Data was used to plot the stress-strain curve, estimate Young’s Modulus, andultimate tensile strength for each print setting. A sample tensile test specimen is shown in Figure8 (a) after breaking. The gained experience allowed the student to get a full understanding of theprocess and create a user guide to use the vertical test stand as seen in Figure 8 (b).

Thesame procedure was repeated for locations “C” and “D”.The last part of the test was done with no steam injection. All four steam injection holes werecovered with soil and temperatures were recorded for 21 minutes. At the 14 minute mark TC1,TC2, and TC3 were disconnected from TC meters, TM4 was replaced with TC4 and all fourthermocouples were connected to a data acquisition (DAQ) computer that tracked thetemperatures overnight. Once the steam generator had cooled off the water was removed andmeasured. A total of 23 oz (0.680 kg) of water was used during this

Assessment methods included: pre- and post-activitystudent skill self-report surveys, observations of student teamwork and presentations, studentinterviews, and performance scoring of team design notebooks using a scoring rubric developedfor design-related activities. Post-activity student skill self-reports revealed statisticallysignificant gains in problem solving and mechanical building skills for Mentored and Web-guided groups when compared with pre-activity responses. Performance assessment of the Web-guided group using a team-based engineering design work scoring system showed higher scoresfor the use of technical concepts in the design process than the Mentored

During the “pioneer phase,”there certainly must be a degree of advocacy to “sell” the concept of virtual communitiesand in time users will respond and adapt to technological opportunities if they offersufficient benefits. Perhaps research related to needs might expedite matters. Like anyother initiative, virtual communities must compete for relevance.1 Chearles W.

gave their group a success rating ofA, 37.5% of the students gave their group a success rating of B, 35% of the studentsgave their group a success rating of C, 12.5% of the students gave their group a successrating of D and 5% of the students gave their group a success rating of F. These resultsseem to show that the students in general were less satisfied with their individual group’sperformance than with the module as a whole. Therefore, it is the author’s suggestion thatcare be given in assigning students to design teams in order to balance the weaker studentswith stronger students academically, thus increasing the chance of a successful designteam and a good learning experience for all the students.
