The sample size is relatively small, but isbelieved to be sufficient for most statistical analysis conducted in this study. In general, program participants are satisfied with this program. One question in the end-of-program survey asks students to rate their overall experience: 51% (18 out of 35) respond thatthey are "highly satisfied", 46% (16 out of 35) are "satisfied", none are "partially satisfied", and3.0 % (1 out of 35) choose "not satisfied".

Punctuality has a different context for Native Americans and therefore content intensive sessions should be rear loaded. 3. Attitude toward learning – lack of motivation. This could be from their socio-economic background. 4.

Piping systemsare characterized as series, parallel, or network [1]. Generally, piping systems with componentsin series are examined first and solutions are classed as Category I (find the increase in head of apump), Category II (find the flow rate in a system), and Category III (find the appropriate pipediameter, if it exists, for a given situation).
