teaching gas turbine based power engines to undergraduate studentsseem to be effective and engaging.In this course, I also use active learning method. In this teaching methodology, unlike traditionalmethods, students are not just passive listeners. Before each session, students are assigned asection of the textbook. They must read the assigned section and come to class prepared. In thebeginning of each class, there is a quiz related to the assigned reading. Then, there is discussionon the questions in the quiz. During this discussion, the concept related to the topic(s) of the dayis reviewed. Depending on the topic, there may be a numerical problem(s) that is attempted bythe students and instructor. Finally, the class is concluded by a quiz

The results determined that a fully portablewind tunnel would not be possible due to weight and storage size restrictions. Given existinglaboratory sizes and cost restraints, the size of the design was also adjusted. The final design was10.3 m long with the widest section being 1.6 m. The test section was 0.6 m by 0.6 m. Theselected fan had an 8.24 kW power requirement for test velocities from 5.56 m/s to 19.44 m/s.The test section was composed of plywood, except for one viewing panel of Plexiglas. Thecontraction and diffuser were designed as fiberglass. The data acquisition system was not fullydesigned, although some

Engineering program was conducted.II. IntroductionIn the early 2000’s, forecasters believed the United States was on the verge of a nuclearrenaissance. Tremendous growth in the energy industry was expected at that time since theaverage age of the nuclear power sector was 48 years of age which ranked among the oldest inany US industry 1. Many colleges and universities geared up new programs with help fromfederal agencies such as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Department ofEnergy (DOE). Over 40 college programs across the country were developed to create a pipelineto help fill the shortage of workers 2. The majority of the programs were two-year Associatedegree programs designed for entry level positions in nuclear fields. At that

the setup placed outside in a patio near our lab space and this helped minimizethe mess with the water (there will be a lot of splashing during initial testing). When choosing afan, you want one that is at least 22 in in diameter, but something greater than 24 in creates alarge region of wind to harness. You will also want to provide students with a wind anemometer(it does not have to be fancy) and just make sure that the wind speeds are between 4.5 m/s and5.2 m/s at the high speed. This provides enough energy to be competitive.One of the secrets that students do not often realize until the end is that because our setup isplaced outside, most of the light energy does come from the sun (even though we place the setupin the shade).
