The program must be able to simply solve problems such as HW9-1, HW9-2, related example problems in the book, and former exam questions on nozzles. In addition to posting the program, you must also supply a one-page manual that explains how to use the program effectively. Your group will be graded on the items given below. The project is worth 7% of your final grade. Graded Items (10 points each) A) ____ Accuracy of calculations upstream of shock B) ____ Accuracy of calculations across of shock C) ____ Accuracy of calculations downstream of shock D

Figure 1 shows a typical numerical question for year-13 physics.Figure 1: OASIS question for Year-13 Physics.The answers for all variations of each question are already stored in the question database.Consequently, marking generally involves comparison rather than calculation and poses onlya minimal load on the computer. Even though some multi-part questions are markedconsequentially, involving a somewhat greater load, a few thousand concurrent users couldbe comfortably handled by any current mid-range home-office

First, the students were given a survey that asked the following two questions: (Q1)“Which fault(s) intersect(s) with the wellbore?” (Q2) “Was identifying if the drill trajectoryintersects the faults easy?” Question 1 was a multiple-choice question with the followingoptions: (A) Green Fault (B) Red Fault (C) Neither (D) Both. The correct answer for thisquestion was A. The plot in Figure 7 shows the results for both Q1 and Q2. Figure 7: Part 3: Q1 & Q2 survey results The results show that 50% of the students answered the question correctly using Exceland 100% of the students answered correctly using the virtual teaching aid.

Throughout these semesters usingSTEM-BDP, we have updated several aspects of the initial version of this method.For instance, survey questions asked at the end of EEL-3801 in Fall 2018 semester are shown inFigure 7.1. It shows the results for the 99 respondents out of the 126 students who were enrolled.According to these results, the majority of the students have a positive outlook towards differentphases of STEM-BDP.

longitudinal integration of computational modules across the sophomore andjunior years was intended to reinforce student awareness of computation, build confidence inusing computational tools, and cement the idea of computation as the third pillar of sciencealongside experiment and theory. Accordingly, we expected that this integration would (a) makeabstract theoretical concepts more accessible, (b) promote active learning and hands-onengagement, and (c) develop student competency in computational materials science softwaretools.The second aim of this effort was to develop a new senior-year computational materials scienceelective MSE 498AF.

Depending on the estimated execution time, the schedule method sends the jobs into queue P1, P2, P3 or P4 as described in Section 2. These are the waiting queues of the multiprocessor system, where the jobs are awaiting for the execution. b. run() When the scheduler determines that resources are available for the first job in a ready queue, it moves the job to the Execute Queue.

The new format would be unacceptable if learning outcomes were vastly differentbetween traditional lecture courses and the blended distance learning course.

This studyutilized Felder Silverman Learning Style model [20] and an instrument known as Index ofLearning Styles (ILS) that is used to measure LS of individuals [21]. The ILS is an onlinequestionnaire (empirically validated for its reliability and construct validity [22]) that consists of44 questions where each dimension has 11 questions. A brief description of four LS dimensionsis described in Figure 1(a). The LS score of an individual across four dimensions is denoted by‘X’ on the top of a category as shown in Figure 1(b).
