online portion of the class easy to follow, and thought that the blended learning experiencewas helpful. Just over 90% stated that the course met the stated objectives. The survey alsoindicated that the workbook/textbook isn’t as useful as it could be.Question 7’s apparent low satisfaction by the students regarding future use of the BentleyLEARN Server may stem from two sources. First, during the initial registration for the onlinecourses there were a few problems with students signing up for the wrong course, something notdiscovered until the regular weekly reports was developed. Second, because the BentleyLEARN Server must track all student activities within an online course, there was not factility toallow the student to print out the course

This lack of clarity applies to many students, and in some case to afaculty. King et al. discussed similar issues in their experience4.Since this is a project-based course, we accompany asynchronous interaction with synchronousactivities. This is achieved through face to face meeting and live discussions between thestudent(s) and project’s faculty mentor. It is vital to the students success to keep this stream ofmeetings and interactions flowing since it will clarify many paradigms pointed out earlier. Theseniority level and practical experience of our students, many of them working adults, made asignificant contribution to

. Reducing the uncertaintyin temperature measurement alone will not satis~ our requirement since setting it even to zero reduces theuncertainty in density to 10/o. Thus, acquiring more expensive temperature measurement device for betteraccuracy is unnecessary. By improving the pressure measurement and reducing its uncertainty to 0.3°/0, theuncertainty in density reduces to O. S”/O. The key point in this exercise is to show how the students may vary theuncertainties in each measured variables as they select proper transducers based on manufacturers’specifications apriori to purchasing the transducers.
