Having to calculate multiple times the friction factor in both the straight channel and the bends channel was good practice for the exam as it helped e memorize the Mech Bal Eqn. It also made the concept of friction quite clear as far as how it affects flow, especially on the micro scale. it was good to talk through the math and how it worked with my group members and explain the math to them.

McKraken’s comprehensive examination of first-year CS students [4] reportsthat only approximately 20% of the surveyed students could solve programming problemsexpected by their instructors. In addition, the importance of programming continues to grow. Notonly are CS and ECE students expected to master the art of programming, but student mastery ofdomain-specific languages such as MATLAB, R, Maple, Mathematica, and one or more HDLs isnow required to be successful in all engineering disciplines.Composing one’s thoughts in a computer language – be it a traditional
