Finally,they write a one-page executive summary and publish their report online.I provide a number of self-checked exercises, as well as some discussion in lecture, of thedifferent elements of this exercise, but students need to assemble the different elements andpresent a coherent report.

the experiments was accompanied by a theoretical development of theimportant correlations that should be considered in analyzing the data. Furthermore, theexperiments worked very well, giving reasonable agreement between the experimental resultsand the results from applying the correlations. One of these simple experiments was the drainingof a small tank through a sharp-edged orifice and the calculation of the discharge coefficient, CD,from either a steady state or transient experiment. Although the demonstration unit was veryeffective as a learning tool, the operation really worked best in a steady state overflow mode,where water from a hose was continually fed to the tank and allowed to overflow the top of thetank and into an overflow

The problems will contain the use of the actualfunctions where students only use a calculator to calculate the first three termsgiven in the trigonometric formulas.Note: The use of the actual trigonometric functions are used to show that youdon’t need a calculator, but the calculator is then used for the remainder ofthe course. The purpose of this paper is not to replace the calculator, but to 1show students that a formula can be used and this takes the mystery out of thetrigonometric functions.Future Survey Data CollectionAt this point I have had considerable positive feedback on this method throughverbal

The event is the culmination of their work –each of the bridges is tested to failure, with the strongest bridges earning cash prizes provided byFMEC. For the sponsors, the goal is to engage as many students as possible in a learning activitythat: A) requires the student to design to meet constraints, B) allows for interaction withpracticing engineers, and C) offers tangible rewards for design success.HISTORY In 1974, Charles Martin, MSUM’s director of Pre-engineering and a member of FMEC,proposed the concept of a competition as a part of the club’s E-Week activities.

A unique feature of the process is obtaining input from both universityfaculty and industry professionals as to the learning outcomes/levels that program should attemptto achieve. This therefore, would maximize the student’s opportunities upon graduation byproviding them options to either continue their education at a Baccalaureate degree level or enterthe workforce with employable skills.

Students are required to use their MCNP5/X results to write a simulated conference proceeding (American Nuclear Society transaction). This focus on results and publication seeds a methodology for the remainder of the two-semester capstone experience. Students become MCNP5/X5 experts using the code for feasibility studies, validation, and in some cases critical calculations for their design project. This paper discusses the MCNP5/X thread, the rationale for its methodology, an assessment of its effectiveness, and future modifications to the learning model. Key words: MCNP, monte carlo transport

Of the 47 students enrolled in EGME 331, 39 chose toparticipate in the survey, and of the 43 students enrolled in EGME 438, 40 participated. Here Iwill present and discuss the results.The first thing I wanted to know—as one of those students who came out of his formal educationscratching his head—was whether my students felt that they had achieved a better understandingof what tensors were. To that end, I asked them a series of Likert scale questions, which included“Before taking this class, I understood what tensors were,” and “After taking this class, Iunderstand what tensors are.” The results are shown in Figure 2.It can be seen from Figure 2
