improvement over the Mollier diagram which does not include the subcooled region. ● T-s diagrams which are often used for qualitative steam cycle analysis are not useful in the subcooled region since compressing liquids results in a very small entropy change. As pointed out in [8], the increase in temperature and entropy for non-isentropic pumps is often grossly exaggerated on qualitative T-s diagram illustrations.The Naval Academy’s Introductory Thermodynamic CurriculumAll Naval Academy graduates, regardless of major, are awarded a Bachelor of Science degreeupon graduation.

Establishment of a New Engineering Program Mark A. Pagano, School of Engineering and Technology, University of Washington Tacoma, and Michael S. Sullivan, Arifacts, Inc. Tacoma, WA USA Abstract – In today’s world, “place” is an ever increasingelement of almost every known culture and geographic region.Research also shows that place-based education (PBE) can fostera student’s connection to place and help them better understandthe need to take care of the world. We therefore believe that itshould be a critically important factor in the building andestablishment of any new engineering program. Place wasdefinitely an important factor in 1989 when the State ofWashington committed itself to

instance, Figure 2 shows that the combined set of students getting ‘A’and ‘B’ in Spring semesters of 2024, 2023 and 2022 is nearly the same, although the failure rate ishigher in 2022 (21% in 2022 v/s 16% in 2024). The reason for this could be that students justreturned to in-person class in 2022, after covid.On comparing performance of students in Fall 2021 and 2022 (Figure 3), it is observed that agreater percentage of students were top performers than in spring [30% getting ‘A’ in fall 2022versus 17% in Spring 2022]. This could be due to students who attend summer classes of calculusand physics at OSU in summer, before enrolling in statics for the fall, making them better equippedto perform well.

The path to decarbonization will include a variety of energy feedstocks andsystems, likely tailored to local geographies, cultures, and resources.

the case of project appropriateness or scope creep, challenges were largelyattributed to a lack of mutual understanding between the industry sponsor and the capstoneteam. POPs were tasked with bridging this gap by introducing a more formalized projectcharter format as part of the project identification process. It is comprised of four distinctparts: 1. Background of problem/opportunity that introduces the company and area of interest 2. Destabilizing condition that describes the adverse effects of the problem or the nature of the opportunity 3. Consequences of not solving the problem or acting upon the opportunity 4. The desired outcome(s), without necessarily identifying the solution deliverables By discussing and

. The lesson will be evaluated using a pre-test, a post-test, and a survey of 25 students. Student feedback indicates that the use of GeoGebra software,the angle addition simulator, and hands-on tools like protractors significantly enhanced theirengagement and comprehension of geometric concepts, making learning more interactive andeffective. Overall, this study aims to demonstrate that the designed tools positively impactstudents' learning in angle measurement.AcknowledgementThis material is based upon work supported by the Research Experiences for Teachers Programunder National Science Foundation award no. 2206953.
