Duke students trained 15 other universitystudents, in both the United States and Guatemala, who have taught the flashlight curriculum toan additional 150 students in Guatemala (Figure 2A).

for the three propellers increased almost linearly till reaching maximum value thendroping down for each propeller. Several factors can be responsible for this. The cavitationphenomena are most likely the cause of this problem, particularly in a four-bladed propellerwhere the thrust value drops sharply. The next challenge was the fluctuation of the rod during thetests that led to a severe vibration of the rod. In many cases, increasing the rotational speed wasimpossible. The following methods could resolve these problems.(a) Retest the same rod and propeller assembly using methods in approaches 1 and 2.(b) Use pully and belt mechanism to rotate the propeller. In this case, the shaft length will be minimized, and vibration issue will be

First, prior to the start of themodule, students completed PRE open-ended questions (shown below). Second, at the end of themodule, students responded to the same POST open-ended questions. The open-ended questionswill be analyzed qualitatively through thematic analysis to understand potential themes in the data.According to Braun and Clark [49], a thematic analysis is a foundational qualitative method fordiscovering patterns within the data. It should be conducted using a step by step process. Theresearchers first became thoroughly familiar with the data to
