) =0 x T (0, t ) = −q . (9) x 5Where k = 401 N/mK and q = 20 w. Initial condition is specified as that the temperature overthe rod T (x,0) = 290ok. The objective of the project is to build numerical models based on finite difference methodsfor predicting the changes of temperature along the rod with respect to time. The 7-inch-longrod is divided into n uniform segments, with nodes numbered from 0 on the left end to n on theright end. The first-order and second-order derivatives in the heat

through the volumes worth of materialwritten on the subject in order to simplify the topic of entropy to something that is clear and easyto understand. To accomplish this, the paper contributes by (1) introducing examples ofspontaneous processes that most people should already understand, (2) providing a brief reviewof the general operations of heat engines and the Carnot cycle, (3) framing the Carnot cycle inrelation to entropy, (4) discussing non-ideal heat engines, (5) showing analogies to help thereader understand the significance of the ratio Q/T as a definition for entropy, (6) adding somebrief notes on entropy that are beyond the general scope of this paper, and (7) presentingbrainteasers designed to engage students in the classroom.

∞ 𝑅ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑘 = Eq. (1) 𝑞, where 𝑇𝑠 is the average surface temperature of the simulator, 𝑇∞ is the air temperature in thetest section and q is the power supplied to the heater. The heat transfer problem is simplified asone-dimensional heat conduction that is normal to the wind direction. Additionally, thetemperature at the base of the heat sink is assumed to be the same as the temperature of thesimulator for simplicity. That is, the thermal resistance of the thermal interface material isneglected. Tꚙ T

they should only post the topics related to prerequisite material for that class. • The placement of the videos on the course website is very important. The links should be accessible directly on the main course page and the instructors should make announcements in class about their availability.AcknowledgementsThe initial work in this paper was supported by a 2018-2019 Graduation Initiative 2025Innovation Grant from California State University, Fullerton.References[1] Q.

The data on teamwork and communication is augmented with and comparedto Slack data.Timeline: Table 1 gives a list of codes for the time-line illustrated in Fig. 1. The time-line listswhen questionnaires were administered, when the ME students had exams, when there wereinterprofessional meetings, and when deliverables were assigned or submitted. Additionally,since two of the ME students were part of a school athletics team, the time-line also lists athleticevents that required travel as well as the end of the season.
