The scope was to evaluate the subjectiveperception of the students relative to their understanding of energy-related topics rather than usingcomprehensive tests [9] as physics laws were I fact the real objective of the course. A comparisonbetween their pre-course perception and post-course perception was intended (questions 1 and 2). Also a Page 15.800.7relative self-assessment of their progress in this direction was addressed by question 3. Table 1.

functionality of the differentfourbar classes and inversions. In addition, the design project required the use of fourbars, whichthe students designed and modeled in SolidWorks®. The students assembled critical functionprototypes of their fourbar designs as part of a lab exercise, and then manufactured fourbars on awaterjet cutter for their competition robots. Lastly, two of 28 Excel® problems were related tofourbars: one in which the students analyzed S + L ? P + Q to determine the Grashof condition,and one that applied Excel®’s Solver function to solve for the output angle if the input angle andlink lengths are known.In the old ME 1000, students saw fourbars in one lecture (including synthesis examples), wererequired to use fourbars in the design

. Suppose we write Q ? hAΦT .We plan to exchange heat between the exhaust manifold and the ambient air, and weassume T∞ =100 ″F. Ducting will carry the air from the front of the vehicle to theexchanger. We estimate the available heat transfer surface area at about 1 ft2 (is this Page 15.1018.15reasonable?). We select an arbitrary value for the heat transfer coefficient, say 100Btu/(hr ft2 °F); although this is too large to be realistic, we find Q=(100)(1)(900)=90,000 Btu/hr.This rate of heat transfer corresponds to about 35 hp or 26 kW. If this were realizablewe would not need much of an IC engine at all! However, it is likely

is the determination of theairspeed or flow rate in the duct model. The airspeeds are too small for the normal wind tunnelmeasurement system which makes use of the pressure drop in the wind tunnel converging sectionresulting from the Bernoulli effect. An indirect method is possible, by measuring the volumetricflow rate supplied to the rake manifold from the smoke generation system. If the totalvolumetric flow rate of air containing smoke is Q, then the average discharge velocity from Nidentical rake tubes will be U = Q/(NA), where A is the internal cross-sectional area of a singletypical rake tube. Since the exit tube flow must be properly balanced with the external airspeedfor so-called iso-kinetic injection, U will be approximately the

and preparation for this skillis adequate. Again, the data suggests areas already known in the academic literature. The areasof largest deviation below the zero-line show that mathematics (Q 2), written communication (Q12) and a willingness and awareness to engage in life-long learning (Q 17) are areas needingmore emphasis in engineering programs. This again reflects what is being highlighted in ABEToutcomes. Table 1 summarizes the main conclusions from the study. If “X (Slight)” appears ina column, this indicates the results for both New Engineers (NE) and Supervisors (S) areapproaching agreement and, thus, would be close to appearing in the “Adequate” or centercolumn.What next?Based on this study and after examining other studies in the

Another area of improvement in the future is to revise the Quiz module structure. Currently, the Quiz module is implemented using static values for Q&A, so questions must be manually entered. In the future, we intend to make this module more interactive such that questions and answers can randomly be selected from an existing file created by the user. We also intend to attach a time stamp and User ID to each quiz to improve the testing environment.5. As of now, we have not performed any traffic monitoring to evaluate the traffic volume passing through the IVLP web server. It is our intention to examine
