, measuring the gain (Table 2) from pre- to post-test is avaluable instrument for accessing the level of learning in the treatment.3. Outcomes testing is a good way to determine where a particular course fits into the overallcurriculum or degree plan. Based on the results of this outcomes survey (Figure 24), it appearsthat the VaNTH Biomechanics modules can contribute to the following ME outcomes: PO #2 – Ability to solve open-ended problems; PO #4 - Ability to setup, conduct and interpret experiments and to present the results in a professional manner; PO #5 - Ability to use modern computer tools in mechanical engineering; and PO #6 - Ability to communicate in written

and amongthe teams occurs in cohorts composed of three or four teams. For example, for spring2004, eight sets of 90-minute cohort meetings are scheduled at approximately two-weekintervals. (Each set is actually six meetings as the 87 students in the class are dividedinto 22 teams, and the teams assigned to one of six cohorts.) Project planning andcommunication issues (as well as many other “professional” issues) are discussed withthe current projects used as examples or case studies. The teams with projects involvingsimilar technology are grouped in the same cohorts. Teams make informal presentationsand present samples of their work at each cohort meeting. The teams are encouraged towork together as appropriate. There are four rounds of oral

taking into account that the gas mixture iscalorically imperfect. First the static pressure as a function of distance on the nozzlecenterline, p(x), is measured. For the known nozzles geometries, the steady flow assumedto be one-dimensional. Measurement devices are calibrated by using Argon or Nitrogenalone for the supply condition range planned for condensation experiments. From themeasured pressure distribution, an effective area ratio as a function of distance, A = f ( x) (61) A∗could be derived by the usual gas dynamic relations since argon or nitrogen are thermallyand calorically behave as
