More specifically, the Reynolds (Re) andStrouhal (Sr) numbers were calculated for cylinders of different diameters and different flowrates, and the results were compared with data from other investigators. Our resultsgenerally captured the trends present in the prior work, but our data contained a significantamount of scatter, and deviations were present.The wakes behind multiple obstructions, both cylindrical and non-cylindrical, are not as wellunderstood. For this reason, additional experiments were performed, analyzing onetriangular obstruction and two cylindrical and triangular obstructions in differentorientations. Computer

onhow we communicate within/across societies. Humanities and STEM education are currently siloed,limiting the connection between topics and fields. However, links between the humanities andSTEM can deepen students’ educational experiences. Exploring the links between STEM andhumanities, the Texas Tech University Honors College has developed an interdisciplinarycurriculum incorporating the arts and humanities and STEM. Unlike other iterations of thistechnique, namely STEAM, where arts are included to help promote more creative, innovativeproblem-solving, this approach uses the humanities as the foundation for STEM learning. We cointhis approach Humanities-Driven STEM (HDSTEM). HDSTEM education goes beyond creativethinking and problem-solving
