Should have mentioned groups had a full 50 minute class period to work on it....another to discuss it ________________________________ From: Team Learning Discussion List [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Sibley, Jim Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2005 2:08 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: TBL - Mechanical Engineering Examples Hi Robert Here is an exercise from an aerodynamics course.......check the result summary......great way to present students answers that fosters great student discussions In short, to solve this problem fully, students had to: - determine the velocity field around the wing (this required quite involved numerical analysis in the topic of potential flow) - identify a region in the flow field with flow speed and direction that met requirements stated or implied in the problem - use the potential flow results to compute the drag force on the pitot tube to ensure stiffness and strength were sufficient - ensure the pitot tube was sufficiently far away from the boundary layer (viscous flow effect region) on the wing This exercise tied together the three major course elements to that point (potential flow, boundary layers, and force coefficients) and introduced them to the next major element (airfoils). I also have attached a lesson learned document from a mechanical design course from last year Jim ________________________________ From: Dr. Peter Ostafichuk [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2005 5:14 PM To: Sibley, Jim Subject: RE: TBL Hi Jim, Here is the info you requested.

I would love to use it as an example......in my next TBL workshop.
