The design consists of an inner and outer housing tomaintain the temperature and relative humidity conditions; pneumatic cylinders to apply the contactpressures; and various instruments and a data acquisition system to calibrate and record systemconditions. The undergraduate authors were heavily involved in the design and documentation(orthographic projection and 3-D CAD drawings) of the housing; sensor selection; and data collectionfor the calibration of the pneumatic system.

“Final Experiment” is to give the students a chance to plan, design,conduct and analyze an experiment of their own using appropriate DOE techniques. The contextof the experiment is limited only by the student’s imagination. They may conduct experimentsdirectly connected to their research, a project that they are involved in at work, or they couldconduct a “household” experiment. Students use the knowledge that they have gained byrunning the previous in-class experiments to plan their own experiment.
