This is consistent with scores from the HPV presentation, and appears to reflect asystematic difference between these two reviewers.With respect to the comparison of faculty and alumni scores, the most significant differencesoccur for Criteria 1, 7, and 9 (Organization, Questions and Answers, and Problem Definition).The alumni’s familiarity with the FSAE competition may help to explain their more generousevaluation of Criteria 1 and 9.

is the equation?” the appropriate response would be to provide an equation forthe first law as shown below. You: What is the first law of thermodynamics? Anne: The first law of thermodynamics, often called the law of conservation of energy, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed but can change forms. We use this law Page 15.181.5 to keep an accounting of where energy is going in various processes. The equations used depend on the nature of the system. {Topic set to the first law} You: What is the equation? Anne: The simplest form is Q-W=∆E but it depends on the details of the system such as

then present two ways ofconsidering capacitors. First, we present the physical model as a device that stores charge, anddraw the corresponding analogy from hydraulics (water stored in a tank or bucket). We then givea more abstract definition that a capacitor is a device that obeys the equation V = qC, and drawthe parallel to Ohm's law, (i.e., the R in Ohm’s law is replaced by C, and I by its integral q).Next the students construct a simple low-pass filter. Each team uses different RC time constants,and all teams use the function generator and oscilloscope to find the 3 dB point and the generalshape of the response curve of the circuit. Again, the teams swap data and plot the performanceof the circuits. The process is repeated for the high-pass

The Learning Pathway tool organised and presented thisinformation on a weekly basis.

For example, the role of thermal activation during sintering can be revealedmore clearly in an Arrhenius plot of the experimental data as natural logarithm of the densityversus inverse temperature (Fig. 3). Two distinct linear regimes, each consistent with a formalArrhenius-type relationship (i.e., d = d0.exp [-Q/RT], with d and d0 being the density at atemperature T and at room temperature, respectively) can be identified in Fig. 3 over differenttemperature ranges.
