Bernoulli Balance Experiments Using a Venturi Megan F. Dunn, W. Roy Penney and Edgar C. Clausen Ralph E. Martin Department of Chemical Engineering University of ArkansasAbstractTwo simple and inexpensive venturi experiments were developed for use in either the laboratoryor classroom. The purpose of this paper is to present the equipment, procedures andexperimental results for these experiments, as used in a junior level fluids laboratory. In the firstexperiment, a shop fabricated venturi was employed to determine the experimental minor losscoefficient, K, in an unsteady-state system. The throat velocity determined by the Bernoullibalance was about 16

control group performed the actual hands-onexperiment and a test group performed a simulation using a Java applet that simulated the handson experiment. Students in both groups were given the same laboratory instruction andperformed the experiment either virtually or in reality. At the conclusion of the lab, they weregiven a brief multiple choice test about the experiment and the results of this test were compared.No difference was observed in the results of the tests. This appears to indicate that studentlearning immediately after the experiment was similar in both groups.Introduction and BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to determine if engineering students performing a simulation of anexperiment using Virtual Reality demonstrated similar

activity of successive decomposition in programming may result in significanteducational benefits in many areas, including those unrelated to computer science.This paper presents an approach to teach an introductory programming course focusing at first on thedevelopment of the steps of algorithm using pseudocode, instead on the syntax of the language itself.For beginners programming language syntax can be very discouraging and intimidating. Student’sinterests are withdrawn if they are introduced to the syntax at the very beginning. At this stage oflearning the goal should be capturing the essence of designing a solution instead of focusing on thecomplexity of the programming language implementation. Laboratory experiments are designed tosolve

In this paper, theauthors describe a visualization-based teaching approach to construction education in whichdifferent visualization tools, including video clips, 3D models, drawings, and pictures/photos,together with complementary texts, are used to assist students in deeper understanding andeffective mastering of materials. The proposed teaching method was used to teach a constructionmanagement course

A student opinion surveyindicated that the toolbox was well received, but suggests its stability could be improved.1.

methodemployed at Virginia Tech when teaching the introductory circuits courses was lecture-based,highly mathematical and abstract in nature, there were no instructional activities for the visuallearners that would support their learning of the fundamental concepts in electrical and computerengineering.To balance the need to introduce hands-on learning early in the curriculum with the practicalissues associated with the creation of a laboratory course – cost of equipment, physical space,and staffing, a nontraditional laboratory course was piloted at Virginia Tech in 2004.Experiments were developed that students would conduct outside of a laboratory classroomusing set of equipment, known as Lab-in-a-Box (LiaB).

with minimum modification. The summer 2010 course therefore served as a trial to collectand evaluate data to determine what aspects of the course, such as lecture, laboratory, andhomework, need to be changed. From analysis of the data collected, we believe that the summer2010 online circuits course delivered an experience somewhat comparable to an on-campusversion of the course.This initial report provides qualitative analysis of the initial run of the online circuits from theperspective of teaching staff and students. Recommendations are based on staff observations andprior research in online education. More quantitative analysis will take place after summer 2011,at which point we will have data from both the spring 2011 circuits and online

.Challenge Based InstructionThe selected pedagogical approach was Challenge Based Instruction (CBI) based on theprinciples of “How People Learn” (HPL) and the STAR Legacy cycle (LC). CBI, as project-based learning (PBL), is a form of inductive learning. CBI has been shown to be a more effectiveapproach to the learning process than the traditional deductive pedagogy4-6 and incorporatescognitive and affective elements recommended for retaining underrepresented students7-9. CBIprovides a real life learning environment where the challenge/problem is introduced first and thesupporting theory/principles second (i.e. traditional teaching backwards)10.
