Unfortunately for the two groups, the nature of thecombined-cycle optimization caused Mathcad to find local-maximums for specific power basedon the groups’ initial guesses that were less than the class maximum specific power. However,consideration was given to the groups for ingenuity and resolve.ME 321 Introduction to Fluid MechanicsAppendix B presents the project assigned during the Fall 2003 offering of ME 321 Introductionto Fluid Mechanics. The project required designing a thrust reverser to retrofit the Gulfstream IIbusiness jet owned by Virtucon Inc., the cover company for Dr. Evil’s empire.

The opposite of tumblehome isflare, when the sides of the canoe angle out away from the paddlers. Excessive flare adds tothe stability of the canoe by increasing underwater volume. While flare adds to the stability ofthe canoe, it makes it harder for the paddlers to reach the water with their paddles.

In 2006 its turnover was US $38 B, 26% more than in the previous year and this trendis expected to continue3.A dual energy crisis strategy of conservation or maximizing efficiency and vigorousdevelopment of alternative energy sources is proposed. The role of the Arizona State Universityas a New American University in this regard is the one of a bold leadership and relentless pursuitto promote and establish new energy sources.The mandate of the newly established Alternative Energy program at Arizona State University atthe Polytechnic campus is to strategically develop electronics engineering cadre capable ofmeeting the demands of the new energy economy that will rely on energy

requires certain premisesof teaching and learning to be put into place.7Fortunately, by applying three fundamental principles, instructors can create theseconditions in the vast majority of learning groups. These principles, referred to as“KEYS” in his essay, are: a) promoting individual and group accountability; b) usingassignments that link and mutually reinforce individual work, group work, and total classdiscussions; and c) adopting practices that stimulate give-and-take interaction within andbetween groups.Application of the Theory:This type of interaction can be facilitated by dividing students into small groups of five orsix and assigning chapters within the text. These teams of students are then divided intoexpert groups one through five
