The coursedirector utilized the textbook companion website by assigning questions associated with thereadings for each content lesson. The due dates for these assignments were consolidated intothree blocks aligned with the three major exams in the course, but organized by lesson, making itclear to which what reading assignment they were linked. Students had the option to eithercomplete the assignments as its associated lesson was taught, or wait until the end of the blockand complete all the assignments prior to the exam with the intent that these

needed forunderstanding the demonstration and the learning points for successfully completing thequestionnaire which the students filled out immediately following the lecture. The primaryteaching points are summarized in condensed form below. The lecture began by discussing the industrial revolution and the need for power sources to drive the machines which transformed our modern society. o Water wheels were replaced by generators and the electric motor, which is essentially a generator operated in reverse, began to drive the machines. o Wide-scale use of DC electric motors began in the late 1800’s. These motors take advantage of the properties of electric and magnetic fields. o Electric current flowing in a wire will

One such question fromFundamentals of Aerodynamics book by John Anderson [5] (which is adopted by most instructors as arequired textbook for aerodynamics course) is given below:Consider a NACA 2412 airfoil. The airfoil is flying at a velocity of 60 m/s at a standard altitude of 3 km.The chord length of the airfoil is 2m. Calculate the lift per unit span when the angle of attack is 4°.In this problem, students have to employ the equation of lift per unit span 𝐿′ 1 𝐿′ = 𝜌𝑉 2

making such biases visible to all students. It also creates the conditionsto go beyond mere equal divisions of work to equitable divisions of work, such that students whohave been excluded from certain types of roles on teams (e.g. technical or leadership) are able togain experience in those roles. As such, new assets in these areas are developed, which can thenbe employed and further developed in future work. This offers the possibility of a real materialovercoming of the effects of bias and stereotyping, and can begin to challenge and short-circuittheir reproduction. 14ReferencesBaron, A.
