student performance in a particular outcome whereas the final letter gradegiven to a student is an indication of his cumulative achievement which is computed using somesort of a weighted average (30% HW grade, 20% exam grade, 10% project grade, etc.).There are three basic requirements to implement this approach: (1) At the beginning of thesemester make a course plan including assessment, (2) Break down grading along courseoutcomes on the assignments/exams using a grade box, and (3) Enter scores into gradespreadsheet for each course outcome.For faculty who have teaching assistant support, most likely items 2 and 3 would be done bytheir assistant. The most critical thing is to have a good course plan at the beginning toimplement this approach

ofinstitutions have built experiments for various heat transfer experiments.[1-6] In some casesstudents have built heat transfer experiments as part of a design project and then used theexperiment in a thermal fluids laboratory course.[7, 8].We have developed an experiment in free convection for MECE 352 adapted from one used inthe Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at The State University of New Yorkat Buffalo (SUNY Buffalo) (with permission). In the experiment, students take directtemperature readings from a vertical heated plate using thermocouples and a LabVIEW DAQinterface. The convective heat transfer coefficient can be calculated from the temperature profilenear the vertical plate and compared to analytically determined values. In

The coach chose to partner the youth totackle the problems of the robot performance part of the competition. By partnering the children,the amount of time each student participated on the robot was their own choice. Typically, atleast one of the partners could concentrate on the problem designated, giving them a chance towork almost one-on-one on the problem. When neither partner could focus on the problem, littlewas accomplished, creating a challenge of directing the youth into working. Usually, the coach,one or two mentors, and a parent volunteer were present to supervise and refocus the

Squeeze Lab. This lab was derivedfrom a colleague’s research and development project with a manufacturer of drug deliverydevices. A controlled-dosage device was being developed to deliver a single dose of liquidmedicine into a child’s mouth. The device was operated by manually squeezing a bulb. It wasimportant to optimize the design so that the drug is delivered as quickly as possible but withoutgagging the infant. An important parameter is the force that a person applies to the device duringsqueezing. The students were asked to characterize the force applied to the controlled-dosagedevice by considering a population of college students (i.e., find the mean squeeze). Formotivation, the students were told that their results would be used by the

First year students work in teams ofthree to design a small projectile launching device equivalent to a child’s toy. Teams workthrough innovation and design processes of problem identification, goal setting, research,prototyping, evaluation, and reflection. Labs during the quarter provide students skills in solidmodeling and projectile motion and design documentation, but the final project requires them tosynthesize these lessons into a single product. Students design the device virtually inSolidWorks, evaluating assembly issues of contact interference and can conduct

In this case, the MS degree is usually viewed as a terminal degree. - The time to graduation is well-defined and consistent for all students. - Students may be selected into the program as late as their senior undergraduate year (depending on how many courses are allowed to be double-counted). - Advising, tracking and mentoring the student is easier.Programs that allow only the thesis option for the graduate portion of the BS/MS programusually have the following features: - The time to graduation varies depending on the thesis research project, the faculty advisor, and the student. - Students are often selected as early as possible (in the first year of

The remaining time is dedicated to an open-ended project that requires groups ofstudents to design a mechanism to solve an engineering problem. The problem includes a set ofconstraints that must be navigated to be successful. Students are also asked to produce the partdrawings needed to construct the mechanism and use the drawings to create a prototype.ENGR 200The objective of this course is to produce students that can:  Create software to solve engineering problems using both

thatstudents do while watching the PPR media. It should be pointed out that in this class, in addition to thePPR media and in-class sessions, the students also worked homework problems, took quizzes and exams,and carried out a computational-based project. So a lot of hands-on problem-solving took place. But the“passive” nature of these technologies brings up an important question: what is the most effective way for Page 25.1412.3students to learn to work heat transfer problems or other engineering problems? There has been muchpublished regarding active learning and discovery learning, which derive mostly from the constructivistmovement in

projects provide this in a significant way, but a capstone course provides onlyone experience with a particular project. It is valuable to introduce the idea in smaller ways,when possible. Reciprocating engines provide a good vehicle for tying together manyengineering concepts. All students are familiar, at least as users, with piston engines. Theirpracticality is therefore obvious. Thermodynamics, heat transfer, combustion, fluid mechanics,mechanism design, material science, strength of materials, and electrical circuits are all needed toproduce an operating engine. Seeing this connection directly can provide motivation for study ofthe individual subjects, and a realization that required courses are not completely unrelated.Goals and Integration

The technical content of several programs (typically general engineeringprograms at state universities) was selected from the beginning to cover the FE [7, 8, 9].This project arose in a new mechanical engineering program. My intention was to use the FEExam Specifications as a single simple source on what one might expect in a mechanicalengineering program. The FE also seemed like a straightforward, objective assessment. However,as I tried to develop learning objectives that comprehensively covered FE Mechanical content, Ifound it necessary to consult multiple sources beyond the Specifications.

This approach is meant to help both teachers and students,allowing for more innovative teaching and enhanced comprehension-based learning. The projectrecognizes that students learn in diverse ways, and attempts to appeal to those who learn bestthrough visual, intuitive, and engaging methods. It draws upon real-life experiences, as well asvarious STEM/STEAM examples and activities, and targets both an understanding andappreciation of basic concepts in STEM, including Physics/Mechanics, Calculus, Statics, ControlSystems, Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Probability, Estimation, and Computer Algorithms.The material can

The current focus of Dr. Wood’s research is the continued development of empirical testing methods using similitude-based approaches. This approach provides significant potential for increasing the efficiency of the design process through a reduction in required full-scale testing and an expansion of the projected performance profiles using empirically-based prediction techniques. Dr. Wood’s research also includes the development of micro air vehicle systems using innovative conceptual design techniques for current technology implementations, as well as futuristic projections

Studentswere given the option of using Excel, IHT, EES, or similar software for plotting the curves. Allstudents selected to use Excel to complete their assigned project. The main reason was theconvenience and the availability of Excel of student personal computers.SummaryThe application of Excel spreadsheet in solving one dimensional heat conduction problems wasdemonstrated through several examples. It was shown that Excel is a useful computational toolwhen the solution to problems requires (a) varying one of the parameters, (b) plotting the resultsof calculations, and (c) an iteration process.References1.
