Other surveysallowed the participants and their research hosts to evaluate all major program components.Finally, a series of exercises and assignments provided participants with reflective learningopportunities, while also giving the program team rich insights about student experiences.In the remainder of the paper we present preliminary results of our program evaluation, includingevidence of the quality and success of the program generally and a number of major

The changes to the project allowed flexibility in the designsolutions that encouraged the students to be more innovative and creative in the design process.The purpose of this paper is to describe the team design project including how it was able toimprove the student‟s learning experience. Assessment strategies and results will be shared.Preliminary findings indicate that the project increased the students‟ awareness of the world,their teamwork skills and reinforced the application of a formal design procedure.

[7] to formally call these constructscurricular design patterns, which they describe as, “collection[s] of curricular and co-curricularlearning activities intentionally structured so as to allow students to attain a set of learningoutcomes within a given educational context” [p. 5]. Although the term co-curricular is used inthis definition, there is much greater emphasis on the structure of prerequisite and corequisiterelationships. Still, by examining these roadmaps for how students are expected to progressthrough their discipline’s plan of study, we can understand how different curricular

More detaileddescriptions of each of these programs have been previously reported.[1-3] Both programsrequire substantial coursework in all four elements of STEM, as well as integrated-STEM(i.e.- how to use multiple STEM elements together in K-12 curriculum/activities). Studentsin both programs also acquire substantial experience in integrating non-STEM subjects withSTEM subjects. In 2006 our department completed a redesign of our “TechnologyEducation” curriculum to integrate more M&S into our Technology & Engineering (T&E)courses, resulting in our current “pre-engineering” curriculum.

However, testing does show increasedpower output from shrouded geometry that can be compared to unshrouded tests to determineand “effective” velocity to see what speed is necessary to produce the same power without ashroud.To further confirm CFD predictions, three different shroud sizes were tested: 20°, 25°, and 30°.All had an outlet area to inlet area ratio of four
