Bernoulli Balance Experiments Using a Venturi Megan F. Dunn, W. Roy Penney and Edgar C. Clausen Ralph E. Martin Department of Chemical Engineering University of ArkansasAbstractTwo simple and inexpensive venturi experiments were developed for use in either the laboratoryor classroom. The purpose of this paper is to present the equipment, procedures andexperimental results for these experiments, as used in a junior level fluids laboratory. In the firstexperiment, a shop fabricated venturi was employed to determine the experimental minor losscoefficient, K, in an unsteady-state system. The throat velocity determined by the Bernoullibalance was about 16

fundamentals of theengineering design process.Over the past four years the author has been responsible for teaching the introductoryengineering course for students on the Missouri State University (MSU) campus who areparticipating in the Cooperative Engineering Program operated by Missouri University ofScience & Technology (Missouri S&T) in cooperation with MSU.During that time, a number of different ideas and topics have introduced in the course. Somewere successful but others failed for a variety of reasons. This paper discusses both thesuccesses and failures and offers suggestions for other teaching similar courses.IntroductionOn August 21, 2006, the Governor of the state of Missouri, along with the Curators of theUniversity of Missouri

theextent to which they are being met. The results of these evaluations of program educationalobjectives and program outcomes must be used to effect continuous improvement of the programthrough a documented plan.” At the core of the CIP must be the program or student outcomes.In the most recent evaluation of its student outcomes the ECET program decided to adoptABET’s general criteria 3 of ‘a’ through ‘k’, along with ABET’s specific program criteria, as itsstudent outcomes. Assessment of the student outcomes should be done ideally using a variety ofdifferent methods2,3,4. Such methods have traditionally relied upon direct measurements such astailored exam questions, quizzes, and laboratory assignments. Other methods, which are lessapplicable to the

Transforming a Microprocessors Course through the Progressive Learning Platform Sohum Sohoni, David Fritz, Wira Mulia Oklahoma State UniversityAbstractThis paper describes an innovative learning platform called the Progressive Learning Platform(PLP), and its use in an introductory microprocessors course. The discussion covers the overalltransformation of the course from the examination and modification of existing course objectivesor Be-Able-To‟s (BATS), to the development of laboratories and other curricular materials for ahighly collaborative active-learning approach. Decisions made by the instructors during thisprocess, and the reasons behind

tool to facilitate distance education both in the United States andinternationally. Before the broad adoption of the Internet, distance education was oftenimplemented through satellite feeds or through regular postal mailing of videos. The Internet hasenabled distance education to be both more efficient and effective 1-3. In engineering education,the adoption rate of effective online educational strategies has been lower than in otherdisciplines4. The importance of laboratory and hands-on experiments, as well as ABETaccreditation policies are likely to be part of the reason for this gap. But one part of engineeringeducation has increased much more rapidly online: the Master’s degree. Because the Master’sdegree is typically not accredited

understanding.3. FE Learning Module DesignThe four FE learning modules presented in this paper were designed and developed using apedagogical basis. The modules are based on an experimental learning approach. We will firstprovide an overview on experimental learning and then discussed various experimental learningmodels. Finally, the Kolb cycle, which is used to design each FE learning module, will bediscussed.3.1 Experiential Learning OverviewIn the early ages of teaching, psychologists and educators noticed the importance of experientiallearning in the learning process. Aristotle stated that in the prehistoric ages the use of the„language of knowledge‟ was not an indication that early humans possess that knowledge. Laterin modern time, John Dewey

, etc.In our electrical engineering and computer engineering undergraduate programs, studentscomplete a two-course senior design sequence using project-based learning, where, in addition tosolving challenging design problems, they develop several of the generic skills. They also workin teams in the laboratory components of several earlier courses, but there is little formalinstruction therein on how to behave in a group or how to conduct good team work. If some ofthose ideas were learned early in the program, they could be used all throughout the program,and thus the students would enter the senior design sequence with strong team skills and be ableto focus on the technical aspects of the design projects. Also, they would graduate with theability
