UGA’s Franklin College Writing Intensive Program (WIP)administers the process by which courses acquire the “W” suffix (i.e., BIOE 2100W) andstipulates what is expected of such courses: The W suffix is used for courses taught as writing intensive, which means that the course includes substantial and ongoing writing assignments that a) facilitate learning; b) teach the communication values of a discipline — for example, its practices of argument, evidence, credibility, and format; c) support writing as a process; and d) prepare students for further writing in their

. Individual grades are from engineering notebooks.While the two-semester format provides a better design experience, it does create limitations forthe students and the department. a. The rising seniors who fail pre-requisite courses for senior design must pass these courses no later than the summer preceding the fall semester. If such courses are not offered at the university and their equivalent courses are not offered at other universities in the summer, the students will delay their graduation by one year. b.

Each team measured 2 x 500 ml of algaeculture into two flasks with stir bars then added the corresponding flocculant and stirred. After 30minutes, students transferred the mixtures to graduated cylinders to settle the flocs for 30minutes. They measured the OD for each reaction using a SDD after flocculation. The followingequation was derived to calculate flocculation efficiency: A is the initial OD and B is the ODafter flocculation: Flocculation efficiency % = (1- (A/B)) x 100) [9]. Flocculated algae

) (b) Figure 1. “Non-ideal” experiment: (a) equipment and (b) a snippet of the lab procedure.The standard low-frequency model of a resistor is a pure resistance whose impedance isindependent of frequency. In reality, however, the leads on the sides of the resistor form acapacitance which provides a non-negligible path for current to be diverted at frequencies above1 kHz [6, 7]. Students begin to “see” this otherwise “hidden” (parasitic) path when, at highfrequencies, measured current increases while the applied voltage remains constant.A similar effect appears when the students perform the same measurements on a 1-mH inductor.The data resembles Figure 2(b). For this experiment, between 5 kHz and 10 kHz, the reactanceof the lead-capacitance

7 the interactions between control loops can be mitigated somewhat sothat each loop is slightly underdamped to overdamped in response to a setpoint change. Giventhat the system is nonlinear there still may be quite a lot of tweaking of control parameters for oneor more of the control loops. There are trade offs in performance versus magnitude of disturbancesthat may be caused in the other control loops. It is important for the students to realize that thereis no single set of ideal tuning parameters. Always there will be trade offs between performanceand robustness and how large a magnitude interactions between loops is acceptable. For someprocesses product may still be of good quality even though a setpoint has not been quite reached A. B
