Principles governing energy transformations, transport and conversion, includinglaws of thermodynamics and thermal-science are all covered. The course is a junior-level,required course in the Energy Sector (one of six strategic sectors) in the Integrated Science andTechnology (ISAT) program at James Madison University. The course is considered one of thehardest in the curriculum and enrolls about 50 students each year.Course Learning GoalsThe five overarching learning goals are to enable students to: 1. Gain a thorough understanding of the basic definitions, concepts and principles of thermodynamics. 2. Analyze thermodynamic processes and

very useful for the instructors when theyillustrated related topics to the students throughout the semester.IntroductionStatics and particle dynamics is a sophomore-level course required by most engineering majorsat universities. Compared to the introductory physics classes, where the focus is on concepts, amajor element of these classes in the engineering context is on being able to bring multipleconcepts together for making qualitative judgements. It is quite challenging for many students torelate what is covered in class to how bodies actually behave, especially if they do notunderstand concepts correctly. It is then essential for instructors to know what commonmisconceptions students have and how to correct them. Clement [1] studied

This coursetypically has 59-120 sophomore and junior level mechanical engineering students enrolled andhas been taught in a flipped format, using the SCALE-UP model (Beichner, 2008), for severalsemesters. By design, the course relies heavily on peer-to-peer instruction through cooperativelearning, and beginning in the semester of Spring 2016, the instructor aimed to move fromcooperative groups to high performing teams using principles of team-based learning (L. K.Michaelsen, Knight, & Fink, 2002). Three primary research questions were examined: 1) whateffect does the implementation of TBL have on individual student learning, compared to anoffering of the course prior to implementation; 2) what effect does the implementation of

capstone course.Capstone Program DesignOur design objective was to create a dynamic capstone program that fosters continuous studentpreparation and engagement beginning in the sophomore year. With the program, students arepresented with a spectrum of opportunities to interact with peers ranging from sophomores toseniors. Our intent was to instill a proactive and enthusiastic attitude towards the capstoneexperience and to develop strong collaborative ties between students at varied stages in thecurriculum. As illustrated in Figure 1, this framework depicts the capstone as an evolvingprogram rather than a single course in the senior year. Among the students and faculty, thisapproach is aimed at creating a common mindset of growth building to the

learning (PBL),and entrepreneurially minded learning (EML) into the engineering curriculum [1, 2, 3]. Activelearning requires students to actively discuss issues or work problems in the classroom, rather thanlistening passively to a lecture. If students informally assist one another in this process, thetechnique is deemed collaborative learning [4]. A related approach, problem-based learning,introduces engaging real-world problems for students to solve, usually as part of a group [5]. Anew twist on problem-based learning is the inclusion of student skills associated with anentrepreneurial mindset, such as integrating information from many sources to gain insight,conveying engineering solutions in economic terms, and identifying unexpected

This was accomplished by developing analysis-basedprojects that students code in a math computational program (typically MATLAB). Three ofthese projects were carried out throughout the semester in conjunction with an introduction to thedesign philosophy presented by the textbook by R.L. Norton [1]. The following manuscript (1)describes the rationale for the introducing the projects, (2) gives detail description of the projectsand (3) assesses the efficacy of the projects to achieve the objectives through results obtainedfrom a survey given to students during their senior capstone design course.1.

learn to think at the system leveland to look for relationships between design elements.The primary goals of our course were to combine a strong foundation in the analysis of machineelements with a realistic experience as a machine design engineer. This was done by presentinga conventional 3 credit course that is intertwined with a 1 credit laboratory. The lecture course isvery much a traditional class in design of machine elements. Students are introduced to oneanalytical method at a time and study the application of each method in depth. Evaluation ofstudent learning is done through traditional methods such as homework, quizzes and exams. Theselection of topics is similar to that of most design of machine elements courses.

sheet metal forming is mainly introduced in [1-2]. Formability isdefined as ability of sheet metal to be deformed plastically without any failure. In the recentyears, several studies have been conducted to characterize sheet metal formability [3-7]. Intoday’s industries, the demand for stronger material with high ductility and formability is high.The automotive industry is constantly looking for lighter material with improved materialproperties. Traditionally, the standard tensile test has been used to obtain information on stress-strain graph of materials under deformation. However, this test is limited because it onlymeasures uniaxial stress-strain behavior and is only useful up to the ultimate strength pointwhere “necking” is about to occur

).Introduction and brief literature reviewThere is no doubt that capstone courses are very important players of the final program outcomesof an academic department, and the university as a whole. Capstone courses provide ultimateacademic experience to students at the exit of their academic career. Capstone courses build upon the learning outcomes from majority of the courses they take as undergraduate level.According to Tomorrow’s Professor Postings on Teaching and Learning (Stanford University)[1], "Introducing [undergraduate] students to content that could make a contribution to their fieldhas potential benefits to the students, faculty, institution, and discipline.

Phases 1 and 2 of the project asked students tocalculate/estimate the external loads acting on the input and output shafts of the gearbox. Inthese first two phases students were able to start experiencing a typical real-world situation inwhich, unlike textbook problems, the loads acting on the system were unknown and had to bedetermined. It required searching the internet, consulting textbooks, inspecting the Baja, andmaking assumptions.

Modern optimization methods were pioneered by Courant’s paper [1] on penaltyfunctions, Dantzig’s paper [2] on the simplex method for linear programming, and Karush,Kuhn, and Tucker, who derived the KKT optimality conditions for constrained problems [3]. Theuse of nonlinear optimization techniques in structural design was pioneered by Schmit [4].Today, many engineering problems involved in design

Even though air has a low viscosity, viscousforces will still exist near the airfoil surface due to the large velocity gradients, a result ofboundary layer. These forces will result in a reduction in momentum for fluid layers immediatelyadjacent to the airfoil. If these fluid layers do not have sufficient energy to overcome the adversepressure gradient, they will reverse in direction (see Fig. 1). The reverse streams will then collidewith the oncoming streamlines causing them to separate from the body and create a wake regionrich in vortices as shown in Fig. 2.

In atraditional grading scheme, all students progress through topics and the same rate. At the end ofa unit, an exam is used to assess student mastery. All students then move on to the next unitregardless of their performance on the previous exam.In a typical mastery-based approach, an individual student must demonstrate mastery of onetopic before progressing to the next topic [2, 3, 4, 5].
