We would naturally be interested in how much worth would be accumulated at the end.If the growth rate was fixed and known, then the calculation of the future worth would bestraightforward. However, the authors feel that it is important to let the students be aware that inthe real world there are many investment possibilities where the growth rate is variable from yearto year.Suppose that the investment vehicle chosen was an S&P 500 index fund. The annual returnsfrom 1954 till 1993 given by Bernstein indicate that the arithmetic average annual return was13.1% and the overall equivalent annual return over the entire 40 years was 11.75%1. However,the individual annual returns can vary from –26.5% to 52.6 %. This

They are required to calculate a linefitting sample variance for the manufacturers calibration and determine if their results meet theaccuracy specification. Next they fit a line to their data and calculate a line fitting sample variancewhich they also compare to the manufacturers calibration curve. The final step is to performanother linear regression in the differential pressure data range that corresponds to a pitot probevelocity of 2- 9 m/s and calculate a line fitting sample variance for the fit. They combine this withthe resolution uncertainty of the micro-manometer and calculate the resultant uncertainty invelocity measurements in the range 2 to 9 m/s. Uncertainty

In the mid-1950’s engineering education in the United Stateswas directed away from social-technical integration toward more scientific and mathematicalcontent 5, 6. At the same time that engineering education stepped away from problem definitionand consideration of non-technical aspects of design, the educational discipline of professionalmanagement provided specialists to assume the decision-making roles in society 7.

When usingslit capillaries, one can measure the pressure difference directly in the capillary. Viscosity ismeasured in terms of the pressure difference at certain shear rate. Capillary rheometry has found its main area of application in the measurement of polymermelt viscosities at shear rates below 1000 s -1 and at temperatures up to 500 oC 4.

However,student 115 wrote that they felt the splitting of the workload was not as balanced as they wouldhave liked. From these entries, it seems that student 16 may have delegated tasks or aspects ofthe project to student 115, which could have included the template selection. This would suggestthat student 16’s experience in project #2 may have led them to select the same template inproject #3.
