The face to face section held class sessions on Tuesdayand Thursday from 2:00PM-3:15PM and had 37 students. The online section had 27 studentsand held Centra (online chat/ white board system) Q&A sessions at 6:00PM on Tuesday andWednesday with half the class targeted to each time period to assure manageable numbers.Blackboard was the course management system for both sections and all assignments weresubmitted online through the assignment feature.

Although it does an excellent job of presenting the essentialelements of each topic, it seems that it had been “written by committee.” Notation is inconsistent(“h” stands for either enthalpy or film coefficient, “Q” represents volumetric flow rate or heat,etc.). There are several topics for which the text does not provide the desired coverage(turbomachinery, numerical methods, Reynolds transport theorem, combustion, etc.); since thethree texts used previously were issued by the same publisher as the TFSE text, permission wasobtained for specific chapters from the three texts to be used in conjunction with the newcurriculum.

While Internet access is taken for granted on U.S. campuses, this may not be the case during a study abroad, and certainly was limited and expensive (30 to 50 cents per minute) on the Semester at Sea experience.

field which resulted in this. By seeing both the manifestation of a specified vector fieldand its associated equation, students were able to gain greater insight into the relationshipbetween the equations, operations, and manifestations of the fields they had been studying.Electromagnetics One daunting task for most students is to take an equation for a phenomenon and tellwhat it “means” or what it “does.” This is especially true in the area of electromagnetics, whereMaxwell’s equations have befuddled generations of students. Take for instance the equation forthe electrostatic field due to a point charge: r r r r q r -r

This estimatedvalue is in close agreement with values of the average heat transfer coefficient that have been foundfrom the experimental temperatures.Despite the relatively simple analytical model proposed, the actual physical situation is rather com-plicated. Effects such as (1) currents in the air which indicate forced (or mixed) convection, (2) aninteraction between the flow around the mounting plate and the fin, and (3) radiative heat transferbetween the mounting plate and the fin warrant additional consideration.References 1.

WinIQSIM does not provide flexibility to add additional modules to theblock diagram (as does Simulink and SystemView); but the real advantage to instruction is thatconcepts can be readily demonstrated without students having to perform any programming. Assuch, the author views this package as extremely powerful for undergraduate instruction.WinIQSIM is available as a free download through the Rohde & Schwarz website8.

To calculate the WQI, the values for each parameter areconverted to a numerical Q-value and are then multiplied by a weighting factor. These sub-totalsare then added together resulting in an overall WQI value ranging from 0-100.
