Pressure taps on the platform are connected to Dwyer Magnehelicpressure gauges via plastic hoses and multi-way valves. The incident jets are provided by airblowers, such as Jabsco Model 35440-Series and Peerless D8C model. The velocity field in thejets is measured by United Sensor Pitot-static probes.Fig. 4.

technological advances as well as the globalizationof businesses, economies and cultures in the twenty-first century, the importance of engineeringdisciplines and education has reached a critical state and prompted several examinations withinthe past few years. Although numerous studies and research on changing or restructuringengineering education have been conducted over the last century, many findings have remainedthe same over time, such as (a) what to include in the curricula, (b) how long engineeringeducation should be, (c) what level of specialization, (d) how to prepare students, and (e) how tomeet the needs of society.
