The students are thenassigned to permanent 3-person teams. During the remaining five weeks of the term, they use thematerial presented during the first half of the course to solve the problem of designing, building,and testing a mechatronics device that will win a competitive game (this is the “problem”). Theconditions and rules are clearly posed by the course instructors and are the same for all sections.A Q&A web site allows the students to ask questions about the contest and the questions andanswers are then shared with all the students (one faculty member is assigned the task of

Kingsport, Tennessee to manufacture specialty chemicals. The purpose of this project isto determine the effect of sparger ring diameter, D S, and gas flow rate, QG, on the liquid phaseresidence-time-distribution in a bubble column. In this CFD study, an algebraic slip mixture model(see Manninen et al., 1996; Ivanov et al., 1999) is used to simulate an air/water mixture in a columnof diameter D (= 2.4m) and height H (= 19.2m). The volume of the column, V, is approximately 91m3. The volumetric flow rate of the liquid phase, Q L, is about 89 m3/h; the gas rate, QG, is varied from~800 m3/h to ~ 2,400 m3/h. Thus, for the conditions studied, the superficial mean residence time ofthe liquid phase is about 3,600s whereas the superficial mean residence time

the adiabatic process, the students were asked if the heat, Q, wasgreater for process 1. Although the acceptable selection ranged from 40% to 56% percent, only11% gave an acceptable response based upon the first law of thermodynamics. This implies thatalthough the students could get the correct answer, they could not give an acceptable reasonabout why it was correct. This could be because they lack conceptual understanding of the firstlaw, but not necessarily procedural understanding. In addition, Loverude and others (2002) showthat students did not consider the first law of thermodynamics when given a problem that neededthe first law to be answered correctly. Loverude and others questioned 36 thermal physicsstudents during two rounds of
