equations are converted to a set of algebraic equations using a weighted integral statement (e.g., weak-form Galerkin and least-squares formulation). For example, a weak-form Galerkin formulation of the governing equations, Eq. 1–2, can be stated as: find the solution {u, p} ∈ S h such that for all {w, q} ∈ V h the following equation is satisfied: Z ∂u w· ρ + ρu · ∇u − ρg − (∇ · w)p dΩ Ω ∂t Z − ∇q · u dΩ + (suitable stability terms) ZΩ = {w · (−pI + τ ) · n

course learning outcomes [1].From the students’ perspective, review sessions serve as an opportunity to learn about the examformat and get a general understanding of the types of questions they will be expected to answeror the types of problems they will be expected to solve. On the other side of the classroom, for aninstructor, exam reviews may feel like a tedious and redundant exercise, where one is expectedto regurgitate topics already covered in detail and to solve a series of example problems teasinglysimilar to what might appear on the exam.Another approach to exam reviews is hosting a question-and-answer (Q&A) session withstudents without a set agenda. This approach usually leads to disastrously low classroomparticipation and

suggests fillet radii and key chamfer dimensions [1]. Peterson [8] refers totypical fillet radii of r/d = 1/48 in, where d is the shaft diameter. In either source, thesedimensions do not correspond to common radii on bull nose end mills.Shaft Failure at KeyseatKeyseats are a common point of failure for shafts because they act as stress raisers. In powertransmission, a shaft essentially carries an alternating stress due to bending and a mean stress dueto torsion.Notch SensitivityThe effective stress in a part is typically lower than what one would predict from theoretical stressconcentration. The effective fatigue stress concentration is given by, Kf = 1 + q(Kt − 1) (1

cognitive learning gains be-tween the simulation and paper format groups. The simulation and paper cohorts each consistedof 18 students, when the data is combined across the Spring and Fall semesters.Figure 6: Learner preferences. The statements that learners are prompted to rank in the learnerpreference survey are displayed above each histogram. Learners from both the simulation andpaper cohorts strongly favored the simulation learning format over the paper learning format.5.1 Learner PreferencesThe results for the learner preferences survey are shown in Fig. 6. To examine if there were anypotential bias due to the order in which students completed the formats, we first conducted nor-mality checks using the Shapiro-Wilk test (αSW = 0.05) and Q-Q

They presented the relation between pressure, flow rates, and designing a dam and solar panels for renewable energy.The second mini project: Each group picked their topic from Table 1. They were required toprepare a short 5–10 minutes presentation that included a title slide with the group’s info, aproblem statement slide, research and solution for the chosen topic, and a final slide for Q&A.The topics were broad in different areas to cover all the majors in the class. The objective of thisassignment was to familiarize students with the diverse real-world applications ofThermodynamics and to help them understand the significant challenges faced by our planet,climate, and emerging technologies.

The result was remarkable, with 95% of students reporting that itsignificantly helped them initiate conversations and engage with the audience. Additionally, 63%of students found it useful in handling Q&A sessions, and 74% of them reported increasedconfidence in their communication skills. Some students (26%) also mentioned that they learnedhow to create a poster and organize their poster layout. When asked for suggestions to improvethe course, one main recommendation from students was to introduce short quizzes after eachtopic to reinforce lecture content.The survey results indicate that students found the course engaging and

algorithms from a given team will look very similar, but theindividual submission provides accountability that each student is at least writing up a plan andstarting to think deeply about each problem.Before the second class in the learning cycle, students are told to work with their teams to comeup with 25 questions for each problem by the start of the next class (a reduced version of a 100question Q-storm session [11, pp. 154–155]). They must also submit one of those questions foreach homework problem a day prior to the class. The instructor develops a response to eachquestion and during the second class, discusses the students’ submitted questions.
