The measure for assessment is the CourseAssessment Form (CAF) (Form 2-a) where the course objectives and outcomes are listed andmapped to the program outcomes, as shown in Figure 3. The form lists three performancemeasures: students (S), Faculty (F), and Quantitative (Q).A) Measuring Course OutcomesThe course outcomes are measured using three indices: Student Assessment, FacultyAssessment, and Quantitative Assessment.

Å c m% w ÖPressure loss due to the throttle valve is found by multiplying the valve closure (%throttle) by aninput change in pressure per %-closed value. A conditional check was included to ensure thepressure does not go below zero. Currently it is assumed that the valve is isenthalpic (constantenthalpy) and that the exit temperature is the saturation temperature at the exit pressure.There was not an easy way to determine the power out of the Variac as a function of controlknob position (%Variac). Therefore, the power delivered ( Q% input ) is computed from the knob Page 11.461.7position and a power per % knob position value. The

The computer programming task (two week session) is to have the robot write aword (student’s name) on an 8 ½ by 11 inch sheet of paper. Students’ evaluation survey, collectedwith the lab reports at the end of lab sections, plays an important role of “closing the loop” instudents’ experiential learning process.

review of the current literature revealed no one standard for comparing students according totheir attendance to multiple exam reviews. Considering the lack of a consistent n-value for examreview attendance, we defined the “exam” group as students attending 2 or 3 collaborative mockexam reviews and the “no exam” group attending 1 or none. We considered attending one examreview as not receiving the intervention, as the student would have completed the structured,timed retrieval practice only once, which would most likely not produce significant learninggains.Definitions Used in StudyThe following terms utilized in this study are defined according to the authors’ and theuniversity’s use: ● Q-Drop: students may leave a course after the 12​th

visualize pipe flow also in terms of mass balance andintroduces how the continuity equation (Q=V×A) plays a pivotal role in understanding what isoccurring throughout the system. Since mass is conserved, as water moves through a pipesystem (assuming no leaks), mass balance parameters will dictate that the flowrate must remainconsistent even as changes of A and V occur. As Q is increased, we must increase the velocity offlow and/or the size of pipe. For a specified Q, flow can be increased by reducing pipe size.Conversely, velocity can be decreased by increasing pipe size. Essentially, the continuityequation is just the conservation of mass in terms of volumetric flow. Mass does not appear inthe equation though because water is an incompressible

However it isintroduced, it is by relatively simple extensionthat the biology-oriented property of thermalconductance is introduced. As illustrated inTable 3, thermal conductance is used todescribe the heat-retaining capabilities ofbiological species, particularly hair- and fur-bearing animals. Whereas heat flow, Q, isrelated to thermal conductivity, k, cross-sectional area, A, and a temperature gradient,dT/dy, according to the following equation Q = -kA(dT/dy)the same quantity is related to thermal
