making written communication skills part of the grading process in several laboratories. This was implemented and the results were tracked via the employer evaluations of the outcome over time. The result is shown in Figure 1. The figure shows that the employer evaluations of the student preparedness in written communications increased for several years and then leveled off. As a result, it was determined that more could be done by adding more opportunities for evaluation and feedback on student written work. Toward that end, writing was integrated into the mechanical design

Applications include high-temperature unsteady flows, such as found in gas turbine engines and for non-invasively measuring blood perfusion in the human body. He continues to work to transition research results to industrial and laboratory applications and has published well over one hundred papers in areas encompassing heat transfer, fluid flow, biomedical engineering and instrumentation. He teaches both undergraduate and graduate heat transfer courses with approximately 300 students per year. This encompasses computer usage in class and active learning

this course. With regard to this table, it is importantto note that the WPI academic schedule is based on students taking four terms in an academicyear, with a fifth (optional) summer term. Each term is seven weeks long and three full timecourses/term constitute a full (undergraduate) load. The SE ES capstone course is offered in thefirst term of the year and it is expected that students will take this course concurrent with startingtheir capstone project (MQP but could also be the IQP). A one-term course typically meets fourtimes/week and courses that have laboratory sessions (not this course) also layer in a weekly labsection. A simple calculation shows that as a result of this course/term structure, a typical classwill meet 28 times/term

parameter itself, along with the measurement techniques,are not naturally occurring but socially-constructed. Statistically sound measurements requirethat one eliminate all known sources of variation so that one can mathematically verifycorrelations between variables that can be manipulated and the response to those variables (lackof diversity). In other words, objectivist science seeks to reduce variation to a set of controllableconditions. What is often overlooked in reductionist, objectivist science is that the state of naturerarely mimics laboratory conditions, where all influential sources of variation are eliminated.This is particularly true when one is working in a complex, dynamic social system that includeshuman beings.Within STEM cultures
