It contains one reactor capable of generating3000 MWth, with a 33% efficiency. The reactor uses UO2 enriched to 4% and a plannedfuel burn up of 43,000 MWD/MTU. The plant is situated near a fresh water body suchthat 50,000 m3/hour of makeup water are available. The plant has a single 400-foot tallhyperbolic wet natural draft-cooling tower situated in close proximity to the plant. Theplant (reactor, service buildings, cooling tower) consumes 200 acres of land for theduration of its operation and is surrounded by an additional 1200 acres of undisturbedland.

Indicate how the learner will be evaluated, or what constitutes acceptable performance; i.e., What will you expect as satisfactory performance?Of these three components of an instructional objective, it is the second one that relates to theteaching of “skills” that students need in order to learn successfully.

Because of the relation between m and j for a simple truss, the number of equations and thenumber of unknowns are the same. These equations can be solved simultaneously. The stress, s, developed by a member is the member’s internal force divided by its cross-sectional area, A. Assumptions The self-weight of the truss members and joints can be neglected incomparison to the applied loads.

System-level integration and test is an enormous task since it evolves the entire system,external interfaces and the environment. To address these issues in the curriculum, we will placean emphasis on the following two approaches: incremental integration with progressive andsystemic testing, and white-box testing of temporal properties.Various integration strategies have been investigated since 1970’s with the most effectivetechnique being incremental integration, either bottom-up or top-down approaches.

rubriccontains criteria for acceptable performance that are meaningful, clear, concise, unambiguous,and credible -- thus ensuring interrater (sic) reliability.” 2 There are many advantages for the instructor who uses rubrics to grade student work.For many instructors, probably the first reason to use a rubric is that it speeds up the gradingprocess. When what will be evaluated and what each element is worth is predetermined, lesstime is spent contemplating the "right" grade to put down. The use of rubrics insuresconsistency. For example, suppose an instructor finds an exceptionally good report in the middleof the stack s/he is grading. The report next in the stack is not as good, and therefore does notdeserve as good of grade. But it might get a

essential thatdocumentation be kept about what was discussed, what was changed, why it was changed, andhow the constituents were involved in the change process. One interesting assessment tool that Iobserved on a visit was the use of Course Summaries. At the end of each term, each facultymember prepares a Course Summary for the course(s) they have just completed teaching. In thesummary, they addressed things that went well in the course, things that didn’t go as planned andthat they would change the next time, as well as any deficiencies noted in the students'preparation from the prerequisite courses that feed into their particular course.

Because it typically takes a student a minimum of four yearsto graduate, students who have entered university after 1995 have not usually had enough time tograduate, and are excluded from these analyses. Therefore, for the graduation analyse s, we onlyinclude students matriculated in an engineering field between 1987 and 1994.
