Then we analyze the differences inresponses students gave depending on whether they belonged to a first or a second year course.The last subsection focuses on the differences in responses of students according to gender.4.1.1 General results of the physics surveyThe general results of the survey are presented in Figure 1, in which there are 11 points(statements according to Table I).

This wide frequencyrange makes our system suitable for use in testing the very low frequency response rangeencountered in Controls and Electro-Mechanical Systems, as well as the medium and highfrequency ranges encountered in Vibrations, Acoustics, Ultrasonics, and in Electronics.1. IntroductionThis paper describes the design, operation and use of a PC controlled automated frequencyresponse measurement system using the standard bench-top test equipment available inundergraduate electronics laboratories.

As a final test, the angle of attack is increased for the rear wing to givemore downforce. This time the car was accelerated from 0 to 100 mph and the car generated 690 lbs. ofdownforce in the rear and 150 lbs. of lift in the front.TRACK TESTING and CONCLUSIONAt Gingerman Raceway in Michigan, one complete day of test driving was performed.

PISA [1] defines mathematical literacy as the capacity to identify, tounderstand, and to engage in mathematics and to make well-founded judgments about the rolethat mathematics plays, as needed for an individual’s current and future private life, occupationallife, social life with peers and relatives, and life as a constructive, concerned, and reflectivecitizen.

Similarly, while the general format of the discussion sessions followed the same basicquestions for both on-campus and distance students, additional material was sometimesintroduced organically by the instructor during the course of a discussion in response to specificstudent questions. Distance students did not have the benefit of these deviations/additions.Thus, conclusions about relative importance of class components for on-campus and distancestudents should be drawn with care and may be unique to this class setting.References [1] Cavalli, M.

Thrust profile for a sample solid engine [2].Figure 4 shows a cut-away engine and the flight sequences associated with each engine section.The powered phase of the flight lasts until the engine has consumed all its propellant. During thisphase, the model rocket accelerates and moves in response to the forces of thrust, gravity, dragand lift. In order for this phase of flight to be successful, the rocket must be stable. The fins playan important role in achieving stable flight when the rocket is momentarily deflected. Whendeflected, air moving over the fin travels faster than the air under the fin and lift is created. Thislift, generated by relative wind, causes the rocket to rotate so it
