization, and enhanced energy storage capacity. The study underscored the benefits of optimizing hybrid solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems for sustainable energy usage. Optimizing the design of solar PV panels and pumped hydro energy supply systems as examined across diverse climatic conditions in a developing country, not only enhances power generation but also improves the integration of renewable energy sources and boosts energy storage capacities, particularly beneficial for less economically prosperous regions. Additionally, the study provides valuable insights for advancing energy research in economically viable areas. Recommendations included conducting site-specific assessments, utilizing advanced modeling tools, implementing regular maintenance protocols, and enhancing communication among system components.
Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

TECTRONIC´s History
Tectronic is a team created by teachers and students on October 2010 at
Prepa Tec Celaya, GJ, Mexico; it emerged after Team 3354 “TecDroid” because
the Alma Mater is the same (Tecnológico de Monterrey). Tectronic´s Rookie
season was at the Colorado Regional in Denver where the team won the Rookie
Inspiration Award due to the amount of effort, different sponsors gotten and a
remarkable robot and attitude on the LOGOMOTION challenge in 2011.
Tectronic offers services to enterprises such as:
Business by printing the company logo on all promotional items.
Giving receipts which are taxes deductible.
Since transactions are made with high amounts of money, a daily record of
incomes needs to be made; this is why Tectronic runs as a small business that
has its own mission, vision, and values.
Following the regular season. Tectronic optimizes all the time previous to
the Kickoff in order to achieve fundraising and become a self-sustainable team.
Since Tectronic is a Mexican team, travel expenses need to be considered.
Taking that into account, there is a philosophy of hard-work which provides an
essence and recognition
As it was said before, on 2010 Tectronic participated in Colorado Regional,
which meant the formal foundation of the team and the recognition of some FRC
fellows; on 2010, the team accomplished to win the Rookie Inspiration Award.
During the previous arrangements, the team faced some administration obstacles
since it was founded when there were only six teams in Mexico; at that point
Tectronic faced rough stages between the integration of everyone as a team
and the duties management.
9. Team 3510 Business Plan 2014-2015

Consequently, the team suffered financially that year, where a
sponsorship for the trip went bad a month before the regional; that circumstances
led the team to look approximately 60% of the funds in a very short amount of
time.Even though it was really precipitated, the team knew how to improve its
situation and made fundraising events such as classic music concerts and sales.
Tectronic´s attitude was something that impressed the judges back in Colorado
regional; the same thing happened three years ago, even though there were
some problems with the robot, the team never lose hope and won the “Team
Spirit Award”.
However, the team is preparing since last year with the fundraising and team
integration; it is very important to learn from mistakes and not repeat them again.
This year, the team assembled a robot, each of the integrants of Tectronic
contributed some help to built it and our target is to win the Mexico`s city regional,
as well as the quest for awards like Engineering Award, Team Spirit Award and
all the other awards that can be given during the competition.

Founding Organization
FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Sciene and Techonology) is an
organization founded by inventor and entrepreneur, Dean Kamen, in 1989 to
develop ways to inspire students in engineering and technology fields. The
organization is the foundation of the following robotics program:
Junior FIRST LEGO League
FIRST LEGO league
FIRST TECH Challenge
FIRST Robotics Competition
FIRST was founded as a not-for-profit public organization with charity
designs accessible, and innovative programs that motivate young people to
pursue education and career opportunities in:
Science
Technology
Engineering
Math
All of these while building self-confidence, knowledge, and life skills,

