, reflections were ignored as asource of information.Events were first categorized based on how convenient they were for the students to attend(Table 2). For instance, an event that did not require advanced planning on the part of thestudent and could be completed at any time (i.e. – reading and reviewing a technical paper) wascoded as “highly convenient” while a career fair that has a set date but drop-in hours was codedas “medium convenience”. Table 2 shows the number of reported events that fell into eachcategory. The vast majority of events in both years were low convenience events, indicating thatthe event took place on a set time and date.

Along with the general survey the committee wanted to talk to students directly, and partof the plan was to conduct a focus group of selected upper class students in each department tosurvey their feelings about potential program redesigns based on their experiences with theoriginal program.

The inherent nonlinearity of thepressure sensor output voltage with respect to the air speed provides an opportunity for studentsto apply theory and achieve very good results.4 The nonlinear nature of the probe also lends itselfwell to the use of an embedded lookup table to simplify its use.Managing a multi-year project involves a little forward-thinking and resource planning.

Thestudents planned (but had not indicated on the drawings) to drill and tap into the sides of theenclosures for mounting purposes. The sparse lattice fill within the hollow walls however wasnot strong enough to hold threads and the screws pulled out almost immediately. As a quickremedy, the students drilled out the failed holes and plugged them with polycaprolactone (PCL).Commercially sold as Shapelock or Instamorph [6,7], PCL is a plastic that is moldable attemperatures as low as 140 F, but hardens to a nylon like consistency when cooled.
