Without additional evidence, it would seem a validconjecture that any student difficulties which exist concerning rectilinear motion would continue tobe carried forward, further compounded by the inherent two-dimensionality of rotation about astationary axis adding layers of complexity to an already murky understanding of that rectilinearmotion.

Liberal Learning Revisited: A Historical Examination of the Reasons, Frustrations, and Continued Prospects for Engineering and Liberal Arts IntegrationAbstractIn December of 1968, the American Society for Engineering Education issued a report, LiberalLearning for the Engineer, directed by Sterling P. Olmstead. However, the Olmstead Report wasjust one in a series of organized studies, carried out within the society‟s well honed investigativetradition, which sought to bring about greater integration between engineering and liberaleducation. One subsequent study was the 1975 O. Allan Gianniny Report—which blunted thecritiques found in the 1968 Olmstead Report—while earlier studies included

. The first topic is steady-state three-phase inductionmotor theory. The presented motor theory is based on the equivalent circuit model.5 Thismodel requires rotor and stator resistances, rotor and stator leakage reactance, and the motormagnetization reactance parameters. Locked-rotor and no-load tests find these parameters.Solving the equivalent circuit model gives the rotor and stator currents as a function of motorslip, s. After rotor current is obtained, the rotor developed power and motors losses can be foundfor any operating point. The tutorial introduces the motor developed torque equation anddemonstrates how to plot the motor torque-speed curve from the developed power found fromthe equivalent circuit.Machine load factor and efficiency

). For overthree decades, many researchers conducted various conceptualization studies on PCK (Grossman1990; Cochran et al., 1993; Loughran et al., 2012; Van Driel et al., 1998; Gess-Newsome 1999;Magnusson et al., 1999; Hashweh, 2005; Abell, 2008; Park and Oliver, 2008; Kind, 2009). Amongthese models, Magnusson et al. (1999)’s PCK model has been widely used in pre-service and in-service teacher education. In these prior efforts, most of the studies have argued for threeknowledge domains: content (subject) knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and contextualknowledge were the basic domains affected by teachers’ PCK (Abell, 2008; Cochran et al., 1993;Gess-Newsome, 1999; Grossman, 1990). In our approach, we identified four knowledge domains by
