significant communityoutreach, the benefits of community service may also be smaller or at least less tangible to thefaculty member. The primary benefit to the faculty member of most profession-relatedcommunity service is increased visibility of the individual, program, and university. One neverknows where such increased visibility may lead, and so what might seem as a relatively minoractivity on the part of the faculty member may reap large rewards in the future. For example,someone who gives a talk on engineering at a local high school may inspire a student to studyengineering at their university and that student may want to work on a research project in thefuture with the faculty member who gave the talk.

It showed how individuals speech- and movement-impaired by cerebral palsy or autistic spectrum disorder could communicate, work, and enjoylife. A class assignment was to write down their initial assessment of the quality of life ofsomeone in the film before the film was shown and immediately after it finished. The “before”question was asked while a freeze-frame of a young adult with no arm control and in a wheel-chair was being projected. The “after” question wanted that same assessment, but also

gathering, and also the aspect of a friendly competition during the second phase of the project where they predict and then measure the flow for a modified geometry. 2. In the initial deployments of the exercise, the students were asked to calculate skin friction factor values from the experimental results, and then compare them with values used in the corresponding analytical calculations. This step often seemed to lead to some confusion about which friction factor value should be used for what purpose. As a result, the volume flow rate itself is now used as the basis of comparison between the theoretical calculation and the experiment. The students still need to call upon their knowledge of viscous flow
