A Team Battle is an activelearning exercise designed by the instructor that involves group problem solving and has beenused successfully by the instructor in the past for a different flipped course [2]. In this course, theinstructor split the class randomly into teams of four, provided each team with two problemsrelated to the week's topic, then had students work in pairs to solve the problems. When a teambelieved they solved both problems correctly, one representative wrote the team name on thewhiteboard and the instructor checked their answers. If one or both answers are wrong, the teamwas given a three-minute timeout in which they could continue to work on the incorrectproblem(s) but could not write their team name on the board

the early 2000’s, but the problems were often posed as already defined tasks, that while open-ended in possible solutions, provided the students all of the outside information that they need to develop the model. In practice, we have found that when working on MEAs, students often misunderstand the problem or the client’s needs and wants early in the problem-solving cycle. The three activities presented here are MEAs that have been modified to better scaffold the problem-defining phase of the design cycle and to support students in developing problem-scoping skills.

to tell where an output originated withoutcontext; fortunately, the utterance “I had a thought” communicates clearly the idea originatedwith S1. Considering S2’s response in line two it is evident that there is some confusion on theusefulness of differentials, making the discussion inherently valuable. S1: I had a thought. Are we going to have differential temperature within the differential length? S2: I’m not sure…why we need a derivative this way? This [current equation] seems accurate, because… S1: If you have a differential length are you concerned with the temperature within that…at that length? Because this temperature is dependent on the length, right? So, I guess it’ll be just dT/dl…but then… S3
byadaptation.In an ideal setting, participants in a transdisciplinary project would have immediate feedback onthe effects of their actions. They would then adapt through small-scale experimentation and learnfrom the results [33]. For example, in the theoretical project on water catchment, participantsmay have a theory that water features with sustainable gardens would lead to greater sense ofcommunity and less crime. This theory could be tested with a prototype project and inquiry intochanges into the sense of community. The feedback would lead to further adjustments. Assuggested by Waddock et al.’s [9], an adaptive evaluation framework would adhere to theheuristics to “prioritize learning in the context of constant change,...work with co-evolution

studies are conducted to assess mix-ing in process vessels. Mixing time is defined as the time taken toachieve a certain fixed degree of homogeneity (say 99.5%) in thesystem (Figure 1). The experiment involved determination of mixingtime by pH method in a stirred tank (Figure 2 and Table 1). In thisexperiment, 1.5 L of double-distilled water was added to the tankand the initial pH [pH(0) at time = 0] was noted. A known molarityof sodium hydroxide solution was used as the tracer. 10 mL of tracer Figure 1. Typical plot of normalized pH vs. Time.was added and the pH value [pH(t)] was recorded every Figure 15 s using a pH probe. The experiment was conductedat a fixed rpm of 50
