The indirect assessment of the first paper is extended through more studentsurveys, and a more direct assessment is performed based on graded student reports. Theseassessment results help decide how the equipment can be used in the best possible manner in theundergraduate curriculum.A second objective of the current paper is to extend the comprehensive technical analysis of theRC. Significant experimental work was performed to characterize the RC and its components.Multiple steady state runs were performed to determine the optimum operating point (i.e., theload at which turbine/generator

engineers andengineering by social scientists and engineers confirms that engineers believe in a uniformengineering culture. The engineering culture is a persistent concept; across a wide variety ofliteratures, similar values and practices of engineering culture are identified 24. The engineeringculture carries a strong image of an engineer as being a “tinkerer”. The insecurity felt by mostfemale engineering students and engineers were related to their technical abilities. Despite thefact that many engineering positions will not require any tinkering skills. Most students do nothave a clear idea of what engineers do on the job, and they are unable to make a connectionbetween what they are learning in college and what they will do as a practicing

A motto for the faculty has been: “Start small rather than not atall.” Courses were offered in the academic year 2004-05 by twenty-five different facultymembers. The courses and their S-L projects are listed in Table A1 in Appendix A. The Page 12.1275.4majority of the projects represent about 10-15% of the course, while some like capstone designwere 100% S-L driven, and others provided S-L extra credit worth only a few percent.Most of the same courses were offered in the fall of 2005 with some additions, as shown in TableA2, also in Appendix A.

Anything is acceptable but solving that particular exercise or problem (Mazur,1997).14In the end, oral answers accounted for 15% of the final mark, thus providing a reward forattending classes regularly since, naturally, only those who had not missed were there toanswer. The assigned exercises and problems (these were identifiable by a letter J at thebeginning of the text J for Joker) accounted for another 15% of the final grade. Problems hada higher value. The same groups formed for collaborative work handed in an assignment onfuel cells.
