ways this is not the idealmechanism of matching expertise. The most experienced person delivers rather standard lectures(close to the text and PowerPoints or lecture notes) with little interactions. The person to whomstudents can take their questions, frustrations and confusions is often far less experienced. Itmight be akin to having the physicians taking medical history and vital signs, while difficultdiagnosis is referred to the nursing staff (or physician assistants). By far, the most expensivecomponent of teaching is faculty time. T.A.’s are usually the second most costly resource sincethere are often as many as four required in larger class).

The functionality of each block, such as the user interface, motion controller,feedback sensors, is briefly introduced followed by example hardware used in industry to buildthese blocks.Module 2 Motion Profile - (3 lectures) examines how the motion profile is generated when an axisof a machine makes a move. After an overview of basic kinematics, trapezoidal and S-curvevelocity profiles are explained.Module 3 Drive-train Design - (7 lectures) is on mechanical design of a motion axis. It primarilyconcentrates on proper selection of a motor and gearbox to meet the desired motion profilerequirements of the axis. Concepts of inertia reflection, torque reflection and inertia ratio areintroduced. Five types of transmission mechanisms are

compare with othervehicles, it is customary to solve for the rolling resistance coefficient(s) and thecoefficient of drag. These values provide insight into the causes of the road load forceand let the designer compare values with other vehicles.Equation 1.1 can then be substituted into equation 1.2, providing a relationship betweenthe two unknown parameters µ 0 and CD, and the vehicle speed and rate of deceleration.By measuring the vehicle speed and deceleration (and by also determining the frontalarea and air density), we can solve for the rolling resistance and the coefficient of drag.These coefficients can then be used to predict the motion of the vehicle in response tovarying tractive effort and conditions.The simplest method to determine

It is instrumented with an electronic strain-gage basedbalance for measurements of normal force, axial force, pitching moment, and pressuredistribution as a function of air speed and angle of attack. Both manual as well as electronicpressure sensing is available on this facility. An electronic pressure scanning unit containing 32individual electronic pressure sensors is also used in conjunction with this facility. This latterunit can be used to provide real-time visualization of the pressure distribution in the wind tunnel,in much the same manner as it has been used to

The idea being that if two machines share an event, thenthe occurrence of that event in each of the machines must be synchronized. If a machine has anevent that is not shared, then that event may occur without regard to the other machines. Page 11.829.4 I f r s W

The last comment above, and those immediately below, show many students found working with a partner motivated them to prepare as well as they could for the quizzes.  In my case, i felt more of a responsibility to do well on the quizzes, because it was not only my grade being affected, but someone else’s grade as well  I believe that the quizzes helped motivate me to work the practice problems because when taking a small group quiz you have to be able to help your partner(s).  When we
