laboratory experimental set-up for an undergraduateaerodynamics course for the university where the engineering students are currently studying.The laboratory included 3D models of propellers for application in CFD and StereolithographySLA printing of toroidal propeller models. The aerodynamics students will be guided through thetesting and CFD simulations required to obtain values for torque, thrust, efficiency, and soundlevels as a function of propeller RPM. This enables students to learn the prototyping processapplicable to multiple industries, including the aerospace industry. This paper will also include adescription of student outcomes, student involvement, and responses from students, as well as anassessment of student

beneficial in the fields of aerospace, civil, and mechanical engineering. Tomeasure the aerodynamic loads in a wind tunnel, a force balance is additionally required.However, force balances are often expensive, costing tens of thousands of dollars, which has ledto the development of low-cost alternatives that are about $1000 [1] or less [2]. These low-costforce balances each claim to have an accuracy of ±10% on the coefficients of lift and drag [1, 2].Our resulting force balance costs less than $125, and our static loading tests show that the setup isable to achieve an accuracy of ±8% error, with a mean absolute percentage error of 2.5%compared to the ground truth value. Our force balance is also precise, with an average standarddeviation of only

is to describe a low-cost and hands-onactivity of simplifying systems of parallel forces for the engineering mechanics (Statics) course. One ofthe most fundamental concepts in Statics is to reduce a system of forces to a force-couple system. As ahands-on activity can reinforce a fundamental concept, a demonstration unit was prepared using digitalweight scales, a clear acrylic sheet, weights, and leveling feet. Once the concept of simplifying a systemof parallel forces was covered, multiple demonstration units were given to different groups of students toperform a task along with instructions.Introduction:Statics is the most fundamental engineering mechanics course for different engineering programsincluding Aerospace, Civil, Biomechanical
