It representsa passive compliance system with minimal friction that compensates for misalignments betweenthe positioning holes on the end-effector and on the fuel cell components and the PTFE pinsmounted on the endplate during pick up and release operations. This compliance system alongwith the conical tip of the alignment pins may compensate for misalignments as large as a fewmillimeters, which are much larger than the usual limitations in a robot’s accuracy andrepeatability.The workcell for automated fuel cell assembly (see Figure 1) demonstrated during the capstonedesign project class consists of a single Fanuc S 420F robot and a workbench on

students either preferred in-class active learning or were not sure for theSpring2020 semester. The percentage of students preferring online instruction increased for theSummer 2020 and Fall2020 semesters. As an example, just slightly over 50 percent of thestudents preferred in-class instruction as of the Fall2020 semester.Keywords: Active learning, In-class exercises, Fluid mechanics, Online learning exercises,1. IntroductionFluid mechanics is a core course for many, if not all, mechanical, civil, and environmentalengineering undergraduate curriculums throughout the world. However, previous studiesindicated that the students typically view the undergraduate Fluid Mechanics course(s) aschallenging, resulting in low student performance
bothstudents and instructors. Students will likely perceive greater benefits from using concept mapsin courses evaluated on comprehensive applications. Students may also find the concept mapmore useful if it is modified to include more equations and analytical relationships. More datashould be collected to increase the sample size and control for variations in course offerings forconclusive evidence to be gathered on the impact of concept maps in undergraduate fluidmechanics.References[1] National Research Council, How People Learn: Brain, Mind, Experience, and School: Expanded Edition.

performing research, and choice of research topics. Minimum eligibility requirements for theprogram were sophomore standing or higher, 3.0 GPA, and a major in engineering orengineering science. Closely related majors in the sciences, such as materials science, physicsand chemistry, were also considered if the major closely matched a project for which theapplicant was interested. The required application materials included a standard form (contactinformation, college/university, academic major(s)/minors(s), GPA), transcript, résumé, essaydiscussing their interests in the REU program, and their choice of projects. All applicants wererequested to list two projects and rank them according to preference. Projects representative ofthe work performed in
engineering departments across the country, McKenzie, et al.1,suggest that many capstone design instructors find it easy to evaluate the performance of a seniordesign team, but struggle to evaluate the individual performance of students within the team. Inan effort to assess the performance of both groups and individuals, Grove City College hasadopted a management by objective process for individuals, similar to the process outlined byTillman2.Management by objective (MBO) originated from Peter Drucker in the 1950’s. George Odiorneand others popularized the process in the 1960’s. Odiorne describes MBO as “A processwhereby the superior and the subordinate managers of an enterprise jointly identify its commongoals, define each individual’s major areas

It must be admitted, there could have been other factors involvedthan the present study reveals.Individual SuccessesMcGuire [1] reported several individual success stories. These stories highlight students whohad not learned how to study and learn until metacognition was introduced to them. Then, whenthese students understood how to succeed, they did so, sometimes spectacularly. Similar storieswere searched for in the present study.Criteria for defining success is subjective. For this section, a “success story” was defined as astudent earning a failing score on the first exam (before the lectures on metacognition) butearning a satisfactory (C or better
peers who completed the step-by-step version (p<0.05, d=0.32). Students who are generally weaker on this material, as judged bytheir eventual overall score in this course, tended to be helped more by the open-ended version ofthe lab than students who are generally stronger on this material. This outcome suggests thathaving to design their own experimental protocol may make students more likely to understandor remember all steps involved in particular data reduction tasks. When possible, instructorsshould avoid giving students unnecessarily detailed instructions.References[1] J. S. Bruner, “The Art of Discovery,” Harvard Educational Review 31 (1961): 21–32[2] W. S.

The leadinstructor for the course organized the approximately 10 review sessions and determined whichknowledge area(s) would be covered that particular week. Students met once a week for twohours to go over the assigned knowledge area(s). Ideally, the faculty member who recorded thevideo segments came to the class that week and reviewed areas that students struggled with andanswered questions. This pairing of self-directed video study with face-to-face classroom timeallowed the student to fully review the knowledge area and have any concerns resolved.Although this project was geared

modeling is used to highlight the hidden game inclassroom problems relating to the first law. Also, students collaborate with each other to assistin understanding of first law problems. Finally, the students are given specific feedback from theinstructor and classmates to help students understand how to make judgments about heat transfer,work, and energy in first law problems.

functionality of the differentfourbar classes and inversions. In addition, the design project required the use of fourbars, whichthe students designed and modeled in SolidWorks®. The students assembled critical functionprototypes of their fourbar designs as part of a lab exercise, and then manufactured fourbars on awaterjet cutter for their competition robots. Lastly, two of 28 Excel® problems were related tofourbars: one in which the students analyzed S + L ? P + Q to determine the Grashof condition,and one that applied Excel®’s Solver function to solve for the output angle if the input angle andlink lengths are known.In the old ME 1000, students saw fourbars in one lecture (including synthesis examples), wererequired to use fourbars in the design
from under a time crunch. Nonetheless,students had a positive perception of the increase in their understanding of fluids and heattransfer. Future work may seek to quantify this increase in student understanding of 3D printingas well as fluids and heat transfer. Additionally, explicit instruction around task planning andtime management may allow motivated students to complete the project as intended.References [1] H. a. A. S.
