One experiment in engineeringmeasurements (system behavior) and one experiment in fluid dynamics were developed. In eachcase, students working on teams were posed with a scenario and question to answer. Forexample, in the system dynamics experiment, students were asked to verify that a thermal systemand electrical system were mechanically equivalent systems. In the fluid dynamics experiment,students were asked to investigate drag
