This was the first wind tunnel Page 15.594.3that could operate at pressures higher than atmospheric, which allowed higher Reynolds numbersto be achieved at lower velocities. By the 1940’s supersonic wind tunnels were in use, eventhough Chuck Yeager had not yet broken the sound barrier. In 1972 a cryogenic wind tunnel wasbuilt at NASA Langley by injecting liquid nitrogen into the wind tunnel to cool the gas. Thislowered the viscosity and increased the Reynolds number, and this tunnel had the capability tomatch Reynolds and Mach numbers simultaneously up to Mach 1.2. Today the largest

Each TA was responsiblefor developing the laboratory procedures, administering a pre-laboratory quiz, providing the pre-laboratory instructions and monitoring the progress of the students during the laboratory. Theinstructors and the TA‟s all had office hours during the week to assist the students withquestions. All materials for all labs were available via a dedicated BlackBoard internet site, andstudents were able to use this online site to communicate with labmates, instructors and TA‟s,check their grades, and upload their assignments.

[The definition of “technologically literate” herelikely entails being literate to some degree in the S, M and T&E.] Leaving the teachingeffectiveness benefits aside, a population of technologically literate K-5 teachers, and Page 15.1194.2presumably their K-5(8) students, should enable technological literacy instruments to bebetter designed and calibrated. This has broad implications. Measurements of technologicalliteracy in MST and non-MST teacher populations could
