the average studentperforms 2% better than predicted and the distribution of this difference is negatively skewed (-0.64) indicating the bulk of the students outperform the prediction.Also notice in Figure 1 that no students were predicted to finish with above a 93%. This is likelydue to the fact that few students earn all A’s and A+’s in previous coursework, so very few havea GPA higher than 4.0. This prediction, therefore, fails to predict that students will score an A+in a future course. 100% 95% 90% Actual Performance (in CE300) 85% 80% 75

However, this block also contains severalthermodynamic based topics, including gas turbine engines and aircraft propulsion systems.Additionally, dimensional analysis and modeling are addressed within this case study, which isthe logical place to put them based on their relevance to the wind tunnel testing of models. In contrast to the F-22’s command of 23 lessons in ME312, the Corvette case study isused for only 13 lessons. However, many of these topics are discussed in depth during thecourse of 2-3 lessons, and rely heavily upon the Conservation of Energy principles taught inME311

Asimilar argument can be made for electromagnetics. In fact, the conceptual basis ofelectromagnetics topics that is typically covered in the context of capacitor and inductoroperation in electric circuits courses has been the prerequisite for three calculus-basedelectromagnetics/transmission lines courses in the Electrical Engineering Technology program atMSOE for several years.
