as well, so that the spread in the class grade distribution became quitelarge. As the above assignment started (after Drop Day, which comes past the middle of thesemester), there were many questions asked in class about the prospects for supersonic flight.One feature of the final reports is that even the students who did not pay much attention to theassignment, actually did some exploration and rationalization regarding hydrogen-fueledsupersonic airliners. The best assignments reflected superlative independent thinking andexploration, (“superlative” is not defined as “agreeing with instructor!”). Before going into theirown approach they sought and found relevant references from the literature and actually readthrough them to a good level of

This suggests that educators and consultants values are very similar. It wasfound that between 2 and 4 of the 15 values were determined to have mean weights that are notequal in each of the other comparisons. It is interesting to note that educators’ values aregenerally reflected by the students’ values. The two exceptions to this are the values of “ease ofoperation” and “dependability of the process

These responses demonstrate an affective response towardstudents, as opposed to emerging and reform-based responses, where the student is viewed ashaving a critical voice in classroom decisions and construction of knowledge (Roehrig & Kruse,2005). Table 1 represents the number of times each instructor had a response that was coded ineach of the five categories.

generation.NASA APPEL “Seven Axioms of Good Engineering (SAGE)” course:NASA has learned tragically from its own past that engineering accomplishments require morethan good technical skills. They require a strong dose of engineering wisdom, as well. Suchwisdom is gained by appreciating historical achievements and understanding past mistakes. Asthe Scottish author, Samuel Smiles once wrote: “We learn wisdom from failure much more thanfrom success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably hewho never made a mistake never made a discovery.”1The Seven Axioms of Good Engineering course takes a reflective look at numerous case studies,both from within NASA and the outside world, to discover where the root causes of most

The design project alsorequires students to evaluate and reflect on not only their own work, but the work of theircolleagues in the class as well. The skills of synthesis and evaluation later becomecrucial as students progress through their years as upperclassmen and enter the researchor industrial fields. My own experience in undergraduate research and advancedengineering courses, particularly the senior design course, has clearly demonstrated this. The design project also fosters the development of communication skills in youngengineers. By working in diverse design groups of 4-6 students as part of a discussionsection of ~30

The second was the regular reflection of an oblique shock wavefrom a wall.The other two problems supplemented the examples found in the textbook used for this course.The solution for one dimensional flow with friction and a normal shock wave was presented forone of the problems. This illustrated the solution of a problem with multiple compressible flowfeatures. The other example problem considered was the solution of a normal shock wave for

Students typically are given course descriptions andprerequisite skills lists to assess and reflect on their preparedness, then either encouraged tonarrow their skills gaps on their own or be mentored personally by an advisor.One common transition-enhancing practice is the use of a placement exam to demonstrate clearlyfor the student areas and levels of skills weaknesses or „gaps‟ they will need to revisit beforeembarking on their +2 curriculum.

A digital replica of the echo signaly(n) is estimated by filtering the received far end signal with estimated AIR w(n) which is thensubtracted from the observed microphone signal. The AEC is usually realized on a digital signalprocessor (DSP) which implies digital-to-analog conversion of the received far-end signal andanalog-to-digital conversion of the microphone signal. Since the echo path is unknown and,moreover, can change during the operation time, the linear filter has to be realized adaptively. Estimated room impulse response 0.7
