was a search for a significant engineering concept related to solidification.The search started with defining and quantifying the process. If the process is done in a fluid (airor water), then convection is prominent and can be described in the equation below: q=Q/t=A*h*∆Twhere: q is the heat flow rate (amount of heat per time) Q is the amount of heat t is time A is the area of contact between the two objects (cast material and cast mold) h is the ‘film coefficient’ (related to the interface of cast and mold) and T is the Temperature (∆T is the change in temperature)Once the cast material (soap) and molds were chosen, the film coefficient and area is set. Theavailable heat is also set by the melt

For example, a group researching on polyethylene will give their presentation duringthe weeks when the lecture material is on polymers.This group project is a mandatory assignment that accounts for 20% of the overall grade for theclass. The project reports are graded by the instructors based on overall quality and completenessof each required sections, while the oral presentations are graded by both the instructors and thestudent audience based on presentation quality, education content, hands-on demonstrations, andgroup performance in the question and answer (Q&A) session.In one of the ChE classes, the group projects are managed slightly differently. Students turn indifferent sections of their report with

conductivity is awell known material property, and can either bedescribed in the in terms of material structure,heat transfer properties, with analogy toelectrical conductivity, or in a separate chapteron thermal properties. However it isintroduced, it is by relatively simple extensionthat the biology-oriented property of thermalconductance is introduced. As illustrated inTable 3, thermal conductance is used todescribe the heat-retaining capabilities ofbiological species, particularly hair- and fur-bearing animals. Whereas heat flow, Q, isrelated to thermal conductivity, k, cross-sectional area, A, and a temperature gradient,dT/dy, according to the following equation Q = -kA(dT/dy)the same quantity is related to thermal

The most negativeagreement (3.8%) was in Question 9, regarding to the development of the thinking and problemsolving skills by the POGIL activities in classroom. Such neutral and negative responses of Q 7and Q 9 indicate that students, who had limited experiences in active learning environment,might find some difficulty to adapt a new learning strategy to study the subjects by means ofthese POGIL activities.Consider the large number of the positive agreement responses in Q6-9 that stand out stronglyagainst the neutral/disagreement regarding the value of the POGIL based learning environment;for example, a total (11.5%) of the disagreement and neutral response in Question

Used to Load BridgeNewA 1000lb Q-Test tensile/compression machine was adapted for use in the bridge testing. Thebottom grip is removed and a support structure put in its place. This structure has a span of 22inches to accommodate the 24 inch long bridge. The upper grip is replaced with a welded steelU- shape. On the bottom of the U are openings for insertion of the steel rod(s). The machine isthen put into compression mode at a constant speed. The software controlling the machine isTestworks 3 from MTS. The loading is much smoother than before and the bridge top staysparallel to the ground. Since using this new method, the students are happier with the testingprocedure. More ‘A’ grades have resulted than with the old tester. The new tester is
