efficient heat transfer. The rate of heat transfer is proportional to the exposed surfacearea (q=hAΔT), and skin contains a microcapillary network that substantially increasesthe exposed surface area for enhanced heat transfer. In this hands-on laboratory activity,students create artificial skin by encapsulating cotton candy in an elastomer. The cottoncandy is then dissolved away, leaving a networked path mimicking a microcapillarynetwork in skin.3.2 MaterialsThe following materials are required for this activity: a cotton candy machine (e.g. aNostalgia Electrics Cotton Candy maker, ~$50) modified with a rotational potentiometerplaced in series with the heating and rotational elements to vary the output temperatureand speeds; Jolly RanchersTM

While itis true that rote practice is still essential in mathematics, the developers stress that evenimplementing parts of an EFFECT are an excellent way to engage students and start thedevelopment process of creating entire units of study designed around the EFFECT framework.References[1] EFFECTs Web page: http://sdii.ce.sc.edu/effects/?q=node/14[2] Mason, Gregory S.; Shuman, Teodora Rutar; Cook, Kathleen E. “Comparing the Effectiveness of an InvertedClassroom to a Traditional Classroom in an Upper-Division Engineering Course” IEEE TRANSACTIONS ONEDUCATION 56 (4), 430-435, 2013.[3] Latterell

These graphs are then tied to the SolidWorks simulation results as shown in Figs.2 and 4.Introducing Lagrange’s EquationsIn addition to these standard difficulties, the authors have added the challenge of teach partialderivatives by teaching the equations of motion via Lagrange’s equations.5 Lagrange’s equations,particularly for conservative mechanical systems, are relatively easy to implement for sophomoredynamics students. The equation has the form d ∂T ∂T ∂V − + = 0, (1) dt ∂ q˙j ∂qj ∂qjwhere T is the kinetic energy of the system, V is the potential
and Braun (2010) observed that many dyslexicstudents innately approach problems from a three-dimensional perspective2. So when a dyslexicstudent is presented with an unfamiliar object, he may have a natural ability and predisposition toexamine the object from various angles and perspectives in his mind, without ever movinghimself or the object. The ability to reason three-dimensionally may lead a dyslexic student to beable to view the opposite side of an object in his mind, based on observations concerning thefront of the object and his previous knowledge. This special reasoning skill is extremely usefulin engineering. Language, however, is two-dimensional; the tendency to reason in threedimensions can lead a “b” to look like a “d”, “p” or “q

we can obtain the grade of membership of a set in regard toanother set; in our case, the grade of membership of an individual profile with respect to an ideal Page 24.1009.8profile. We assimilate those grades as truth values that are in the interval [0,1]. Relationships arerepresented through rules “if ... then”; thus, truth values can be calculated with some T-normsor S-norms, as these kind of relationships (p → q) can be represented in terms of ∧ and ∨,respectively.13In this work, we use some fuzzy implications in order to find the values of the compliance levelof a common node from both trees, individual profile and ideal profile.

. Network motif analysis is light-weightsolution that is capable of evaluating large amounts of educational data in educational platformsthat cater to the need of many students (such as MOOCs) and rely on the participation of masses(Q&A sites and online communities). The proposed approach will resolve some assessmentchallenges in examining student participation across different bodies of social groups and onlineengineering spaces. In online environments that host thousands of engineering learners, networkmotif analysis will offer descriptive accounts of recurring interaction patterns between novicesand experts, as well as consistent forms of interactions between groups of engineering learnersthat is indicative of sustained participation in

havebeen on Tuesdays. Those Tuesday slots were converted to “open office hours”, in that theinstructor would be available in the classroom, with OLI access, to answer questions. The OLImodule quizzes (typically two each week) were scheduled to straddle the Tuesday Q&A and theThursday recitation sessions. This provided convenient opportunities every week for thestudents to get answers to their questions shortly after each OLI quiz.The students were required to buy the two textbooks used in previous years. One was atraditional statics textbook; the other was an economical book of distilled concepts and workedproblems. The students had required readings from both books, aligned with each module.Assigned homework problems came from both textbooks
aseriousness in listening to the oral presentations beyond what the instructor has seen forconventional term paper oral presentations. The peer review exercise coupled with the highlyinvolved term project provided added technical depth to the course. A higher level of interactionamong students in the classroom was observed as compared to a conventional classroom. Thehigh level of interaction was particularly evident during Q&A session of the oral presentationswhere familiarity with manuscript content was apparent.In addition, the peer review promoted improved student writing skills (and personal reflection ofthese skills) that benefitted students for activities following the class including entering industryworkforce or pursuing graduate education

between the vertical section and the first horizontal section of pipe. The pumpcurve is hp = (100 - 0.01Q2), where hp is the pump head in feet, Q is the flowrate in gpm, and is a dimensionless parameter that specifies the size of pump/motor combination chosen ( canhave any value between 0 and 10). The cost of the pump/motor is $700.If the flowrate at each exit is 10 gpm, determine the pipe diameter that minimizes the totalsystem cost. Also calculate the pump inlet pressure (in psig), and the power required (in hp) ifthe pump/motor has a combined efficiency of 70%.This problem can be solved using EES, but there are several numerical issues that must beconsidered.

This session was set up as a panel discussion with apanelist addressing each of the five topics listed in Table 2. Students were required to submit inwriting two-three questions in advance of the session and there were also provisions to submitquestions at the session. After the formal portion of the presentation, a lively Q&A sessionensued.Both sessions were held in the evening to avoid conflicts with students’ class schedules andattendance was very strongly encouraged.
