15.680.7Figure 4 shows that there was a slight increase in the scores on the spectroscopy question in Fall2009. However, it is hard to tell what is occurring, since the scores vary so much from year toyear. For this reason, we “normalized” the scores by dividing the score from the spectroscopyquestion by the score from the calculation question (Table 1). If, for example, class A did poorlyon both questions (i.e. 10 on both, out of 25) and class B did well on both (20), we may unfairlysay that class B was the better class and the teaching practices implemented within that classwere more desirable and well suited to the students. By normalizing, we would see that class Aand B were equal (1) and no conclusions about who had the better teaching practices

Students also write a detailed design report as part ofthe course requirements.Students are assigned to select a project in the area of (a) Manufacturing Process System Designor (b) Product Design.The scope of the work in format (a) may be summarized as follows: 1. Design a simple product using available resources of our CIM facility. 2. Design and develop an automated manufacturing process using CIM facility. 3.

After the draining is complete and the data logging is stopped, the jet lengthvalues, L, are extracted from the images captured by the digital camera (step c). The pressuretransducer values are converted to depth (step d).
