instructor(s) should complete the same survey form, indicating his/her opinion of the extent to which each course outcome has been achieved by the students, and enter the data in Column Q. If different sections of the same course were taught concurrently by two or more faculty, either their individual responses to the survey form could be averaged and transferred to the spreadsheet, or each instructor’s class could be assessed separately.

As the manager of such a facility, what could you do to insure that the freezer workers took their required breaks?One of the challenges with the discussion topics was developing a grading system that was fairand meaningful. The grading system developed for discussion board participation seeks toreward both the quality and quantity of a student’s input. In this context, the following formulais used to assign a grade for each week’s discussion topic. ∑Q 1 Grade = f × 100

for all engineering majors. The second project will be developing a model forestimating the time necessary to cool a can of beer in a refrigerator. The project will connectmaterial to future work on heat transfer. The final project will be to model a spring-mass system.Spring-mass systems appear in many different contexts, e.g., earthquake-resistant buildings andautomobile suspension systems and should appeal to Track A students and faculty members.Assessment plans include the collection, analysis and reporting of first-to-second semesterretention. Other elements of the assessment plan include: • Analysis of progression within the engineering program in relation to Q drops for first semester students of STEP and non-STEP classes

adultsIn this experiment, the objective was to have subjects conduct four basic strength specificmovements in an effort to increase strength over a specified period of time. Uponcompletion of the testing regimen, the results were analyzed and compared to pre-teststrength data for each subject. Testing was done in reference to the American CollegeSports Medicine’s Guidelines4 and to the guidelines of The Perfect Start: Assessmentmanual5. In addition, each subject was required to complete and sign a Physical ActivityReadiness Questionnaire4,7 (“PAR-Q & You”) which accessed the subject’s generalhealth level prior to testing.The goal of the experiment was to asses whether doing a set of strength specificmovements three times a week for three weeks

analyses. Thecommon continuity equation (Q=AV) follows directly from the Reynolds transporttheorem and is perhaps the most often used conservation relation at the macroscopiclevel. Our emphasis here is concerned with energy and mass (as a carrier of energy).System definition is fundamental to a rigorous study of the thermodynamics of nonlivingand living bodies. Living systems frequently include a portion of the environment aroundthe living entities. Creative definition of the system can greatly affect the ease ordifficulty of solving a problem of interest. Failure to define clearly the system andboundary properties leads to an imprecise and improper discussion of systems, whichexplains many difficulties in thermodynamic problem solving.B. What is

, exercisemachines, and camera shutter mechanisms are based on an appropriately designed fourbar linkage. It was left to participants as a matter of discovery that for the crank of thefour-bar mechanism to rotate 360 degrees it is necessary to satisfy Grashof condition(S+L < P+ Q; the sum of the shortest and longest link must be less than the sum of theother two links). Teachers could easily design the lengths of each of the links on paperusing appropriate geometrical construction for desired rocking angle of 45 degree. A fewiterations were necessary to ensure that the lengths obtained do indeed satisfy the Grashofcondition. Pieces of cardboard and thumbtacks were used to put together a workingmechanism.

Some of the presentationshave been videotaped and edited and posted on the website at mos.org/nano.58More recently, the Museum added live cablecasting capability to the CS&T stage, and byarrangement with New England Cable News, provides a weekly “SciTech in the News” programwhich frequently focuses on nanoscale research
