The problemgeneration process begins by selecting the fluid, entrance type, and pipe material. The entrancelocation is considered to be the reference location for the system elevation, and the materiallimits the pipe sizes that can reasonably be considered.Next, the pipe diameter(s) are randomly selected.

instructional aspects communicated to the students; (2)provide clear organization of all teaching and learning updates; and (3) disseminate anyinstruction-related issues to the specific individual(s) or to the teaching team efficiently andeffectively.IntroductionNorth American universities have cohesive and established frameworks for the employment ofgraduate teaching assistants [4]. A very few universities, like McMaster University, employ bothteaching assistants (TAs) and instructional assistant interns (IAIs) along with instructors for acourse.With all university classes transitioning online from face-to-face, employing more teachingassistants might prove helpful, particularly for incoming first-year students whose needsoutweigh those of students
to leave engineering after their first year, half of thestudents remained at the University and selected a major in a different college and half left theUniversity altogether. While we do not want to keep students in a degree program that they arenot passionate about, we hope to continue to increase support for any student who struggles andencourage them to stick with engineering if it is the right choice for their future.References[1] Darbeheshti, M., & Schupbach, W., & Lafuente, A.

foundsimply by typing in the known values. In reality, computerized thermodynamics tables havebeen in use since the 1960’s as the printed tables used in thermodynamics textbooks from thattime forward have been based on a computer solution to a many variable fundamentalthermodynamic function. As an example, when the author was an undergraduate student takingThermodynamics I and II, along with the textbook, students were expected to obtain a copy of“Steam Tables” by Keenan, Keyes, Hill, and Moore1. A large part of the instruction in the useof such printed tables was always related to the act of interpolating between table entries todetermine property values at temperature and/or pressure values between those presented in thetable.

However, for manysubjects, the traditional lecture format is required to maintain satisfactory progress throughcourse topics. The lecture videos can be used by students after in-class lectures to reviewdifficult ideas and also to review and prepare for exams.
