15.680.7Figure 4 shows that there was a slight increase in the scores on the spectroscopy question in Fall2009. However, it is hard to tell what is occurring, since the scores vary so much from year toyear. For this reason, we “normalized” the scores by dividing the score from the spectroscopyquestion by the score from the calculation question (Table 1). If, for example, class A did poorlyon both questions (i.e. 10 on both, out of 25) and class B did well on both (20), we may unfairlysay that class B was the better class and the teaching practices implemented within that classwere more desirable and well suited to the students. By normalizing, we would see that class Aand B were equal (1) and no conclusions about who had the better teaching practices

resinmatrix. It is frequently used in place of a traditional hand layup for a number of reasons,including increased control over resin content, decreased scrap and mess, and generallyimproved reproducibility during processing. [1] Following impregnation of the pre-polymericresin system into fibers, the prepreg is considered B-staged. At this point in processing, the resinhas undergone a partial cure and begun to crosslink. As such, storage in freezers is required, toprevent further crosslinking of the material into a fully cured C-stage product. [2]Prepreg is manufactured primarily using two processes: solvent coating and hot melt coating. Inthe solvent coating process, fabric is threaded between metal rollers and run through a resin bath,then fed

These are due to: (a) “Non-instantaneous” fuel combustion: in fact, combustion takes aconsiderable length of tine when compared with the time for the piston to move appreciably.Therefore, the pressure rise shown which results from combustion occurs over a significantchange in volume and showing a rounded off process 2 → 3, rather than the theoretical constant-volume heat release.

Some teaching strategies to overcome thisinclude computer simulations and the use of videos, but only a few researchers have utilizedmotion analysis systems or other instrumentation in their dynamics courses.One of the goals of our recent Keck Foundation grant is to incorporate our motion analysissystem into courses in engineering and kinesiology. To date, we have utilized three differentassignment versions in our dynamics course: (a) allowing students to select their own artefact foranalysis, (b) supplying six specific artefacts for analysis, and (c) interfacing with a Kinesiologyclass on motor learning to provide “expert” engineering advice on performance measures ofnovice jugglers versus advanced jugglers.We

Over the last decade, the decision was made to offer four-year engineeringtechnology programs in electromechanical as well as mechanical disciplines. As aresult, the Department of Engineering Technology had to design and develop anyearlong four credit hour, two-semester course entitled ENT 497- 498. This wasaccomplished in 1996, and was designed to conform with the requirements of ABET.(Narayanan, a, b, c, d, e).
