, and positive student comments in Appendix C), instructorsmust excite students to take ownership of the questions and work independently on modeldevelopment. One way to do this is to introduce applications right from the dynamics or, fluidscourse which students regularly use or, have seen before, and prepare a mathematical modelaround it [18]. Note that the first two questions in Appendix A are attempting just that. Sincestudents would not recall the speed of sound and Mach number (M) check for incompressibility,the second question provides the value of the limiting airspeed of 102 m/s. It does give theinstructor opportunity to address the M < 0.3 limit while discussing the solutions with students.The location of stagnation points, the

integral was introduced by Gottfried Leibniz in 1675. The integral Page 12.806.5symbol he used, " ", was derived from an elongated letter S, standing for summa (Latin for "sum"or "total"). Newton was at times a very nasty man. Following the death of Leibniz, Newton isreported to have declared that he had taken great satisfaction in "breaking Leibniz's heart."Newton seemed to be characterized by a lack of publishing for much of his life. This may havebeen due to the fact that he was very sensitive to criticism. For example, the conflict he had withRobert Hooke over optics resulted in his ceasing all publications until after the death of Hooke

comprehensive review of this literature here, wecite and discuss selected works that have influenced our thinking.A large body of research evidence suggests that active learning techniques – broadlytaken here to mean any form of instruction that engages students beyond passivelyreceiving information – promote learning10,11. A particularly convincing study conductedby Hake in the 1990’s demonstrated that physics students exposed to some form of“interactive engagement” developed higher levels of conceptual understanding than thosein “traditional” instructional settings12. Active learning grounds the SCALE-UP projectat North Carolina State University13, many of the integrated engineering curricula thatemerged in the 1990’s14, and some of the emerging
