Simplified CFD analysis of Scandies Rose without crab pots.ConclusionsIt is clear both from the Destination and Scandies Rose case studies that a new icing criterionshould be created to provide a conservative weight estimate and stability assessment of vesselsoperating in icing regions. The IMO and United States standards do not account for worst-casetopside icing conditions accurately – both in terms of quantity and location of ice build-up on thevessel.This case study, in the context of undergraduate education, allowed students to

Other critical studies include a study by Halupa & Bolliger8 that supported students’valuation of the feedback, and provided further data to illuminate students’ perceptions andpreferences that prevented them from engaging with the formative feedback provided byinstructors. Students’ perceptions do seem to correlate to their participation and interest aroundengaging with feedback in their courses. This may be due to the nature of written feedback asbeing perceived as a one-way (Stone9) experience from instructor-to-student, even though the actof reading is required to complete the feedback loop.

research undertaken at the time is presented. There wasmuch discussion about what was meant by liberal studies and much of what happened inthe colleges depended on how they (individually) interpreted the term. At one end of thespectrum they were considered to be an extension general education, while at the otherend, they were considered to be liberal education as traditionally defined. A distinctionwas made between subjects likely to be useful to the engineer (tool), and those distantfrom engineering (fringe). Tool/fringe subjects were to be distinguished from„cultural‟subjects. In the context of Rosalind Williams proposals, the social scienceswould be tool subjects. In her work there is no discussion of liberal education per se.Irrespective of
in probability, studies could be performed to developdensity (or distribution) functions as a function of one of the parameters based on the uniformrandom number generator found in VB. More sophisticated studies might be addressed bymodifying the simulation so that the random number generator has some other shape (e.g.,normal). Such a simulation may even be used in a Psychology course where the effects ofpsychological delay (as noted in the study) impact a driving strategy.Bibliography (1) Wolff, R.W., Stochastic Modeling & the Theory of Queues, Prentice-Hall, 1997 (2) Graduate Education & Research Services (GEARS), www.gears.aset.psu.edu/hpc/software/queue.

Inpatient services, outpatient services, andOR appear to be critical as well. Outside of the 622110 NAICS Sector Code it would appear thatseveral areas could benefit from
not closeto retirement. Our initial case study has been used in a graduate course with great interest fromthe students, in the guise of “Your aging professor needs advice.” The current series of casescould be given all at one time, but would likely be given over the course of several weeks for anundergraduate class. The instructor can limit the case if needed or can change variables so thatevery student has a slightly different situation. For a true case study, the instructor can also havethe students research and assemble the information needed for analysis. While there are manyways to specify the case study, there is one correct solution to any set of assumptions.References1. Eschenbach, Ted, Neal Lewis, and Yiran Zhang, “When to Start

aerospace and submarine applications. Both industriesrequire adherence to structured design processes. A study of such processes was performed inorder to structure the capstone process to introduce the students to the design culture they willlikely join upon graduation. As many processes are proprietary to the companies which use them,a suitable public-domain process was sought. The procedural requirements 8,9 of the NationalAeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) served as a template for the CCSU CET CapstoneProcess. The formal structure of the NASA process prepares the students for work on any numberof aerospace and/or military design projects.The shorter span of the two semester capstone projects and the focus on learning outcomes ratherthan
