In the initial two or three labs the studentsmust construct models for at least two different systems. These models will be used throughoutthe course.

Both of these studentsdeveloped their own equations, using dimensional analysis to organize the given information.Both students displayed a solid understanding of specific heat capacity and heat transfer. The next tier of students began the problem by organizing the given into a table ordiagram. These students could also identify this as an energy balance question. With minimalprompting or clues (e.g., q = mC∆T), these students could develop a

One, StudentQ, explained, “I would prefer exams over presentations, but I like the researchpapers”.Student Q expressed displeasure with the knowledge gained from the researchassignment: These papers/presentations, as far as individual research is concerned, do not give us a full scope of the reg(ulation)s.

With refined goals and objectives, as well as scope ofwork and a schedule, the projects went on at full speed.The second checkpoint was a final presentation of the project, which accounted for 30% of theproject grade. The presentation was group-based, fifteen minutes long, and was followed by tenminute Q&A. It was required that the final presentations should involve external audiences,including project sponsors, other interested faculty members and students. The presentationswere video-taped and archived as a reference for future learning activities. The presentationswere graded by the self-performance of each

A simple extension of thisapproach allows for a quantitative study of the behavior of an RC circuit with a capacitor inseries with a lamp. However, the varying resistance of the lamp invalidates the solutionpresented above for the time-varying current i(t) and the definition of the time-constant. Hence adifferent approach is needed to solve for the circuit characteristics.Kirchoff’s Voltage Law for a capacitor in series with a resistance R leads to the equation Q ε − iR − = 0 , (3

Fortunately, SPSS finds these coefficientswhen attempting to fit a curve to the data.6. Preliminary Results Now that the CER’s have been developed, the next step is to use simple mathematicallogic to bring them together as one model. One of the major factors to also consider is howmany satellites are being produced. Therefore, the model resembles the following: • Spacecraft Cost = [(Mechanical CER) + (Power CER) + (GNC CER) + (Propulsion CER) +…..+ (Science) + (Flight Software) + (CCNT) + GS • Total Cost = SC * Q (quantity)A MS Excel
