assist with this goal, students were encouraged, early in the term, to discover reallife examples of mechanisms with an aim to promote curiosity and foster interest in learning.Throughout the term, a design project was introduced which required students not only to applyfundamentals of kinematics and dynamics, but also to exercise skills in teamwork, collaborativelearning and communication. A student survey was conducted at the end of the course and theefficacy of the approach was assessed.IntroductionThe University of British Columbia‟s Okanagan campus was established in 2005 in Kelowna,British Columbia.

The elements emphasized andadopted to promote project evaluation practices include periodic review of journal/log bookentries, presentations, periodic milestone reports, at least weekly meetings with the advisor(s),and the final design report.IntroductionDue to its culminating nature, the senior design project course is probably the most significantexperience of the undergraduate engineering students (1). In the process the students apply whatthey have learned in their undergraduate course work; develop their communication,interpersonal, project management, and design skills; and learn about the product developmentprocess.

in appropriate subsequent analyses. From the Y2 data, we observed no significantdifferences at the 95% confidence level (α = 0.05) between any student sections’cumulative pre-test score, and thus, we include this data in the appropriate analyses in Section 4. When looking atindividual parts of the pre-test, however, we did find a significant difference between section 1 andsection 4 on the Lab 5 portion of the pre-test (p-value = 0.04), with section 4 having a significantlylower average on this portion of the material. Because of this, student section 4’s data was omittedin the Lab 5 analyses for Y2. 4 Results 4.1 Educational Benefit from Course The first question we sought to answer was whether or not the students learned and

The students think of an original device andthen deal with all aspects of engineering development from parts procurement to final testing ofthe full-up system.

Mounted on the constant bendingportion of these beams are 4 strain gages forming a 4-active arm Wheatstone bridge. Studentscan hug the HuggoMeter and apply forces to it.

tool.5 ConclusionsIn this paper, the use of impromptu design exercises in an introductory mechanical engineeringcourse was presented. These exercises were used to introduce three design ideas: 1) the designprocess, 2) brainstorming and decision making, and 3) optimization. The developed exerciseswere presented along with details pertaining to implementation and preliminary evaluationresults. Evaluation results showed that the impromptu design exercises had an impact (at least inthe student’s perception) on their engineering design education.AcknowledgmentsThe authors gratefully acknowledge the Villanova Institute for Teaching and Learning (VITAL)for supporting this project.References[1] C.

. After the system properties are set correctly, thesimulation is run and the links are set into motion. The system can then be analyzed using thecharting functions available in Working Model. The top graph shows the angle of rotation of linkAB with respect to time and the bottom graph displays the velocity of point C with respect totime. When link AB is exactly vertical (360° in this simulation) the velocity of point B is 5 ft/s inthe negative i-direction. The students can then look on the velocity chart to determine thevelocity of point C at the instant in time that AB is exactly vertical. This laboratory gave thestudents an interesting example of how to solve a real world problem using simple motionsoftware. The students had to develop a

, its relevance in engineering and engineeringeducation cannot be underestimated, especially when having today´s energy andenvironmental concerns in mind.Despite the importance of the subject, it has been considered as “dry and abstract” bystudents 1. One reason might be that the subject has become more and more difficult to relateto its applications –the fundamentals principles are the same as for 150 years ago, but theapplications become more and more refined due to technological developments andinnovations. If so, it is altogether not surprising that students find engineeringthermodynamics abstract, being separated from its applications – this might be devastating forthe students’ interest and possibility to learn.An increase in student

both of these problems (i.e., numerical methods in two-dimensional heat conduction and transient heat conduction through semi-infinite mediums) have traditionally been challenging for students and an objective of the FE learning modules is to provide an alternative insight for students that will ideally make these topics easier to understand. The problems for each learning module are summarized in Figs. 1 and 2. The steady-state problem (Fig. 1) was adopted from an exercise at the end of Chapter 4 (“Two-Dimensional, Steady-State Conduction”) of Incropera et al.’s textbook6, while the transient, semi-infinite medium problem (Fig. 2) was adopted from an exercise at the end of Chapter 4 (“Transient Heat Conduction
