Thehallway used for testing is 7.5 feet wide by 43 feet long. When the car started with a clear viewof both sides of the hallway, it was able to stay close to the center of the hallway most of thetime. However, sometimes the car would travel in an S or zig-zag pattern, by overcorrecting inone direction and then overcorrecting again in the opposite direction about the center of lane.The zig-zagging resulted in lateral deviations of up to 1 foot on either side of the center of lane,and crossing the center of lane up to 13 times while traveling down the hallway.

The difference incooling behavior of the two metal toast samples is because the black toast is a better emitter ofradiation and when the power is cut off, the black toast is much warmer than the inner walls ofthe toaster, and air inside the toaster. The toast experiment presented here is a good in-class demonstration to motivate discussionof radiation heat transfer. After students attend lecture(s) on radiation, they return to thelaboratory for more extensive experimental investigation. Measurements in the follow-upexperiment include (1) comparison of additional surface properties, (2) use of thermocoupleswith radiation shields to measure the air temperature inside the toaster, (3) investigation ofcooling in different

World War II engineering instruction included ahealthy amount of laboratory or fieldwork to balance theory. Students were taught not only how Page 11.113.2to design a product but how to build it from scratch. The publication of the Grinter Report1 in1955 marked a shift to the theoretical side of engineering. Due to a combination of issueslaboratories started to become prohibitively expensive during the 70’s and were further scaledback2. In the 80’s the pendulum swung back as the, then new, conventional ABET accreditationcriteria recognized the importance of laboratory techniques with set accreditation requirements.Recent years, however; have seen

In the following we will refer to the Zwick Z 250’s usage for performingtensile tests. This test is one of the most common and efficient tests for determining materialproperties12. The properties are important for designing manufacturing processes and can beused in forming applications like FEM-Simulations (e.g. simulation of forming processes orproduction processes). Hence, it is on the one hand a very basic but on the other hand an im-portant test in context of manufacturing technology. Figure 1: Tele-operative testing cell at TU Dortmund
