over the chip. The camera plugs into the USB portof a PC and produces videos (30 frames/s) of fluid flow. The magnification ranges from 10X to500X. Other camera types and set-ups are of course workable as well, including higher-endconsumer CCD cameras. The quantification of flow rate can be made adding a graduated scale inthe image, such as with a thin plastic ruler placed along the flow channel which shows theposition of the flow front in each frame along with the time for that frame. From this analysis,the flow velocity can be accurately determined as a function of time. A common analysisobjective is to determine the pressure drop ∆𝑃 between two points as a function of flow rate Q orfluid velocity v. ∆𝑃 = 𝑓

then meas-ure the temperature change of heated water pumped through the artificial skin. The rate of heat transfer isproportional to the exposed surface area (q=hA∆T). Yet, students tend to equate surface area with vol-ume, limiting their ability to enhance heat transfer by increasing surface area. Therefore, in addition tostudying the heat transfer across the artificial skin, the students will also create a second skin with an un-branched channel of an approximately equal volume, and then compare the resulting heat exchange. Atthis level, the module can be completed by lowerclassmen in our lower-level Engineering Clinic se-quence. In specialized heat transfer courses (e.g. junior-level Heat Transfer Processes), we will also in-corporate
generate and solve linearcircuit analysis problems, which accepts a rich variety of student inputs. Three tutorials usingthe software have been implemented. Laboratory based studies show a statistically significantand large (~1.21 standard deviation) increase in student learning as a result. Further work willfocus on expansion and completion of this system.AcknowledgmentThis work was supported by the National Science Foundation through the TransformingUndergraduate Education in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Program underGrant No. DUE-1044497.

relationships and in particular how the brain supports processes of vision and attention.The assignment was to read the provided materials and submit three or more questions for Dr.Appelbaum, who was the guest speaker in class the following week. Dr. Appelbaum’s lecture,“Reverse Engineering the Brain: Primer for EEG and BCI approaches”, provided an introductionto electroencephalography (EEG) signal and data collection, and brain computer interfacetechniques. In addition to providing some general technical background and a discussion of someof the challenges often encountered, Dr. Appelbaum discussed some of his research on visualattention. The lecture was followed by a lively Q&A session.Stage 2 (Restatement) and Stage 3 (Relation to Engineering
. The equipment must be constructed in less than 2 months. Please explain your solution as clearly and completely as possible.
