Just curious as to what the grading is like around the country, which best describes the average test score in your engineering classes (without a curve)?

That's a bad question. It varies from class to class and subject to subject, teacher to teacher.
How was your thermo test?

85, with the average at 63. I know its not an easy thing to estimate with all of the variables. I guess I'm asking for an average of an average. What is that called...I didn't enjoy statistics.

It's called the mean of the average. [tex]\sigma_ \bar{X}[/tex].
85, that would be an A, good job!
Try to solve that problem I sent you in your PM box if you want to for fun.

Final, already? 
You guys must have skipped a lot of material. It really does get fun after all that crap you did. Jet engines and stuff!

I'm sure it will. I actually like this material already, just not this teacher. This is just Intro to Thermal, I have to take applied thermo, heat transfer, and applied fluid dynamics. Thanks for all of your help bye the way. I am starting a co-op this summer with Reliant Energy so I'll be around the power plants and get a better feeling of this stuff (hopefully) but I'll have more questions in the fall!

Good stuff. Applied thermo will be better, I promise. You will do cycles. Carnot cycle, Otto cycle, Brayton cycle. Thermal efficiencies, regeneration, cogeneration etc. It get's a lot better. It's not a stupid piston cylinder device.

You are 3 mins late, I want the answer NOW!
I said pencil's down!

Wow, look at the variability in the poll thus far!

I'm a bit suprised that nothing sticks out. I guess I expected it to be more heavily concentrated around the middle than evenly spread out. I know there is a lot of varibility though.

I can't believe that nearly 30% average 80+, that's crazy!
