of hand tools, manually-operated machine tools,and CNC machines. An adjacent instructional welding laboratory provides metal joiningcapability. Access to these facilities was granted to the student SAE groups forfabrication, but finding a suitable location for the large frame jig and the long-termassembly process was not an easy matter. After several false starts in various locationsthroughout the engineering complex at MSU, it came down to intervention by the facultyadvisor and ‘squatter’s rights’ to claim and maintain sufficient floor space in the weldinglab. The facilities and space concerns added even more realism to the project as studentsrealized that they were not the only game in town.Educational Component and OutcomesFrom the

In that model, the design process includes problem definition based on clientstatement, conceptual design, preliminary design, detailed design, and designcommunication.In our research, we are attempting to scaffold meaningful conversations among designteams in order to improve the quality of their designs. While the construction of sharedknowledge occurs naturally in authentic work groups (project teams, scientificcommunities, etc.), the structure and methods employed in most university courses do notsupport these processes. Most instructional activities, such as laboratories and writingassignments, are individualistic. However, trends toward the integration of active andcollaborative learning methods in large

alumni of these competitions feel that these events helped themto gain better employment opportunities and faster career advancement? Both alumni who hadthese experiences and alumni who did not have these experiences were surveyed.This paper provides a brief introduction to the SAE design competitions along with the results ofthe alumni survey.IntroductionStarting in the early 1960s, engineering education shifted away from engineering practice andmore towards engineering science. Declining enrollments and shifting priorities causeduniversities to reduce program length. In order to accomplish this, many programs reducedapplication oriented courses and laboratories.1 This has resulted in a gap between whatuniversities are teaching, and what

The hydraulic circuit was assembled in the laboratory Page 11.755.4and its performance was tested (Figure 2). After fine-tuning the circuit for improving itsperformance, a complete 3-D CAD layout of the hydraulic circuit was developed using Pro-Engineer8.Design of Bicycle FrameAfter completion of the hydraulic circuit design, a recumbent frame was chosen for the system asopposed to designing and fabricating the frame from scratch.

multidisciplinary design that created hybrid-electricvehicles.The hybrid-electric powertrain project is divided into six discrete modules, each of which can becompleted in a few regularly-scheduled laboratory periods. A simplified diagram of a hybridpowertrain is shown in Figure 1. The powertrain is very similar to the one used in a first-generation Toyota Prius. In this design, power is supplied to a load using an air motor andmotor/generator. The contributions of the air motor and motor/generator are combined in theplanetary gearset, which is in turn regulated by a second DC electric motor. The strategyemployed by the controller is to keep the output shaft turning at a constant speed, despitevariations in load. It does this by regulating the 1) air flow

They also experienced strict real life constraints that theynever had the chance to deal with through classroom lectures and laboratories. For instance, thesystem they designed needed to operate at extremely low temperatures and at very high altitudein near space. Students learned to make performance tradeoffs based on constraints with differentpriorities. In the course evaluation, students praised this project as “the final piece of the puzzle”that enabled them to integrate the knowledge they had learned from so many engineering courseswithin one captivating project.Bibliography1.

students have not had sufficient grounding in the “design” process. Emphasis for themhas been placed upon “analysis”, and they come to our Systems Engineering courses lacking inunderstanding as to how to truly design a system. We accept it as a responsibility that this is acore notion and skill, and that no student shall graduate at the Master’s level without anappropriate level of mastery in this arena. Further, the two-step process of architecting followedby detailed subsystem design is often not well understood, even after an undergraduate course ortwo that emphasizes design, including a design “laboratory”. For those that have the appropriatebackground, an attempt is made to enhance the design process through a formal use of ways of“thinking
