students to thinkabout the big picture is crucial to their understanding of the subject.Application of Concepts in AEE 553 Compressible Flow Aerodynamics: By approaching each equation in the graduate compressible flow class from an applicationstandpoint, it made students appreciate the significance of what it is that they are learning and why.Homework problems were also designed in order for the students to apply the concepts theylearned in class to real-world applications. The homework assignments given to the students areattached in the Appendix of the paper. From an application standpoint, students solved homeworkassignments on: F-35 lifting fan (Calculating thrust and lift using conservation of momentum) (HW 1 Q.4) F-16
semester.Following examination of student responses to the sociotechnical thinking survey, only certainquestions pointed towards potential delineations in responses based on gender. The fullsociotechnical thinking survey is attached in Appendix B. Questions (Q) that showed gender-based differences and were thus most relevant to our research questions in this paper include Q1, 7Q2, Q4, Q9, and Q10. Additional quantitative and qualitative results from this survey that are notspecific to gender differentiation appear in [35].Q1, Q2, and Q4 were analyzed by scaling student responses. Most questions allowed for fourdifferent responses, which were assigned a value of
; though teams were able to follow up with a Q&Asession with the stakeholder via Skype, they still felt unprepared without further communicationwith the actual customer. An obvious constraint was economic in nature, but the focus oncommunity forced teams out of their comfort zone to take a human-centered societal approach totheir design – why did the previous implementations fail? How would you ensure that thesemistakes were not repeated? How would you teach system maintenance to a community thatdoes not have electricity? This project is an ideal example of a mock project, as success is notdefined solely by educated attention to technical solutions but by its value and utility to thecustomer; indeed, this technology exists and is readily

The professor can simulatequestion and answer approach in a F2F classroom in an online environment by using interactivevideo. Student feedback found in Appendix A, shows that interactive video experimented during2016 provides a more engaging experience and documented elsewhere by the authors [4].Because watching a video is mostly a passive experience, the authors wanted students to havemore interaction with the videos to increase engagement. In EE 110 for example, embeddedquestions were posted on top of the videos to simulate a Q&A conversation with students.Interactions were added without redoing the 9 hours of 70-plus videos using

flexibility, i.e., it must have a sufficient number of manipulated variables that must belocated so that the objectives can be achieved. The selection of the proper manipulated variablesis not obvious, so that students should be taught to rely on fundamentals and innovation whenproviding flexibility. A nice example is adjusting the distillation condenser for control pressure.Flexibility analysis builds on the design equation, Q = U A (∆T), which shows that flexibility ispossible by adjusting (1) the heat exchanger area (A), (2) cooling temperature (∆T), or (3) thecoolant flow rate (U and ∆T). Each of these approaches is used in practice, with the proper
