Table 2 describes the requirements to earn aparticular base letter grade (A, B, C, etc.). All requirements for a grade had to be met in order toearn that grade. A course grade of “F” was earned if the requirements for a “D” were not met. Agrade checklist was also provided to students to help them track their progress.Table 2: Course Grade Requirements To earn Accomplish the following: this grade: A Earn passing scores on 15 quizzes, including at least 11 "E" scores, AND earn passing scores on project report

alsoprovided sample cores for inspection and testing.Project specificationsIn order to successfully design an alucore testing machine, a team of ME and EE studentsredefined the problem, made sure that they understand the customer’s needs, and determined theproject specifications as precisely as possible. The major considerations that students agreedupon with the industry partner were as follows: 1. Alucore tube information a. Logan Aluminum produces approximately 150 cores per hour b. The test will need to be run once every 50 cores c. OD sizes of cores are 15.93 and 19.93 in d. The length of the cores varies from 10.5 to 61.00 in 2. General requirements a.

This is achieved solving for natural frequencies and modes of vibration implementing a FEM code in Matlab [4]. c) Have experience with the different types of elements that can be used in the analysis. This is achieved using linear and non-linear beam, shell and solid elements in the finite element code Abaqus [5] or other commercial FEM code. d) Have experience checking the convergence of the results with respect to the degrees of freedom included in the solution.

Curriculum (SEC).Goals and MethodsWe hypothesized that the long-term survival and success of the SEC can be traced to the generalframework presented in its foundational course, ES201, its positive influence on the facultymembers who have taught (and are teaching) the course, and the fact that faculty members enjoyteaching the foundational course. To test our hypothesis, we designed a simple survey to collectresponses from the faculty members who have taught the course about their reactions to and ex-periences in teaching ES201. Questions in this survey included a) Do you like teaching ES201? Why or Why not? b) How has teaching ES201 influenced the way you teach other courses? c) What do you believe to be the strengths and weaknesses of

A schematic (Figure 1) ofthe system was distributed by the lead instructor, who provided additional project specificationsand assumptions to be made: 1. The collector is made of a PVC tube array (21.33-mm outside diameter or ½” standard size PVC pipe). The tank is painted black and situated above the PVC solar collection tubes (also painted black for maximum sun energy absorption) and to be located outdoors. 2. The design is based on the following assumptions: a. We would like to raise the water temperature by 12 degrees Celsius. b. Average time duration for active water heating
