modular water bench and fountain design project for an undergraduate fluid dynamics laboratoryAbstractA laboratory pedagogy that values inquiry-based instruction is under development at theUniversity of Illinois Urbana-Champaign to satisfy ABET Outcome 6: An ability to develop andconduct appropriate experimentation, analyze and interpret data, and use engineering judgment todraw conclusions. To do so, there is a need for laboratory equipment that provides flexibility forstudents to experiment with an array of flow devices such as pipes, elbows, pumps, valves, andmeasurement devices such as differential pressure transducers and flowmeters.A modular water bench has been developed with a design project in mind whereby student
, redesign the molds, and produce electromagnets ourselves).If this were to be attempted again, appropriate time and a finalized rubric from the outset wouldbe instrumental in ensuring a project that fulfills the outlined requirements. Particularly thecreativity aspect was developed later in the project, and as a result, the produced prototype didnot adhere to the rubric well. With these in mind from the start, a more creative magnetic softrobot could have been developed (e.g. an ocean-themed tentacle robot).ConclusionThe learning outcomes for this soft-robotics-themed project address several needs of theengineering education space. This tube-man project can teach engineering students aboutdesigning and creating a soft robot that reinforces key
