Scientists say the primary cause of procrastination is thatpeople tend to become uncomfortable when they are not sure what

half of the lectures are devoted todesigning against the failure mode of yield (19 lectures), while the modes of buckling, andfatigue and fracture have only a few lectures (3 and 2 lectures, respectively). Studentspreviously misunderstood that yield was “more important” and did not recognize that there areother failure modes that must be checked for in design. An instructor-developed concept mapwas used to help students see that, despite the large number of lectures required to fullyunderstand yield as a mode of failure, it was equally important as the other failure modes. Thispaper outlines the development and implementation of three concept maps: Dynamics, FluidMechanics, and Ship Structures.KeywordsConcept Map, Mind Map, Dynamics, Fluid

2015 ASEE Northeast Section Conference Computer Simulation Modeling of a Real System in an Undergraduate Computer Control Systems Laboratory Tooran Emami U. S. Coast Guard Academy, New London, CT 06320AbstractThis paper presents the procedures for modeling a real time DC motor based on computersimulation in a Computer Control Systems laboratory. The lab is for undergraduate junior levelElectrical Engineering students at the United States Coast Guard Academy (USCGA). Thislaboratory enhances better understanding fundamental engineering concepts via hands onexperience. The objectives are to identify a continuous time transfer
