Each person in thegroup is required to select a different reference(s) and draft the section individually; thegroup then evaluates the individual sections and combines them to create a single section,which they post to the class wiki. In addition to digital resources available to the studentsthrough Blackboard, I have placed several textbooks on reserve at the library.Student responses so far have been mixed. In addition to midterm and end-of-term surveysrelated to the effectiveness of this approach, I am tracking student usage of the digitalresources. A comparison of the class notes developed by individual students with thosedeveloped by the groups allows me to assess the contributions of the individuals and

completes a research paper on an aspect of the capstone project as a part of the CPMcourse. In CPM, project planning and execution principles are introduced that will be applied inthe spring semester when they complete their capstone projects.The capstone experience is designed to provide a forum to practice the art of engineering underconditions encountered in engineering practice. Students work in teams of three to five cadetsand they are in charge of the project. Course coordinator, faculty advisor, and sponsoringpersonnel serve as consultants to the team(s). Students are provided specific guidelines andproject management techniques to help them produce professional results in the format used inengineering practice. Each project needs to be

milliseconds would not polarize the sensor. After thesensor is charged, the A/D converter takes a reading and compares this value to a presetcutoff value. If the value the A/D converter takes is higher than this preset value, it willwait a set amount of time and then repeat this process. The total time it takes for thesensor to discharge and reach this value correlates to the soils moisture level. Soil withless water content takes a shorter amount of time to reach this preset cutoff value.

The overall result isan environment in which students have clear expectations and responsibilities, resulting in auniform level of comprehension as students move deeper into engineering mechanics topicswithin the three mechanics-based majors at USCGA. Faculty benefit from reduced individualadministrative burdens, and sharing knowledge from those who have taught the course before tonewly reported RMF’s and civilian faculty.References[1] Strong, S. and Moskal, B.

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

would cause aspark, which could ignite the gasoline.By contrast, to these first 2 examples, the refrigerator in your house must be grounded tothe earth; this is mandated by law [4]. In general, a refrigerator consumes a great deal ofpower, and thus it draws a large current. The metal “box” that makes up the outside of thefridge is required by law to have a voltage of zero when referenced to the earth. This isdone for safety reasons. Since the refrigerator draws a large load current, simple leakagecan be of the order of 10’s of milliamps, which is more than enough to electrocute ahuman being [4].The rest of this paper covers some real-life cases that show the application and/ormisunderstanding of grounding in an electrical circuit.CASE IIn a
