Department of Education’s National Center for EducationStatistics, detailed the explosive growth in distance learning in U.S. higher education. 1 Forthat study, distance education was defined as education or training courses delivered toremote (off-campus) locations via audio, video, or computer technologies. The reportfound that one-third of higher education institutions offered distance education courses inthe Fall of 1995. Of those, nearly 25% offered degree programs and 7% offered certificateprograms that could be earned by taking distance education courses exclusively. More than750,000 students were

A Dwyer Mark II Manometer is used to measure thewind speed by reading the pressure change due to the flow. Assuming a temperature of 25 ◦ C anda pressure of 1 atm, using the datasheet [13] gives the conversion to wind speed in m/s as p v = 20.4952 Pv (4)where v is the wind speed in m/s and Pv is the pressure reading in inches of water.5.1 Benchmarking Drag on a SphereThe drag on a sphere is a well-studied quantity in fluid mechanics, so we

(RQ2) What aspects of theseseminars contribute to students' sense of belonging? As the university reshapes its engineeringcurriculum, this research provides insights into enhancing the transition experience and fosteringa supportive academic community for first-year undergraduate engineering students.

difficult to simulate boundary conditions. Nevertheless, the general conceptsurvived and was improved during the early to mid 1900’s. One improvement that wasmade to this method during the mid 1900’s was to replace the metal sheet with a sheet ofconductive paper with a lower conductivity2. This method is still in use today. In fact,several educational companies, including Pasco3 sell equipment to run this kind ofexperiment. By using either metal or more recently paper, two-dimensional potentialfields can be plotted. Advantages of using conductive paper include lower conductivitythan metal and readily available supplies of the paper. A disadvantage is that theconductivity of the paper is often inconsistent causing errors in the field.Another device

Similarly, theirperformance on a quiz is evaluated on-line and feedback is provided to them. In addition,their score on each quiz as well as the time they spent taking the quiz are sent back to theinstructor and stored in a permanent file.
