While such text sources might beavoided, most compromised problems are effectively disguised by changing the associateddiagrams and graphics and rewording the given and find statement(s). Constant vigilance isrequired to stay one step ahead of the misdirected. Fortunately, routine revision of assignmentsets is a task that is accomplished with only a fraction of time and effort invested to initiallycreate the set.Exemplar Answer KeyThe familiar textbook answer key is used by some students to verify the correctness of theirsolution.

appropriately, simulation can be used to wring the mostperformance out of engineered systems at an acceptable cost. A vivid example of this is the caseof the Speedo LZR swimsuit which was developed through a combination of simulation andphysical testing. Experts used FLUENT, a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD)software, to design modifications in the suit that led to a reduction in the water drag on thewearer. Swimmers wearing the LZR suit went on to claim 33 of the first 36 medals in the BeijingOlympic games and continue to break world records, as reported in the popular press6. If mostengineers, not just specialists with Ph.D.’s, are able to deploy simulation effectively, there wouldundoubtedly be significant improvements in the engineered

parametric design studies.The authors propose that all variables be retained symbolically, and all equations are writtensymbolically in natural form without any algebraic manipulation. Once all equations aredeveloped, they are solved by the method of choice, i.e., by hand and/or, preferably, a modernengineering tool. The authors strongly endorse using a commercial program equation solver forall but the most straightforward problems, supported by verifying the result. This approachallows the students to focus on the basic fundamental physics of the problem rather than on thealgebraic manipulation required to isolate the required solution variable(s). The proposedapproach allows a natural extension to design since all equations are in symbolic form

Experience with a student “engineered” pump test usingPTC 8.2 Centrifugal Pumps will be described later in this paper.Having the students read and report on a PTC (or a few sections of a PTC) is simple toimplement and allows for a wide range of flexibility. The topic of the course allows theinstructor to pick the appropriate PTC(s) to be read and reported. For example, if the course isFluid Mechanics, PTC 19.5, Flow Measurement would be an obvious choice.

experience both the frustration and satisfactionof that experience. Such learning prepares them for professional practice in ways that a projectrequiring only a paper/computer design does not. For instance, students in the lower end designteam, while having some background due from their coursework, became much more proficientand confident in their understanding of design and machining. Students designed, programmed,setup, machined, and inspected complex CNC parts. They assembled the parts into a completemachine and successfully tested it. They were able to adapt their engineering skill sets to theproject at hand. This was a lifelong-learning experience the student will not soon forget.Bibliography 1 Sheppard, S., Macatangay, K., Colby, A., &

are described below. The wind tunnel has a test section measuring approximately 12 in x12 in x 24 in (305mm x 305mm x 610mm), and has a maximum air speed of approximately 140mph (63 m/s). It is instrumented with an electronic strain-gage based balance for measurementsof normal force, axial force, pitching moment, and pressure distribution as a function of air speedand angle of attack. Both manual as well as electronic pressure sensing is available on thisfacility. An electronic pressure scanning unit containing 32 individual electronic pressuresensors is also used in conjunction with this facility. This latter unit can be used to provide real-time visualization of the pressure distribution in the wind tunnel, in much the same manner as ithas
