A flat surface-thermocouples was placed on the top side of the block.Subsequently, a heat sink was mounted on the top of the block and fastened with a customdesigned clamp to ensure good contact at the interface and secure the heat sink against the wind.The assembly was installed inside the windtunnel and additional thermocouples were placed onthe side surfaces of the aluminum block, which were then insulated with foam insulation tape toensure that heat is mainly conducted to the heat sink. The complete assembly before installingthe thermocouples is shown in Fig. 1(b). Thermocouples were connected to NI-9213 cDAQ(National InstrumentsTM) based on LabVIEW for data

In the traditional partial credit model,the problem of excessively difficult or long exams was solved by more ‘generous’ partial credit.In the SMART model, this is not an option. Exams must have a reasonable selection ofproblems. Most of the exam, say 80%, should be problems that a C student is expected to solve.Only 20% of the exam should be intended to challenge A and B students. Exams must be testedto be sure they are not excessively long. Since students are required to get correct answers, theymust have time to check their work. The exam should be designed to take up no more than 80%of the time allotted for a typical

paper describes the evolution of a mechan-ics course in the School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at the University of New SouthWales using blended learning. Significant changes were implemented to (a) reduce the administrativeburden associated with the large number of students, (b) maintain student interest and engagementthroughout the semester, and (c) successfully deliver the learning outcomes. Student participation wasobserved to increase with integration of additional information and communication technology, as wellas implementation of online assessments into the course structure. Surprisingly, implementation of theblended learning did not improve student academic performance in the summative assessments. Thispaper reflects
