developers of pre-college curricula face?Challenge #1: Developing sustainable practices. An innovative educational initiative isrelatively straightforward to offer once or twice in a few classrooms where the extent ofthe impact is limited, with significant involvement of the initiative’s creator(s) anddeveloper(s) invested. To have truly lasting impact, however, one needs to developeducational initiatives that can be transferred from expert to novice, that have appropriatedocumentation procedures in place, and are economically viable for all partnersinvolved.Challenge #2: Placing a curriculum in an environment that is over-prescribed in termsof content and resources. Adding new educational content to a pre-college curriculuminevitably means that

surface data encompassed a roughly0.5m×3.5m swath. Three different wave frequencies were tested with wave periods of T = {1.1,1.2, 1.3}s and a sequence of images was taken for each wave period. Figure 6 shows a MATLABinterpolation of the Cartesian data from the T=1.1s experimental run. As mentioned earlier,texturizing the water surface with sufficient mist or spray is essential to getting good results.Figure 7 shows the Periodogram of the averaged data from Figure 6. The peak corresponds to apredominant frequency wavelength of 1.71m for this run. The average wavelength for the entiresequence of images was 1.93m; this shows excellent agreement with the wave gauge wavelengthof 1.90m.In another experiment, a series of stereo images were taken along

&D expenses and time, a reduction in toolingand associated costs, a reduction in the number of possible mistakes on the shop floor, as well asan overall reduction in the component cost due to volume purchasing.The compressor component was then quickly identified as a possible candidate for part countreduction. It was chosen due to its overall complexity, time necessary for assembly and service,expensive materials, and overall number of parts. A modular compressor concept was introducedand a preliminary design [on a conceptual level] was conducted to show the possible benefits ofsuch a concept.Background and Literature Survey for the Modular Compressor projectThe original gas turbine modular concept2 was first developed in the early 1960’s

In addition, detailed writtendescriptions of the Units were developed. Students use the vignettes and reference materials todecide which Elective Unit(s) they wish to study.
