a considerable amount of background didactic instruc-tion needed to be presented before the ethics and other nuances of a topic could be discussed.Another 1/4th of the lectures consisted of a Socratic Q&A with the class, working it from simpleto complex. One-fourth dealt with discussions of case studies, which were often a lead in orfollow up to the Q&A sessions. The remainder of the instructional part of the class dealt withcurrent media reports on BmE activities that followed the topic being discussed. Students wererequired to give a 3-slide, 3-min talk during the last week of the class, accompanied by a 4 or 5page paper. The presentation and paper were to discuss and analyze one current interaction orresearch activity at the

appear to have magical power to theuninitiated. By the end of the hour we can alter the function generators settings, scramble theoscilloscopes controls, and the students can recover the signal (albeit with some guidance from acheat sheet).We then present two ways of considering capacitors. First, we present the physical model as adevice that stores charge, and draw the corresponding analogy from hydraulics (water stored in atank or bucket). We then give a more abstract definition that a capacitor is a device that obeys the Page 22.90.8equation V = q/C, and draw the parallel to Ohm's law, where I is replaced by q and R by 1/C.

However, an interesting idea surfacedregarding the team status meetings with the instructor in which an interview Q&A style could beused to gather sufficient evidence.A pilot was conducted in spring 2010 involving the capstone for Electrical Engineering as wellas Computer Engineering majors. The face-to-face meetings with the teams provided anexcellent opportunity to evaluate the skill levels. The instructor reported that each teamemployed all 3 skills at one or more point(s) during the semester. The results are shown in Table5 for all 6 teams. Good performance was observed in 2-3 teams for each skill; however, the bestteams were not always the same. No team

coefficient (Cv) ratingof a valve is used by fluid power designers to calculate circuit flow, and compare one valvedesign against another as part of the sourcing decision. As such, it is important that a valvemanufacturer publish an accurate Cv rating in order to provide customers the needed applicationdata. The team determined that Cv accurately predicts flow (Q) or pressure drop (dp), using thespecific gravity (SG) of the fluid with expression9; √ . They also discovered thatvalve Cv is determined using a standard test protocol, FCI 68-2-1998, published by the FluidControls Institute3. The standard mandates that Cv must be determined using water (fluid) at60OF, and a valve pressure drop of one psid (bar). When valves are tested with water
