of universities have also provided facilities for students to submit anonymouscomments on a class. However, these tools are rarely used by students, tend to attractemotional complaints, and do not provide a coherent mechanism for improving delivery of acourse.Some instructors have rolled their own midterm evaluations using LMSs or off-the-shelfsurvey tools. These have often proved cumbersome. Austin and Austin [5]’s LMS lackedanonymous response capability; instructors could see who had answered a question. Thus,if they logged in to view results at a time when only a single student had responded, theycould figure out what that student had written. Second, substantial administrative supportwas needed: Instructors needed to import a Zip file

? Students quickly learn that it is a lot easier to move a wire or change a component when they are in a virtual design space. One of the great advantages and features of MultiSim is its ability to allow the user to capture its graphics. A major strength of a professional report is the visual presented to the reader. It is true that “one picture is worth a thousand equations.”1 Just take a look at a bridge or large building the next time you pass one. Each of these represents literally thousands of complex equations of which you are viewing the results. Among MultiSim’s capture capabilities is its ability to capture a schematic under design, in addition to capturing a whole host of responses such as

D 50 was estimated at 0.041 mm (0.0016in.). Therefore, the design velocity for slurry transport was based on these grain sizes. Durand–Condolios’ limiting deposit velocity equation was used to determine a transition velocity thatseparates the suspended heterogeneous sediments from the moving bed regime. To avoidblockage, the pipeline velocity must be greater than the limiting deposit velocity. The equationis ær ö VLD = FL 2 gD çç S - 1÷÷ Where è rW ø VLD – limiting deposit velocity
