Two activities were designed forReversibility.Both activities designed for Reversibility involve computer simulations and are meant to clearlyshow that most realistic situations are irreversible. There is a Mixing Simulation and a PumpSimulation.

IntroductionPolymeric films are used in numerous applications where low sliding friction surfaces arerequired, e.g., high speed packaging equipment and low-friction tape wraps. Typical methods ofreducing the apparent sliding friction of polymeric surfaces are: (a) the use of liquid lubricantssuch as silicone oil or erucamide, (b) powdered solid lubricants such micro-sized starch or talc,and (c) fluoropolymers additives1, 2, 3. Studies on modifying the coefficient of friction (COF) byadding different chemicals have been previously reported1, 2. Such chemical moieties arepartially transferred from the film to other surfaces upon contact, and may contaminate thosesurfaces. Therefore, in this study, the sliding friction of micro-textured isotactic

Page 23.132.2Research has shown that, on average, undergraduates leave STEM fields for academic and socialreasons.4,5 Other empirical evidence consistently shows that college student success isinfluenced, at least in part, by social and psychological factors such as support/encouragement,campus climate, and personal interest in STEM. For example, Seymour conducted a three-yearstudy of 330 STEM undergraduates and concluded that students leave STEM because: (a) theybelieve that non-STEM careers offer greater intrinsic interest, (b) they lose interest in STEM, or(c) they reject the lifestyle associated with STEM careers.4 Family, peer, faculty member, andmentor support affects academic achievement,6 especially among AA males7 and URMs inSTEM
