relied upon the following values: 2.80 × 10−4 T for B, as predictedby the magnetic field model; 350 V for Vb , a value chosen to be in the same area as was used inBaird’s thruster, 6 ; and 35 eV for Te , as Goebel stated that one tenth of the operating voltage is areasonable estimate for electron temperature. 5Using these values, we computed re = 0.83 mm and ri = 61 cm as the maximum and minimumallowable lengths of our channel. While both of these proved to be much more forgiving than themore practical constraints of what we thought we could manufacture, the computation was avaluable exercise in computing and designing for theoretical constraints. Given these reasonabledesign parameters, we were content with the strength of our magnetic field

explicitly encouraged.NEO presents the holistic benefits of the skills TAs are learning, not just for their role as a TA,and use this as a framing for the whole training program. We approach the design of NEO withthe perspective that if we can help TAs develop skills to succeed in their own goals that they willhave more capacity to help their students succeed. More than simply training and onboarding, wepresent new TAs with these perspectives so they have the tools to mindfully approach their workas instructors, graduate students, members of the engineering and scientific communities, andabove all, as human beings. Further study is required to determine effectiveness of the training.Sources[1] Meyers, Chet, and Thomas B. Jones. Promoting Active

Students were divided into threesubgroups, A, B, and C, of three to four students to generate questions. Each subgroup selectedtheir priority questions; then the whole class classified the priority questions according tocommon themes. As a follow-up, students were assigned homework giving

Therefore, EAC Criterion 3, Student Outcome 2 requires multiplePerformance Indicators to encompass all these characteristics.The second challenge is the design of experiments. The legacy student outcome (b) required that “students design andconduct experiments.” This was a challenge because Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering students do not oftendesign experiments. To achieve this outcome, experimentation was often artificially introduced in the curriculum. Thenew EAC Criterion 3, Student Outcome 6 more reasonably

Homework sets were designed to provide students with practice applyingconcepts and problem-solving strategies to help prepare them for the exams. The first two examsconsisted of two versions (A and B), each having the same problems with various dimension andload values changed. Students in each section randomly received either an A version or a Bversion. The third exam was taken by all students at the same time in the same room. The examconsisted of two versions but with the same problems presented in a different order.
