Using the sketches and other data, the students make solidgeometric computer models of each part of the assembly. The parts are then assembled andmated together to illustrate the whole mechanical system. At this point a kinematics simulationof the mechanical assembly could be made. The students next generate .STL files of eachindividual part. These .STL files are transferred to the JP System 5 prototyping system andphysical mock-ups of the parts are constructed. To culminate the experience, the team producesorthographic engineering drawings of the parts.All of these graphical image s and documentation are arranged into a final written

These values provide insight into the causes of the road load forceand let the designer compare values with other vehicles.Equation 1.1 can then be substituted into equation 1.2, providing a relationship betweenthe two unknown parameters µ 0 and CD, and the vehicle speed and rate of deceleration.By measuring the vehicle speed and deceleration (and by also determining the frontalarea and air density), we can solve for the rolling resistance and the coefficient of drag.These coefficients can then be used to predict the motion of the vehicle in response tovarying tractive effort and conditions.The simplest method to determine

Learning outcomes were strongly correlated with course evaluation, but aftercontrolling for learning outcomes, he found that expected grades were not positively related toevaluations. In fact, in natural sciences, the highest-rated courses were some of the ones withlower grades. Courses that were either “too hard” or “too easy” were rated lower than coursesbetween these extremes.Eiszler [13] comes at the question from a different perspective—the change in grades andevaluations over time. Using data from more than 37,000 course sections offered between 1980and 1999, he found that during the 1980s, the percentage of students expecting As or A–s heldsteady, as did the average scores on course evaluations.
