What did you learn from this project experience? ≠ I understand that communication and organization are the keys to a successful team project. ≠ I understand that keeping control of project timelines are important. ≠ I learned that everyone in a project do not contribute equally. ≠ I now understand that “divide and conquer” is an important strategy in engineering projects. 2.

In addition, the apparatus designed by companies specializing in educationequipment may not exactly reflect the educational objective intended by the faculty. Theseobstacles had forced us to seek and search different venues to acquire experimental laboratoryapparatus for demonstrating heat transfer principles. We concluded that such an apparatus can bedesigned, developed and constructed “in house” within a manageable budget. This can besuccessfully accomplished by taking advantage of the capstone senior design project andASHRAE Undergraduate Senior Project Grant Program.

In this paper a graphical technique is introduced that helpsstudents to predict the impact of Gain-Bandwidth Product limitation of a µA741op-amp.Recognizing that the real world op-amp itself can be modeled as a first order transfer function,this paper presents graphical techniques that can be used early in the design process to “pre-compensate” for gain-bandwidth product limitations. Using these techniques, students are thenable to meet specifications with their µA741 op-amps. Finally, using a more expensive (LM318)op-amp, with 15MHz gain-bandwidth product illustrate that minimal

, and reflect on the impacts their choices had on rocket performance using distincttools from the discipline of each course.Among the novel aspects of our approach is to expand beyond a two-course project sequencespanning just one academic year, a technique already used in many engineering curricula.Instead, our project is integrated into a multi-year five-required-course sequence with at least onecourse appearing in each year of the four-year mechanical engineering curriculum. We expectthis approach to engender significant benefits to student learning. First, it promotes “spacedrepetition”, wherein learners encounter the same material in briefer sessions spread over longertime periods rather than the study of information in single blocks, as

In general, the bridge circuit is used to detect small changes in theresistance of any of the resistors, which is reflected as a change in the output voltage. Thestudents are asked to derive the expression of the output voltage, Vo, as a function of the inputvoltage and the Wheatstone bridge resistive network, which contains the thermistor. The studentsare encouraged to refine their expression into the fewest terms possible to make MATLABprogramming and downstream design much easier to handle. The students are then required towrite a MATLAB script to simulate the thermistor and the Wheatstone bridge circuit. They are touse the thermistor formula (Equation 1) and the Vo(T

Results in Table 2 showthat gain in OFDM modulation is only 28.5%, which is considerably lower than other technicalconcepts such as synchronization and channel estimation, and may have been improved via ahands-on lab experiments. The concept of MIMO is covered only briefly in the lectures, andthere is no lab experiment associated with this concept. This is also reflected in the lowimprovement (17%) in students’ learning perceptions on the topic of MIMO systems.
