If the students want to get the outputs for a specific velocity, they can input it in theDefault Inputs block and then click the “Output the Results” button. For example, if the angle ofattack is 8°, the area of the airfoil is 5 m2 and the specified velocity is 222 m/s, the studentsobtain the outputs shown in Figure 4. Page 11.141.5

At the time,each of the engineering technology programs (civil, electrical, and mechanical) had their ownfreshman course of two credits and didn’t really want to change. This change would add anadditional two credits to the curriculum which, under university guidelines, would mean that twocredits would have to be dropped elsewhere in the curriculum. Additionally, while the Page 11.835.2undergraduate engineering programs were four-year programs, with ninety percent of theirstudents starting as new freshman, the four year engineering technology

They understand heat treatment and different tempers of aviation gradealuminum. They also realize the importance of following heat treatment processes to getconsistent properties of the materials. The well-equipped laboratory provides a place to apply thetheory and develop their skills. It becomes more than just paper knowledge - it is something theycan touch, make, assemble, and test.

This batch processing methodology createdsignificant delays in the module review process and continuity was difficult to maintain due to thesequence of editing events. For example, audio files submitted during “week one” may not bereturned to the author for review until three to five weeks later.

The extensive use of psychological type in work setting, education and career counseling [2]gave us the idea of applying personality profiles while forming our problem laboratory groups.Jung’s comprehensive theory that relates to psychological type is the belief that everyone usesfour basic processes or functions which are called sensing(S), intuition (N), thinking (T) andfeeling (F). These four processes are used with the attitudes of introversion (I) and extraversion(E) and the orientations to the outside world as judgment (J) and perception (P).Isabel Myers developed the following work expectations for the eight preferences [2

After the training course, all those students whofailed the Pre-Test have passed the Post-Test. It is recommended that even earlier detection andremediation would be more helpful.

We would expect reflections to occur at both the leading and thetrailing edges of the pulse. A much more significant programming challenge would be to allowthe load impedance to be complex. While it is easy to handle complex loads in a steady statetime-harmonic situation, it is much more difficult to handle them for non-steady state conditions.Code described in this paper and other examples presented at the conference will be madeavailable on the author’s website: http://www.eng.auburn.edu/users/wentwsm/References:1.

Here the specifications are that the driving jointimposes a constant angular velocity of 70 rpm (high crank speed) to the link driving themechanism. Students would be asked to confirm the value of the velocity at, for example, 1s byusing hand calculations. These can be obtained by calculating the velocity of the connectionsbetween the driving crank and the link (329.87 mm/s at 150.37 degrees) and between the linkand the lever (262.83 mm/s at 171.06 degrees – perpendicular to the lever). Then the angularvelocity of the link can be found (0.4161 clockwise) and the velocity of the CM can becalculated (magnitude: 291.53 mm/s). For the kinematic example (Figure 3) students

Several algorithms[4, 5, 6] have also been published for determining reviewer reliability, based only on thescores assigned by reviewers. These algorithms consider (i) consistency of scores assignedby this reviewer with scores assigned by others to the same work, and (ii) spread, how muchthe highest score the reviewer assigned differs from the lowest score (s)he assigned. Somealgorithms also consider (iii) leniency, the tendency of a reviewer to give scores that arehigher than other reviewers.
