volume of waterwith solid body rotation can be shown to be ω 2 R14 h0 (3RR12 − R3 − 2R13 ) V = π[h1 R12 + + ] (2) 4g 3(R0 − R)where h1 (m) is the height of the water at the center of the frustum, ω (rad/s) is the angularvelocity, g (m/s2 ) is the acceleration due to gravity, and R1 (m) is the radius at the highestpoint of water. With the volume of water without rotation being the same as the volume ofwater with rotation (non-filtering assumption), the volume equation with rotation can beequated to the volume equation without rotation. With this, the resulting equation can

For small lab spaces without the resources of larger groups, such as a universitylibrary system, dealing with controlled access of space and equipment, equipment maintenance,stocking of supplies, and orders for students can be extremely difficult. Also, using complexsystems can be burdensome for student employees with quick turnover.

things to be done fast; their attention span has shrunk over the pastfew years. So, new engineering experiment designs have to take this into account. In thermalscience, an experiment that take over 40 minutes to reach steady state is considered very longand ‘boring’ by today’s students.Based on these trends, engineering professors are led to look for experimental designs that:  can be constructed in-house with no money or little money  can be duplicated to create more than one experimental station  take relatively short time to perform  have a clear and direct connection to theoretical concepts (not convoluted, so that students do not miss the point(s) of the experiment while trying to make sense of what they are doing

Several temperature measurementsensors are introduced including, resistance temperature detectors (RTDs), thermistors, infraredtemperature sensors, thermocouples, and silicon bandgap sensors. Their application ranges,costs, accuracies and durability are discussed. This affords the students the opportunity todevelop a trade space analysis to select the appropriate sensor(s) for the experiments presented.Understanding trade space analyses generalize to other sensors and more globally for the studentto product design in real-world situations. The students select a minimum of two experimentspresented, each with a different sensor for the measurement of temperature.The learning objectives of this

The team is confident that once the codeis refined, it will be simple to build a bigger scale system.The design could have other uses outside of construction work zones. It could also be useful inpublic safety, for hurricanes and other emergencies, especially to close roads and route traffic inone direction. If there’s a power outage, and traffic lights are inoperable, this system can be usedat these locations, a s well.

gain an enhanced visual appreciation of how trusses behave.In the 2018/19 academic year, 166 first-year engineering students at the University ofSaskatchewan volunteered for a pilot study that examined the efficacy of TrussVR©. The studywas approved by the U of S Behavioural Research Ethics Board. Volunteers completed a “pre-survey” that examined knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding trusses, before trusses had beentaught in the classroom. Participants were then randomly assigned to one of three groups: no lab,regular lab, and TrussVR© lab. All participants then attended 2 weeks of in-class lectures ontrusses, frames, and machines, as they normally would. During this time, the “no lab” group didnot complete an experimental lab on trusses

The feedback commentsfrom the experimental group after the training were more complete sentences to show theaudenice’s point of view (e.g. “You never describe how the barrel shifter is supposed tooperate.”), while some of their comments are still in the question format (e.g. “Which

Problem-basedLearning was first introduced at McMaster University in Canada, a pedagogy that stressesstudent-centered, small group learning (with teachers acting as facilitators) and organizedaround problems as specific attributes [3]. Since then, it has been widely used all around theworld, and there are many successful cases of applying PBL in professional education.Howard S. Barrows mentioned in his article that “PBL
