coursematerials were collected and analyzed: lecture slides or videos, laboratory, project, andhomework assignments, and sample student projects and assignments.Material from three courses was used for the purposes of this analysis. These courses were usedin this study for a relative rather than absolute comparison of EM content. Therefore, the coursesand content within the courses chosen for this study is not of great importance to the results orgoal of the paper. However, a brief description of the courses and why they were chosen follows.The first course used in this study was a first-year engineering course that focuses on teachingfirst-year engineering students the foundational knowledge they will need in the remainder oftheir undergraduate career
are assessed can matter more than how they are taught; students decidewhat to learn based mostly on how they are assessed and whether they are given opportunities torespond to feedback from those assessments 11 . Laboratory studies have shown that learning andretention of knowledge is enhanced through retrieval practice that incorporates feedback 16;23 ,increased use of formative assessment 7 , and distributed practice 6;21 .Computerized testing centers were developed to reduce the overhead of running exams even inlarge (200+ student) classes, to make it easier to perform assessment in a fashion that positivelyimpacts education. In the three courses discussed in this paper (Intro. Statics, Intro. Dynamics,and Intro. Solid Mechanics), shorter
courses including: Plant Design and Economics, Unit Operations and Separations, Plant Design Project, Bioseparations, Bioprocess Engineering Laboratory, Transport Labora- tory, and Mathematical Methods for Chemical Engineers.

. RSC Physics department plans to begin having students conduct lab experiments using UAS purchased as part of this program in place of more traditional Physics laboratory activities as early as Summer 2019. RSC Math department offered a Special Topics course in the Spring 2019 semester titled “Mathematics of Drones” where students and the instructor investigated opportunities to develop single variable and multiple variable Calculus applications regarding UAV’s. • An extracurricular “Drone Team” comprised of approximately 10 OU students was formed. Their current goal is to get hands on experience with designing, building, and flying drones without the limitations and restrictions of an academic

It was found that smaller element sizesresulted in a finer mesh configuration which improved the accuracy of the analysis.

These contour maps show that asfluid flows through the bend, the maximum flow velocity occurs along the inner portion of
