innovationsaddressed in SFIP. This statistical analysis is relevant because if it could be proven that thesefactors do not have statistical significance (after they have been averaged), then the surveyresults would suggest that faculty variation might be less of an influence on outcomes than somepeople might think. The statistical analysis was set up as a “Hypothesis test on means of normal distribution –variance unknown” using Student’s t-test [24]. The test was performed on the means of all sevenquestions in the survey. The results of the 2012, 2013 and 2014 SFIP groups were categorized asthe “population mean (μ0)” while the results of the 2015 SFIP group were categorized as “samplemean (X)” and “sample standard deviation (S)”.

solution process is more important than the finalproduct.”Barrows4, doing research in the medical education field in the 1980’s, stated that problem-basedlearning can have many different meanings, depending on the skills of the teacher and theeducational learning objectives being pursued. In the medical field, existing cases taken from themedical research literature are an important part of the educational process. Barrows saw that ataxonomy was needed to help differentiate the many types of case-based learning processespossible. The taxonomy ranges from cases explained mostly via lecture, through looking at acase from beginning to end, applying lessons learned, and starting back at the beginning of thecase again, to see is a different approach to

Sensing (S) or Intuition (N). The third categoryis about the way one takes decisions. Does he/she base decision on logic and consistency(Thinking (T)) or on people and circumstances (Feeling (F))? The last category is about howpeople deal with the outside world. Do they prefer to get things decided (Judging (J)) or stayopen to new information and options (Perceiving (P))? When the preference in each category isrecorded, the personality type is expressed as a code with four letters, one from each of the fourcategories. That leads to sixteen different personality types. This test is widely used in Americancompanies to form teams and it is used more than twenty years to form engineering designteams.12 However, some studies have shown that the Myers

The homework exercises provided here have been well-received bystudents and allow them to see the integrated effects of the components of a plant to its overallperformance. Even aspects of nuclear power are introduced using student-written computersolutions to generate numerical results as opposed to rote learning from a textbook or from aslide presentation in class. The calculation aspect of presenting the material in this way holdsstudent interest and gives them a more foundational understanding of the physical effects ofvarying system parameters.References[1] S.
