one in a suite of eight exercises being developed by the authors which are intended to helpteach core principles in the thermal and fluid sciences through the use of everyday devices.These include a hair dryer, a bicycle pump, a blender, a computer power supply, a toaster,straight and stepped tanks, and a pipe section with a change of area. The project was firstintroduced at the 2007 ASEE national convention in a paper presented in the DELOS division1.Papers are available describing some of the other exercises2,3,4. This paper focuses on thecomputer power supply exercise.The performance of a fan follows a characteristic curve, known as a fan curve, which is specificto that particular fan design.

improving,expanding, and deepening learning for engineering students.They are many platforms that have been adopted to convert regular class meetings to online suchas Zoom. The use of Zoom as a tool to deliver online class has become very popular since theCOVID-19 pandemic began in the spring of 2020. The Zoom platform has been largely adoptedby institutions during the pandemic across the U.S. and around the world. It is used as a method toconnect, present, and deliver lectures to students, and also as a way for students to interact withgroup projects during a time when learning in person has become potentially unsafe. Zoom iscommonly used to facilitate the communication and interaction between teachers and students, andalso meets the demands for a

There were 12 Chinese students surveyed (eightfemales and four males), in several courses including Senior Seminar, Advanced Digital,Automotive Technology, Networking, Instrumentation, and Project Management. The technicalcomponents in each class are different. The experiences are largely dependent upon the student’sacademic skills. Previous

Some arewell aligned for 12 V automotive applications by having a 4 – 18 V input range foroutputs ranging from 3 - 20 V. This is important since automotive voltages sag duringstarting and heavy loading. They also surge at higher engine RPMs and heavy electricalload shutoff.

Several experiments were then performed along withattempting numerical simulations to investigate and elucidate this phenomenon. Next, theexperiments and their results will be discussed. The process of determining the root of thestrange results and the current status of the project will also be outlined.Initial ExperimentThe first step in this investigation was to run the Bernoulli flow experiment “as-is” and attemptto replicate the results of past students.

administrators must determine the extent or severity of the situation, andprovide interventions accordingly. One framework for such decision-making is establishingwhether the condition represents an isolated incident, a pattern-of-behavior, or a systemicproblem.An isolated incident is typically a one-time occurrence, and may be either a mistake orintentional. An example of an isolated incident would be a student on a rare occasion arriving toclass late. A Pattern-of-behavior is defined as repeated offences, usually with increasinglynegative impacts on the student or others. As example of a pattern-of-behavior would be astudent’s inability to get along with classmates on project work teams in several classes. Finally,a systemic problem is manifested in

There were twenty-fourparticipants in twelve non-engineering majors that were deleted including project management,agricultural science, and criminal justice. There were seventeen participants who were deletedbecause they did not identify any major.

class families are more accustomed tostraightforward orders from authority figures than to the indirect communication strategies(Delpit, 1995; Melnick & Meister, 2008). Whenever instructors choose to use these indirectcommunication strategies, they need to provide students with explicit lessons on how nondirective verbal interventions are actually “code” for direct commands.Instructors interviewed in this study mentioned that email communications to some middle-eastern students sometimes seemed less effective, these students preferred face to facecommunication. So, taking few minutes in the class explaining what they need to do for anassignment or project produced better result.Effective instructors of culturally diverse students
