In the 2000’s Steif and Dollár[8] suggested and then later showed[9] that thecombination of in-class conceptual questions and hands-on physical demonstrations in a Staticsclass resulted in high learning gains. Researchers later developed[10] and found[11] thatsupplemental web-based content was also beneficial to student learning. However, whileconceptual

The program directors and directors of student support services are working closely with 1095 to ensure she receives strong support.” Scholar 1103 stated, “The price of college has put an increased financial burden on my family and me. With four younger siblings and my father being disabled with a lung condition these burdens are quite significant. I have coped with these financial pressures by striving to reduce costs, taking out loans when needed, and doing work on

The Fanning friction factor is still implicitly defined, but can be read off the Moodydiagram.Reducing the volume flow to 𝑞 = 0.1 l/s, we find the flow to be laminar, since we have defined Re= 2100 as the critical value.As a final question, we ask the students to investigate the highest possible temperature of the waterflow in laminar conditions (pipe diameter and flow rate unchanged):We conclude that the temperature can rise to about 8°C before we enter the turbulent (or at least theintermediate) phase.This example clearly show that many problems that are too complicated to solve using pencil andpaper, are within reach

existing, industry sponsored, multi-disciplinary capstone teamproject that is required of all students.In order to assess whether this approach can increase awareness in global cultures, the MGUDS-S formwhich assesses cross cultural diversity was used to assess cultural awareness and sensitivity. Ultimatelythis form is being used to evaluate whether the international senior capstone project approach can impacta change in cross cultural diversity. This study explores the existing differences in the populations thatinvolved in existing on-going multinational projects—projects with students from Germany and Poland.Furthermore this study also attempts to evaluate the response to this survey tool from a population ofexperienced business and technical
experts,promoting student-centric practices that build on students’ prior knowledge and experience22,23.The mismatch in values can create a psychological “immune response” that seeks to guardexisting identities and value systems and ward off invading identities23.CoPs provide a safe environment for challenging this immune system, surrounding resistantfaculty with respected colleagues, thus mitigating the perception of identity threat. Within CoPs,faculty engage in long-term situated learning, participating in community-valued practices1,2,13.Description of the Change EffortAs described by Henderson et al.’s change axes3, the primary goal of creating faculty CoPs is toorganize faculty into a new teaching environment that fosters emergent changes

After thefirst (background check) quiz the following e-mail (boxed below) was sent to the class givingstudents another opportunity to relearn the topics. The quiz 1 mentioned below was multiple-choice type. Many students would guess answers on such questions. But the condition forregrading such quizzes was they must learn the correct reason/s for each of the missed questionby reading notes, or by discussions with groupmates or others. This worked very well. In fact,our data shows a consistent interest among students. Further tracking some of the students fromFluids II to the
