demonstrates some basic concepts of subsonic flow using a nominal 50m/s wind tunnel. A variable pitch NACA 0015 symmetric airfoil equipped with 11 surfacepressure taps spans the tunnel test section and a multi-tube water manometer board is used tomonitor the surface pressures and provides a visual display of the dynamic changes associatedwith varying angles of attack. A Pitot-static (Prandtl) tube is mounted at the front of the testsection to measure the static and impact pressures required to determine the flow velocity. Thedynamic pressure from the Pitot-static tube is measured using a Betz manometer, which isremotely observable using a webcam.The pressure from the airfoil pressure taps is measured using a Scanivalve® pressure transducersystem that

construction phase can be measured by thephysical construction that results from that phase. Clearly defined visualization(s) thatdepict the expected outcomes from each phase of construction can be generatedbeforehand and these can be embedded into the framework as shown below. For instance,in Figure 4, the two visualizations show the finished stages of construction at two phases.Any lags or setbacks in construction (in the real-time) can be compared with the pre-planned designs and faults and delays can be easily identified. This facilitates a moreconcrete evaluation and hence decision-making rather than relying on abstract or vaguemilestones.

Trafficdemand keeps increasing greatly over time, but capacity stays the same. Furthermore, most ofthe nation’s highway system was built during construction boom between the 50’s and 80’s, with20 years design life. Most of them already exceeded their original design life. For this reason,there are serious growing concerns about road user safety and inconvenience to the travelingpublic. To address the concerns, many states are now under increased pressure to rebuild aginghighway infrastructure systems that need timely renewal within a few years.

For the most part, theystated the big ideas listed in the lesson provided by the NCLT (although some identified differentbig ideas), but teachers integrated the big ideas into their learning goals, instruction, andassessment to varying degrees. This is of concern to the professional development programbecause we are interested in teachers integrating high-impact topics in nanoengineering andscience that emphasize nanoscale phenomena, rather than teachers using nanoscale phenomenaas an interesting example without any real focus on the nanoscale concepts involved.

The origin of work ethic can be traced back to Max Weber’s interminglingof Calvinist religious ideology and economics in the early 1900’s.
