The frequenciesfrom the octave 0 to the octave 8 are summarized in Table 1. Table 1. Frequencies of music notesThere is a simple relationship between two successive note frequencies. Let the frequencies oftwo notes be fi and fi+1, then fi+1 = 21/12 * fiThe equation implies that a frequency is doubled after one octave (i.e., 12 notes): fi+12 = (21/12)12 * fi = 2 fiFor example, the frequency of note C in the

DiscussionThe consistency of the comparisons across the two approaches is gratifying, as itsuggests the existence of a real phenomenon that is hinted at in two different ways. Thelevels of the responses and the differences are similar, which suggests to us that studentknowledge about engineering is changing due to the introduction of THE PROJECT. Torefer to Figure 1, comparisons A and B appear to be similar. Most of these apparentchanges, however, appear to be informational rather than aspirational. That is, after oneyear of SABES, there appears to be convincing evidence that
