focuseson one school, identified here as Eastern Technical University (ETU). This analysis is restrictedto ETU’s first-year mechanical engineering curriculum, which typically involves students takingMechanics (ETU Physics), Calculus (ETU Math), Introduction to Manufacturing (ETUEngineering), and/or Introduction to CAD (ETU Design). Each course includes threecomponents: lecture, recitation, and laboratory. ETU’s curriculum generally identifies lectures asthe main venue through which content knowledge is imparted, while the recitation sessions areprimarily used as an opportunity to engage with the material through Q&A experiences andparticipation in group-work exercises. The laboratories serve as vehicles for specific skilldevelopment and attempt

would be the most efficient way to do this. 3. Calculate the amplitude ratio and the frequency ratio and create a graph similar to Figure 3.11a on page 230 in your textbook. Use the peak amplitude data from your accelerometer and PULSE analyzer instead of the ruler. You should have three different curves on one graph. Determine the damping ratio based on the above data and theory. 4. Determine the Q factor for the system with the lightest damping. 5. Divide the force amplitude by the velocity amplitude ( x peak ) for each frequency for both experiments. This is the magnitude of the mechanical impedance of the system at a given frequency. Create a graph of this. Show three curves on one chart – one curve for

The feature that was not initially available in Blackboard, andcoincidentally was the most important feature needed to deliver the courses as envisioned, was avideo lecture capability.While video lectures are not synonymous with online learning, the University of Marylandbelieved that to provide a comparable experience for online students versus face-to-face studentsthat full video and audio capture of an actual face-to-face course was
