Kalpana: So I think the main reason goes back to my family, and what my parents, even my grandfather, what they did, how they thought about things.

We will present and discuss results from (1) educator feedback surveys, (2) websiteanalytics, and (3) educator focus groups. We will also reflect on the challenges and opportunitiesin promoting new web-based educator materials.

A key component of the interactive lecture is that no“solution” slides are provided. The teams must work through the calculations or reflections togain a complete set of slides. This forces all students to engage in the lecture. Answers are sharedout in the larger group and the instructor guides the discussion of the answers so as to ensure acommon understanding of the concepts.Our initial assessment shows a marked improvement in student understanding of the relevanthydrodynamics concepts necessary to designing an underwater vehicle.

Though this is the case, it is worth noticing that team dynamics in Section 1 deteriorates in a statistically significant manner (see Table 7 where t = 1.38, nu = 29, and p<0.05) whereas there is no statistically significant difference when comparing answers to Question 2 (Q2) for pre- and post-project survey results in Section 2—see Table 12 where t = 0.83, nu = 41, and p>0.05.

He cautions, however, that if the object is notfamiliar, students may have difficulty in visualizing the object even while in college.
