Numerically integrate the equations of motion and plot the trajectory of the mass during the interval of time 0 < t < 5 s. Verify that the trajectory will, at some point, coincide with the circle determined in Item 2. 4. Finally, repeat the operations done in Item 3 for two other sets of arbitrarily assigned ini- tial conditions and verify that, regardless of initial conditions the motion of the mass will converge to the steady state solution. Provide a physical explanation for this behavior.3.2 Dynamics of Particle Systems: Two Masses Connected by a SpringThis activity
examination of students in these twogroups (baccalaureate only and baccalaureate and additional degree(s)) differed by 2.7 percentin favor of the students holding additional degrees, a difference that is not statisticallysignificant. However, the average of both groups in the cooperative classes exceeded theaverage of the students in the classes that used the lecture/discussion format. Adjusting theaverage score of the cooperative classes for the differences in educational attainment betweenthe baccalaureate only and additional degree groups would result in an approximately 0.8%decrement in the average score of the cooperative classes. Thus, level of education apparentlyhas too small an effect to account for the observed differences in average test

Findings from the data revealed that over half (57%) of the students felt that thelevel of responsibility, their learning benefit, and the salary was either good or excellent.Forty-six percent of the students did not respond to questions regarding whether or nottheir coursework had prepared them for the co-op experience nor to any of the questionson Career Services (C.S.) except for the question on preparation meetings offered by C.S.(See Table 1) The “no response” column in Table 1 shows that students either did not fillout the evaluation form or chose not to answer the question(s).

that the department’s quest to slay theHydra—fully infusing the program with the BOK2 outcomes—could not be accomplished byselectively tweaking courses. Rather, as this paper discusses, a complete review of every aspectof the program was necessary, including the educational objectives, the program outcomes, andthe objectives for each required course. Ultimately, it was a two-year process of programassessment, evaluation and modification to fully implement the BOK2.I. IntroductionA.
