Learning Differential-Equation Aspects of Fluid Mechanics with Spreadsheet-Facilitated Computational Fluid Dynamics Jean-Pierre Delplanque and Robert J. Kee Division of Engineering Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO 804011 IntroductionIt is well known that continuum fluid flow is described at its most fundamental level by theNavier-Stokes equations, a system of nonlinear, second-order, partial differential equations.In spite of this solid foundation, the equations themselves are sufficiently difficult to under-stand and solve that they are often introduced only superficially in fluid-mechanics courses.Because it is difficult to connect mathematical

The Motor Assessment Battery for Children – Second Edition (MABC-2) isa standardized motor assessment for identifying motor delays pertaining to ASD. It evaluatesfine and gross motor tasks across three domains: Manual Dexterity, Aiming & Catching, andBalance. These tasks are categorized into three age bands: 3-6, 7-10, and 11-16. Virtual Reality(VR) has emerged as a promising intervention in the ASD realm. This study aimed to investigatethe potential of VR to

The lack of integration among courses only reinforces thistendency. To combat this tendency, we initiated a novel pedagogical approach to laboratoryinstruction, which we call “process dissection and reintegration”. Under such an instructionalmethodology, we dissect a unit operation

These in turn necessitate a properframing of risk, which requires a ‘set of triplets’ to be understood – (i) a scenario in which athreat exploits a vulnerability, (ii) the likelihood, and (iii) the impact of the scenario takingplace. While the other elements of risk triplets are relatively easy to assess, the threat factorremains the most elusive. The
