measure a Hall Voltage of about 0.3 mV, but weexpect to improve on that by moving the contacts out of the way and reducing the gap betweenthe poles of the magnet. Even if this does not affect the answer, we already have a design for thedevice that works well enough for a demonstration. Once we have perfected the Hall Effectdevices, we will use them as a demonstration of semiconductor physics in an electronics course.Bibliography1. Adel S. Sedra and Kenneth C.

40problems. Because of the nature and speed of the course, and problems, students areencouraged to work together on the homework assignments, both during class time and inthe evening.Each day the previous day’s assignment is turned in by 8:05 AM, the start of class. Thecounselors grade the assignment during the morning, and return the assignments to thestudents at 1:30 PM each afternoon, at the problem session. The assignments are gradedas E for excellent above 90% correct; S for satisfactory, above 80% correct; and U forunsatisfactory for below 80% correct. Any student who receives a U on an assignmentmust redo all the problems the student missed and resubmit the assignment. Theassignment is not considered passed until all missed problems are done
the dynamics of interaction between the fluidflow and the geometry of the airplane. Reliable operation of a computer depends partly on theefficiency with which heat is removed from the circuit board by the fluid flow introduced by thecooling fan(s). Efficient power plant operation depends heavily on the interaction between fluidflow (working fluid) and the heat and work interactions associated with the fluid. There are anumber of other engineering applications where fluid flow plays a significant role and so thestudent training in these discipline areas should have access to a good fluid flow experimentalfacility. The most common fluid flow facility suitable for this purpose is a wind tunnel.Problems in aerodynamics, heat transfer

sustain economic growth. Just asthe space race in the 1960’s motivated political, educational, business, and thepopulation to act, so must today’s global brain race create a sense of urgency toaddress this issue. Concrete steps must be taken to curtail the tide. A change inemphasis must be enacted in K-12 as well as higher education with all the playersin STEM working together. Numerous efforts are being implemented across theUnited States to address the concern in K-12 and post secondary education. Someefforts have had limited success while others are making a bigger impact.However, we are not seeing a significant national effort or an urgent concern tiedto any of these independent initiatives. Therefore, the challenge must be posed:Have we
