The students learned aboutphase-locked-loops, integrated circuits, and working as a member of a design team.

the dynamics of interaction between the fluidflow and the geometry of the airplane. Reliable operation of a computer depends partly on theefficiency with which heat is removed from the circuit board by the fluid flow introduced by thecooling fan(s). Efficient power plant operation depends heavily on the interaction between fluidflow (working fluid) and the heat and work interactions associated with the fluid. There are anumber of other engineering applications where fluid flow plays a significant role and so thestudent training in these discipline areas should have access to a good fluid flow experimentalfacility. The most common fluid flow facility suitable for this purpose is a wind tunnel.Problems in aerodynamics, heat transfer

sustain economic growth. Just asthe space race in the 1960’s motivated political, educational, business, and thepopulation to act, so must today’s global brain race create a sense of urgency toaddress this issue. Concrete steps must be taken to curtail the tide. A change inemphasis must be enacted in K-12 as well as higher education with all the playersin STEM working together. Numerous efforts are being implemented across theUnited States to address the concern in K-12 and post secondary education. Someefforts have had limited success while others are making a bigger impact.However, we are not seeing a significant national effort or an urgent concern tiedto any of these independent initiatives. Therefore, the challenge must be posed:Have we

ConclusionNowadays, cell phones are one the most popular wireless devices with numerous capabilities,and the concept of using a cell phone to alert owners of security breaches to their vehicles hasbeen used in similar projects in the past. However, the results of this project verified that thesame goal can be accomplished by employing a timer module to provide the equivalent functionsof the more expensive and complex systems that require extensive computer programmingcode(s) and/or hardware to operate properly. Furthermore, production cost and effectiveness ofthis idea were the major parameters of this project, and the timer module proved to

Assessment and evaluationof the results of the JiTT implementation include ongoing tracking of student learning objectivesuccess rates, a survey of student views of JiTT, and faculty reflections.BackgroundThe recent rapid advances in web accessibility, coupled with the identification of active learningas a key to student understanding, provide the framework for a new instructional approach calledJust in Time Teaching (JiTT). Beginning in the mid 1990’s, physics educators were searching fora teaching technique to motivate and hold the

pathwas clearly identified and the WBS was followed closely.In the reflection papers written by the students, numerous comments were made that indicated agenerational clash. The class has several non-traditional students in their late 50’s and 60’s.These older students were more inclined to give as well as accept orders and direction. Theirstyle was more autocratic. The younger generation of students did not espouse this approach andresisted it. Their view was much more democratic and demanding an input on every decision.This generation gap was fascinating and accentuated the fact that project management is allabout people. The younger generation did not recognize this conflict for the generational clashthat it was, while the non-traditional

Problemsassigned in this course start with the most straightforward, where the problem is a direct matchwith a table entry, and increase in difficulty. With inclusion of problems using trigonometricfunctions, one type of problem will require integration of a function such as sin(πx) dx
