Setra pressure transducers. All flow loops wereconstructed using 2” PVC with the ability to connect pressure transducers and flow meters toLabview modules or multimeters. This setup is capable of producing stable volumetric flow ratesbetween 5-130 GPM with a maximum pressure of 45 PSI.The external flow equipment was primarily composed of an Engineering Laboratory Designwind tunnel with a working test section of 0.3x0.3x0.6m and a maximum linear free streamvelocity of approximately 7.2 m/s. For the purpose of the external flow experiment a cylinderwith a pressure tap on one face was mounted to a rotating damper actuator and allowed to rotatearound its axis. This allowed the pressure at any point along the surface of the cylinder to bemeasured

- Objectives of the Experiment and the ProjectThe following major objectives were set at the inception of the project:1. To develop an experiment and project for a complete review and a better understanding of thestatistical parameters that may heavily influence the engineering/design decision making process.2. To create an opportunity for collaborative research and design efforts between undergraduateengineering student(s) and faculty.3. To design, produce, test, and optimize a cost-effective, reproducible apparatus withoutstanding features.4. To make all information necessary for fabrication of the apparatus and conducting theexperiment and the project available to engineering programs nationwide

factor, we choose to measure the power whenthe system is set in DC MODE (Figure 3), which lead to a power factor of 1.This design was done in multiple steps using different type of hardware and software. The firststep was to obtain the value of the V (t) across the pump. In order to accomplish this task, weused the NI USB 4065 DMM, a digital multimeter which has the following characteristics ≠ Bus-powered for portability ≠ Small (7.0 by 4.1 by 1.3 in.) and lightweight (10 oz) ≠ 6½-digit resolution ≠ 7 built-in measurements - AC/DC voltage, AC/DC current, 2- or 4-wire resistance, and diode test ≠ ±300 VDC/Vrms isolation ≠ 3000 readings/s (maximum) at 4½ digitsThe second step was to measure the current flowing through

, requiring identification and control of physical device(s). The laboratory experiments are designed to complement and synchronize with the lecture course in order to best reinforce concepts learned in class with hands-on experience. Using the laboratory facility, students should be allowed to conduct design and simulation projects in a simulated virtual environment. These projects allow students the opportunity to be involved in the development of software for modern controls, embedded systems, power electronics and industrial drive control systems. Industrial need: The lab addresses the need of industry to have engineers educated in the principles and applications of state-of-the-art sensing and control

education of our youth. Not only are minoritiesin need of assistance in mathematics and science, but females also. A recent article by Dr.Pamela S. Clute, professor of mathematics and education at the University of California,Riverside, again highlights this long known fact. She states that: “While it is true that women[now] represent 57 percent of the nation’s college population, less than one-third major inscience, technology, engineering, or mathematics. Research shows they [females] have theability, but lack the interest.” [3].Staff research further produced more alarming facts: California ranked last among 40 statesaccording to the results of the 2000 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) [4]tests; US students in the final year of
