laboratory program. A commercially available turbocharger wasused for the compressor and turbine portions of the engine. As part of the design analysis thestudents developed the system of equations necessary to simulate the engine and used them in acomputer model to predict the design and off-design performance of the engine. The results ofthese computer simulations were used to size and design the various engine systems andcomponents. The engine systems and components designed by the students included acombustion chamber, fuel system, ignition system, lubrication system, starting system,instrumentation, and test stand. The combustion chamber was designed based on required airand fuel flow rates predicted by the engine simulation. The combustion

Session Number 3226 Infrared Emitter – Detector Project Nghia T. Le Purdue UniversityI. IntroductionThe following project is a design of an infrared emitter-detector circuit. It reviews of some of theconcepts and applications the students have learned during the first few semesters in theElectrical Engineering Technology program at Purdue University. The advantage of this projectis that it progresses in steps that are manageable and easily to conduct laboratory activities.The project consists of an analog part and a digital

teach mechanical engineering include a machine design or machineelements course as part of the curriculum. Such courses usually focus on the material covered inclassical texts such as those of Spotts (1997), Shigley (1989), or Juvinall (1991). Thesetextbooks, for the most part, cover the fundamentals of solid mechanics, factors of safety, and theanalysis of discrete machine components.At the University of Texas, undergraduate mechanical engineering students enroll in a machinedesign class during the early part of their junior year. This course, known as ME 338 –Fundamentals of Machine Elements, focuses on a balance between solid mechanics theory and asurvey of machine elements, such as gears, bearings, and springs.

analyzed for themobility and the redundant constraints. Then a self-aligning version of the same mechanism isdesigned . The loop method is the only tool available to the students.The teams build mechanisms from parts purchased at hardware and hobby stores. The mostfrequently used parts are: brass tubing with slightly different diameters, used in building jointsof the IV-th class, small self-aligning joints used by hobbyists to build RC cars, brass flats andminiature screws and nuts (see Fig. 10).The cost of parts per team is about $8.00, and money comes from the laboratory fees paid by thestudents. The parts are glued together with a glue gun, the holes are drilled and parts cut with asmall Dremel tool. Some safety precautions have to be taken

limitations and is usually a focused project. Wewould like to link cadets with capstone projects early in the design sequence to promote theirinitial efforts and allow them to explore the capstone projects in greater depth. Ideally, if theyidentified their capstone project after the first course in design, they would exercise the designprocess over a longer time frame, internalize it, and advance their thought process on the overallproject. With only a few two semester capstone projects, many cadets spend their timecomprehending the scope and trying to “get their arms around” their one semester capstone.Additionally, the internal support required for faculty to manage extensive design opportunitiescannot be met.

Moreover, the assessment tools available tothe faculty will be significantly different from those available to the student.Faculty tend to focus on test scores, comparative assessments of students within a class, and theexpectations of the faculty teaching a class to assess achievement of objectives. There is a built-in bias in such an assessment which can lead the faculty to see achievement and success on amacro-scale

fact that individual portfolioentries are not scored by the instructor. It is the entire body of work that is judged, and part of theevaluation process is performed with both student and instructor looking together at the portfolio.Another effective method for combating plagiarism is the use of the closed laboratory session,where the instructor is present in the lab and interacts with the students. It is rather difficult toperform an act of plagiarism while under the instructor's direct supervision. It is not necessaryfor all programming sessions to be conducted in this manner; an occasional closed laboratorysession or two is sufficient to discourage this type of plagiarism.

Cincinnati, College of Engineering. This survey used the same formatand gathered results for 10 distinct disciplines in the undergraduate program. Canale & Duwartconducted parallel studies at Northeastern University. Results from both sets of studies areconsistent. They indicate that the students’ perceptions of the learning that occurred throughcooperative education has a direct and significant impact on their development in the elevenABET attributes. Within all engineering disciplines surveyed, and without special treatment,cooperative education shows itself to be a strong partner, along with traditional academiccoursework and laboratories, in the development of these attributes in the engineering graduate.The authors propose that colleges who