GRACIOUS PROFESSIONALISM and COOPERTITION
11. Team 3510 Business Plan 2014-2015
11
FIRST seeks to promote a philosophy of teamwork and collaboration among
engineers and encourages competing teams to remain friendly, helping each other
out when necessary. Terms frequently applied to this ethos are “Gracious
Professionalism” and “Cooperation” terms coined by Woodie Flowers and Kamen
that support respect towards one´s competitors and integrity in one´s actions. The
concept of Gracious Professionalism grew from a robotics class that Flowers taught
at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Coopertition is a Word patented under
US Patent 7,507,169 by Dean Kamen.
The first and highest scale program developed through FIRST is the FIRST
Robotics Competition (FRC), which is designed to inspire High School Students to
become engineers by giving them real world experiences working with engineers to
develop a robot.
FIRST ROBOTICS COMPETITION (FRC)
FIRST Robotics Competition is an international high school robotics
competition organized by FIRST. Each year, teams of high school students
compete to build robots weighing up to 120 pounds (54 kg ), not including battery
and bumpers. These robots are supposed to complete task, which changes every
year, in order to compete in a healthy and sportive way.
Since 2005, games have been played with two opposing “alliances”, each
one composed of three teams. Three years ago, the organization had around 1808
FRC teams with over 45000 students from all over the world: United States,
Canada, Mexico, Israel, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and so on. In 2011,
2075 teams were registered in the competition.
The dynamic of the competition goes like this: teams are given a standard
set of parts. A maximum Budget is allowed and to buy or create specialized parts,
as long as they conform to FIRST Safety Rules. The challenge and game details
are revealed at the first week of every year at an event called KICK-OFF. Teams
are given only six weeks to construct a competitive robot that can operate

autonomously as well a when guided by wireless controls in order to accomplish
the game’s tasks.

Community Involvement
In order to be a self-sustainable project, TECTRONIC involves with the
community so that the people know more about FIRST and also as a way to raise
funds; which is the approach that the team has for the community, providing
services, following ethical codes, and being proactive as a Student Group.
For Team 3510, the contact with its surroundings represents a key to the
team's success as well as community's success. Which is why, TECTRONIC, is in
contact with its fellow classmates at school facilities, in order to provide the alumni
with different products, which consequently will be for the team to leave
impressions, besides the extension of the contact information, the extension of a
helping hand willing to help. Among these sales, every semester the team had
authorized two trades, where it had variety of merchandises, such as desserts,
“gorditas” (a typical meal from our region and country), and many other meals.
These sales are gathered with the sales as a student group, Valentine’s
days, every year’s Jr. High school’s tournament (which sponsored by our insititute)
as well as the organization of external events.
As the dynamics for integration and the development of the project, Team
3510, Tectronic, organized diverse events such as parents meetings, etc.
2011: The team had parents meetings for the discussion of the project in
order for them to know every aspect and to get involved with the work of their
children. This meetings were done before the robot build season. Likewise, the
Team received an invitation from the President of Mexico (Felipe Calderón), in
order to receive a recognition regarding the obtaining of the Rookie All-Star
Award.

Besides, within the very start of the following semester, Team 3510, was
formally a Student Group, which elaborated a strategic plan for the whole next
season and organized a parents meeting for involving the new members to the
project. Furthermore, the Team established a dynamic of team meetings every
week, in order to have constant communication with all the new collaborators; this
policy remains to date.
2012: For this year’s season, Tea, 3510 remained with the week gatherings
as well as an integration camp, coordinated by GAM (Grupo Aguilas Méxcio) to
improve group managment and teamwork activities for integration. After this event,
Team 3510 had a pre-regional meeting with the parents, where the points of the
goals reached, amount of funds and sponsors, conditions for the trip, etc.
2013: Afterwards, within the next semester and after the 2012 season, Team
3510 prepared a small reunión for all the team members, where all could get to
know each other by party integration games. Also, reunions with parents were held
in order to expose FIRST, the conditions for the trip and the participation of planned
for little children, before they can know about Robotics they should know the first
basis about computers.
2014: In this year’s season, Tectronic realized, along the semester, a series
of workshops where members of the team were able to get to know more about
mecanincs, electrics, etc. and at the same time were able to spend time with their
partners. As in the other years,

