In thisexample, when the experimental run reaches 3280 s (column A) the pump signal changes from0.0100 amps to 0.0105 amps (column B). This action leads to a change in the flow rate from1.453 lpm to 1.619 lpm (column D), forcing the system to depart from the previous state in theliquid level at 5.76 cm

must decide on an outcome. Forexample, one dilemma has students choose a material for a piece of equipment that is either (i)expensive (and safer and lasts longer) or (ii) inexpensive (and less safe and lasts for a shorterperiod). The student states their preference for the dilemma outcome (either option A, B or cannotdecide), and then they respond to ~9-11 follow-up questions where the student ranks theimportance of each question (from great importance to not important) in their decision making.For example, one question from the above dilemma asks students to rate the importance ofpotential safety risks to the employees regarding the choice of the material. These follow-upquestions were designed based on Kohlberg’s three stages of development
