Page 12.1594.2introducing visualization technologies at university locations. 3A number of funding models exist for these visualization centers, both for initial startup andcontinuing support. These models reflect unique local legislative, economic, and educationalfactors: state appropriations, internal institutional funds, one-time economic development funds,sponsorships by technology providers, partnerships (industry, military, and government), andongoing funding through research grants (NSF, NASA, DOD). For example, the Center forVisualization and Virtual Environments in the state of Kentucky (www.vis.uky.edu/) has used acombination of public and private funds to establish their facility.Visualization techniques such as modeling, simulation

best understanding of the concepts that were taught and allof the items that will be used to assess the student performance in the class have been submitted.If the course outcomes were assessed during the last week of classes, the students may still beunsure of one or more topics. However, by the day of the final exam, the student should havetheir best grasp of the material.Table 2 summarizes the average of the scores given by the students for Fall 2006. Except for ascore of 2.9, most of the scores are well above 3.0. The student assessments reflect that theyhave a good grasp of how to design and analyze linkages and of the concepts associated withlinkages. The lower scores are associated with the mathematical derivations presented in theclass
