Key fluid mechanics principles are demonstrated using designproject assignments, demonstrations/experiments, videos, and lectures. A series of elevenmodules has been developed. Each module consists of an outline of the theory of a topicthat will be covered in lectures, an illustrated design problem, historical and culturalnotes, a design homework example

The long-term outcome of this program of research is to develop approaches toinstruction that are based on principles of learning and information processing gained fromcognitive science and to provide evidence of their usefulness in education settings. To achievethis outcome, NCETE addresses three overarching research themes.Research Theme 1 – How and What Students Learn in Technology EducationIn order to develop developmentally appropriate learning sequences and effective

The appenables learners to “look into” the SEM and examine in 3D the different subassemblies of theSEM, visualize mechanical and electromagnetic phenomena within the SEM, and probe howthese phenomena are affected by commonly-used imaging parameters such as working distanceand magnification. This app has now been released into an undergraduate-level laboratory class(“Micro/Nano Engineering Laboratory”) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).Students

Some institutions cluster these seminars into a series.Moreover, the National Science Foundation recently has invested in both developing coursework (EURO:Enhancing Undergraduate Research Opportunities, DUE# 1123068) and training faculty/staff on how toassemble pre-research coursework (DUE#1623697). These programs focused on teaching generalresearch skills to undergraduate students instead of engaging them in disciplinary research activities(Burkett, et al 2013; Schneider, et al 2016). However, most existing programs do not provide robusttraining materials for pre-research and research skills development for beginning undergraduates.While one of this paper’s coauthors attended the workshop on assembling pre-research

The projects assigned in each course are relatedand planned to build up the knowledge and skills needed to develop a successful senior designproject or capstone project. In implementing the approach, the instructor identifies the topic orproblem to be proposed as a senior design project.

In particular, games have been shown to bemore effective if they are embedded in instructional programs that include debriefing andfeedback.12 Perhaps the most well-known communication game is the “Who are we?” game,designed around the principles of the Johari Window model developed by Dr. Joseph Luft andDr. Harry Ingham.

The basic reactor experiments that were performed were quite similar to what thepioneers Enrico Fermi, Leo Szilard, Eugene Wigner and others performed in Chicago in1942 and subsequently at the plutonium producing reactor in the state of Washington.These experiments remain similar to those done at the electric utility reactors and by thenuclear navy at times of refueling and startup. The experiments include 1) confirming the ability to measure neutrons andcalibrating the instrument channels by testing and calibrating to assure that neutrons andonly neutrons are measured, 2) starting with an empty core and then loading fuel andmonitoring neutron multiplication as a
