in appropriate subsequent analyses. From the Y2 data, we observed no significantdifferences at the 95% confidence level (α = 0.05) between any student sections’cumulative pre-test score, and thus, we include this data in the appropriate analyses in Section 4. When looking atindividual parts of the pre-test, however, we did find a significant difference between section 1 andsection 4 on the Lab 5 portion of the pre-test (p-value = 0.04), with section 4 having a significantlylower average on this portion of the material. Because of this, student section 4’s data was omittedin the Lab 5 analyses for Y2. 4 Results 4.1 Educational Benefit from Course The first question we sought to answer was whether or not the students learned and

The tow path is currently used part of the Mohawk-Hudson bikeway and is used bymany local people for biking and walking. The lock was used to raise and lower canal boatsbetween two segments of the Enlarged Erie Canal. Lock 23 was the first lock west ofSchenectady, NY and the busiest lock on the canal. The locks were built in the 1840’s andexpanded in the 1880’s. The 1840’s lock chambers are 20 feet deep, 17 feet wide and 110 feetlong with a 20 foot wide “island” separating the locks.

This was the first wind tunnel Page 15.594.3that could operate at pressures higher than atmospheric, which allowed higher Reynolds numbersto be achieved at lower velocities. By the 1940’s supersonic wind tunnels were in use, eventhough Chuck Yeager had not yet broken the sound barrier. In 1972 a cryogenic wind tunnel wasbuilt at NASA Langley by injecting liquid nitrogen into the wind tunnel to cool the gas. Thislowered the viscosity and increased the Reynolds number, and this tunnel had the capability tomatch Reynolds and Mach numbers simultaneously up to Mach 1.2. Today the largest
