c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Temperature and Level Control of a Multivariable Water Tank ProcessAbstractThe project is concerned with the design of a water tank process and experimental evaluation offeedback control structures to achieve water level and temperature control at desired set pointvalues. The manipulated variables are the pump power, on the water outflow line, and heatsupply to the tank. Detailed, first principles-based, dynamic models as well as empirical modelsfor this interactive and multivariable process have been developed and used for controller design.Furthermore, this experimental study entails and discusses the design of the water tank processand associated instrumentation, real time data

This research team is a part of the NSF-funded Network for ComputationalNanotechnology (NCN) and is conducting this research on NCN’s initiatives to introduce morestudents to nanotechnology. Through this study we hope to better understand what first-yearengineering (FYE) students learned about nanotechnology through their involvement in ananotechnology-based design project. Twenty-eight teams’ executive summaries werequalitatively analyzed to understand what students discussed in their final descriptions of theirdesign solutions. It was found that teams had difficulty understanding the nanoscale anddifferentiating it from the micro and atomic

The project focuses on the design of a net zero energy home(NZEH) by four-person teams, and was reported on at the 2012 ASEE meeting in San Antonio.This past summer, a significant effort was undertaken to include cost and engineering economicsinto the design. This paper begins by summarizing that earlier paper, then describes thedevelopment of the cost data and economic analysis. This is followed by some parametric studiesperformed by the authors, and insights into the most viable design features from an economicstandpoint.
