the constructionof the conveyor belt. Once the candy is on the second level, the product is distributed (FRAMEL) to several machines that weigh the candy and when the correct weight is obtained it is thendisbursed to the bagging machines. (FRAME M, be sure to click on the movie clip to see one ofthese machines in action. The movie clip is of a newer sorting machine.) Once the candy isweighed, it is dropped through the ceiling (FRAME N) to the bagging machines on the firstlevel (FRAMES O and P, be sure to click on the movie clip to see one of these machines inaction.)

the laboratory where they observe the operation of a shell and tube heat exchanger. Returning to the classroom, students explore the application of the performance equation for single pass heat exchangers: Page 5.93.4 q = UA∆TLM Equipped with this simple equation, students investigate the effect of each variable: Howdoes the heat exchanger area (A) affect the rate of heat transfer (q) or one of the outlettemperatures? What is the effect of the value of the overall heat transfer coefficient, U?Students are also introduced to the units of the heat transfer rate and the overall heat

top joint indicates that the forces in PQ and RQ are equal and are 500 N. Thus,member PQ will develop a force equal to 5/3 (or 1.67) times 500 N (half of the vertical load on the truss), while themember P′Q′ will develop a force equal to 13/5 (or 2.6) times 500 N. Correspondingly, loads in the other membersof Truss B are also higher. Hence, B is the correct response.Level 5: Synthesis. This competency level refers to the ability to put parts together to form a new whole. Learningoutcomes in this area stress creative behaviors, with major emphasis on the formulation of new patterns of theknowledge structure. Questions at this level are initially more suitable for homework, group activity, or descriptivetype of exam. However, they can be posed

An effort dubbed “Exceeding Expectations =Quality” or “E2=Q” has been successfully initiated into the administrative functions at PUC, butno formal acceptance has been documented on the academic side.

The input and output gain windows allow for pre-scaling and post-scaling during fixed-point implementation. Any value may be entered, however, the value will be rounded to thenearest power of 2.
