addressed public accessibility tothe only maintenance break area through construction of a timber bridge to replace thedeteriorated foot bridge that had carried workers across an intermittent stream. With the loss ofthe previous foot bridge, the break/smoking area was accessed by walking along the busy motorpool entrance road (safety) to the vehicle bridge crossing the stream (time). The narrowvehicular bridge, which is located on a sharp bend in the road, is over 50 yards from themaintenance facility while the break area is located a mere 10 yards away on the other side of thestream.Key educational benefits gained by the students who completed it include grappling with real-world constraints, solving substantial engineering problems, dealing with

In other words, it is a different form of showingtheir work as they would in multivariable calculus.

No separate dynamometer is needed to extract power curves.This technique has already been used successfully by researchers to characterize tiny diskturbines10 and disk turbines for space applications.11 We adapt it here for educational purposes.Critical to our technique is determination of turbine rotational inertia.
