curricula to providecornerstone design experience in the first year and capstone design experience in the final year.Between the first and final years much knowledge is acquired and analysis skills are honed, butthe amount of exposure to realistic design problems is variable, if not quite limited.3Elementary strength of materials is a core course in the engineering curriculum in which studentslearn how to analyze deformation, strain, and stress in simple structural members including bars,shafts, beams, and pressure vessels. It is typically taught at the sophomore level in baccalaureateand engineering technology (ET) programs as well as at community colleges. Traditionally thecourse is analysis based, although design problems of a very limited

stresses are easily determined by traditional strength of materials equations,continuum mechanics or by finite element analysis. The second type of mechanical stress thatoccurs in materials is classified as residual stresses. These are the stresses that remain in thematerial after all the applied loads are removed.Mechanical engineering and engineering technology students have a difficult time understandingthe generation of residual stresses, measuring them and their overall effect on design life.Residual stresses typically come from non-uniform plastic flow due to some previous loading ormanufacturing process. Some of these processes are but not limited to casting, machining,welding, grinding, shot peening, quenching, nonuniform cold working such

The interactive system has found favor withinstructors, teaching assistants and students. Because each step taken by the student in theproblem solution is recorded by the accompanying learning management system, students andinstructors can easily review modules to determine where the student went wrong. This approachalso frees Teaching Assistants from the necessity of grading homework, most of which areworked correctly, and allows them to spend time with the students who most need their help.Because of the many options available in the authoring tool, novice developers often

While each student had a primary team responsibility, they werealso required to work across team boundaries to ensure integrated and realistic solutions emergedfrom their efforts. The ASU team initially met with students and faculty from the KwameNkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) in Kumasi, Ghana, a partneruniversity with ASU in this study. They travelled to Biemso, a small rural village in which aproject is underway to produce biodiesel fuel from the oil seed bearing plant known as JatrophaCurcas.

Page 13.1210.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2008Abstract:Biogas is produced when organic matter is degraded in the absence of oxygen. Theprocess, from degradation to gas production is called anaerobic digestion. This anaerobicdigestion occurs naturally in wetland, Lake Bottom and deep landfills. An experimentaldigestor was built that converts cow manure and agricultural waste into methane-richbiogas that can be used as alternate energy resources to generate electricity or thermalenergy. The research in this study focuses on the feasibility of the design of anoperational digestor, the monitoring and control of the different biodegradation processvariables and experiments to boost or maximize the gas production; and the analysis

It is necessary to have an instrumentation system which is able tomonitor and control fuel cell operation under varying conditions. Therefore, a typical fuel celltest system requires high-resolution, isolation, and waveform acquisition capability.
