A taller frustum with amore gradual taper and a smaller radius may also result in improved hydraulic head which inturn can lead to improved flow rates.Student InvolvementBeginning in the undergraduate Fluid Mechanics course, the five students dedicated to work onthis project have gained new and improved skills for designing and analysing an experimentwith CWFs. The prerequisites courses needed for Fluid Mechanics included: Calculus 1,Calculus 2, Physics 1, Heat and Thermodynamics, and Applied Thermodynamics.

While the intention of team-based designprojects is to provide all students with a range of technical and non-technical masteryexperiences [1,2] students enter into these experiences with differences – whether real orperceived – in relevant technical skills that undermine individuals’ participation and persistenceon team-based work. Prior research indicates male engineering students are more confident thanfemales in their math and science abilities, as well as their abilities to solve open-ended problems[3-6