Team Goals
“A goal is a desired result a person or a system envisions, plans and commits
to achieve, which are meant to endeavour to be reached within a finite time by
setting deadlines”. Goal-setting is most forwarded to establish objectives
previously evaluated according to their achievability, time scheduling, how it is
going to be measured and demonstrated, as many other important things on a
major scale process.
Tectronic´s Mission as a group of teachers and students from the Tecnológico
de Monterrey Prepa Celaya is to be an inspiring association moved by the passion
for challenges, robots, engineering, programing, businesses, design, strategic
planning and the solution of pre-established dares or tasks.
For Team 3510, the goal-setting process represents a very important step on
the way to the regionals. The team prepares an exhaustive analysis and
chronogram for every area’s short-term goals, as well as the percentage
comparison between the reached and the pending in order to gather a journal on
everybody’s participation and their opportunity areas.
By the time of March 2015 Tectronic would have participated in Mexico city
Regional of FIRST Robotics Competition, where an award will be achieved to bring
home and interpersonal relations will be created. Also, one of the team’s goal is to
go to honour and wave proud the Mexican flag and the name of the School,
hometown, and state and of course, Mexico.
The purpose remains in the heart of the team; which will lead it to succeed.
The main points of focus are forwarded to the assembly of a competitive robot with
an entrepreneur mini-enterprise behind it with a remarkable business plan
proposal. As it was previously mentioned, Team 3510 is very persistent with
sponsors and fundraisings because every team member who has the real interest
on hard working and team support is the one who works for his place into them.

Each year there are generations of very valuable members who graduate from
High School to chase after their life plans. This circumstance represents a big
challenge for the team due to the integration of the new members and the
departure of such hard working people. We aim to build a competitive robot, even
though sometimes it passes our capacities, we are very enthusiastic.
Consequently, another objective is to make cooperative alliances based on our
high-standard robot which has been built step by step, every day, despite team´s
limits, always looking forward to help when needed and to look for assessment
when needed as well. We’re not afraid to learn. For April 2015 Tecronic’s members
would have developed different abilities in each of the offered areas, developing
on essential and multidisciplinary ways.

STUDENT APPLICATION TO THE TEAM
“TECTRONIC Team 3510” does not reject a member willing to be part of the
team, since this (FIRST) is something that we love and try to everyone in our high
school to know much better. Even though we never say not to people wanting to
be part of the team, each member needs to be commited and of course, dedícate
time to team’s tasks.
Every team member needs to respect each one of the other team members,
since we work as a little family. Besides respecting other team members, there
needs to be respect for mentors, sponsors and parents. If a person does not have
any respect for the others, he or she will be asked to leave the team or to change
the attitude, since this is not good for the mission of wanting a healthy team
environment.
People wanting to be part of the team need to talk to the Chairman and the
team’s Head Coach, after this, the team will ask to the person which área is the
best suited for he or she, as well as the expectations and commitments to make
teamwork greater.

Sponsor Relations
Throughout the season, all members of the Logistic Area are responsible
for obtaining sponsorship and raise the necessary funds to support the team. At
the beginning of each season, team members are trained to be able to make a
successful presentation. Obtaining sponsorship and fundraising depends on
certain things.
Present the project in the best way possible
Impress the sponsors
Keep sponsors updated
Be thankful
Have an excellent organization and attitude
Communication between all team members
Manage time well
The team has made letter formats so as to ask for an appointment to an
enterprise. Once the meeting is arranged, around 4 team members attend to each
engagement with the potential sponsor; a Power-Point Presentation is presented
to the sponsor in an estimated time of 25 minutes. The presentation needs to be
extremely productive; the slides show the mission, vision, FIRST’s history, team’s
history, budget, community involvement and the dynamic of the competition.
The sponsor-team relationships very important because thanks to them
TECTRONIC can achieve many things. It’s necessary to keep all of the sponsors
updated in order for them to know the advantage of their support (and also as a
way to say thanks). After a sponsorship is achieved, the sponsor is recognized in
an especial way by placing its logos on the robot, team uniform and promotional
ítems. The recognition of the sponsors is described at the following table:
