-valence emotions to positive-valence emotions. Traditional moral emotions discussed in the previous section appeared in ourdata (e.g., anger, disgust, guilt, pride), but students also used other expressions to describeemotions they experienced. Emotional expressions could be classified into three broad themes:subsequent negative emotions, anticipatory negative emotions, and positive emotions. Thiscategorization was influenced by Pekrun [30]’s classification of achievement emotions. Pekrunclassified achievement emotions in academic settings into activity emotions and outcomeemotions and divided the outcome emotions into prospective/anticipatory emotions andretrospective emotions based on the time at which the emotions are experienced.

mass flow rate of 8 kg/s is available to cool hot oil from 90 oC to 30 oC.The oil mass flow rate is 4 kg/s. A shell-and-tube heat exchanger with one-shell pass and four-tube-passes is proposed for this process. Using uniform cp values of 2.5 kJ/(kg oC) and 4.2 kJ/(kgo C) for oil and water, respectively, and assuming an overall heat transfer coefficient of 250W/(m2.oC) for the heat exchangera) determine the surface area of the heat exchangerb) plot the heat exchanger surface area as a function of water mass flow rate, when the mass flow rates vary between 6 and 30 kg/s.SolutionThis problem can be easily solved, using the LMTD method and the correction chart in Fig. 2.Using the specific heat and mass flow rate data given in the problem

The paper includes qualitative results from a survey regardingstudent preferences for the new class structure in comparison to the previousstructure.1. BackgroundHistorically, engineering education has been dominated by a lecture only format,in which students are expected to retain and memorize lecture material,reproducing it on demand for exams1. This one-way transfer of information fromteacher to student has been termed the “banking concept of education” by PauloFreire2.In the 1970’s Feire criticized “banking education” for its inability to activelyinvolve the students as critical thinkers. Freire viewed banking education as aform of

Results showedthat agreement was high, with values of Cronbach‟s alpha above 0.9 for idea fluency and ideaflexibility.

This can undermine consistent findings when examining the efficacy ofcreativity enhancement and assessment. Although a single agreed upon definition has not beenestablished, Plucker, et al.’s survey of research on creativity found that there appears to be someconsensus that creativity has two basic characteristics: originality and usefulness [17].

forengineering design teams.Structuration TheoryThis study follows Whitbred et al.9’s approach that combines social network analysis withstructuration theory. This approach enables us to examine the structure of project teams whilealso examining the institutional and contextual factors that contribute to team climate, and to thedevelopment of group norms that affect team interactions. Structuration accounts for theinfluence of institutional factors such as rules or norms of what is “acceptable” or “appropriate”behavior within a specific social context, while also affording the actors within that contextagency to effect those structural influences. This theory envisions a reflexive relationship inwhich institutional influences constrain and enable
