The smartphone application, which obtains position and velocity data using a smartphone’sbuilt-in assisted-global positioning system (A-GPS) and three components of acceleration using the built-in accelerometer, is made available to students. Following data collection, the laboratory exerciserequires students to calculate and compare normal and tangential components of acceleration based oneach of the two recorded data sets.

Musical Analogies as a Teaching Tool for Engineering ConceptsAbstract This project investigated the inclusion of a music laboratory experience within theexisting core Mechanical Engineering curriculum at Lafayette College. Music is a naturaladdition to engineering curricula as it can easily be used to illustrate many different engineeringconcepts. This allows students to think about their engineering topics from a differentperspective, which helps to improve their understanding of these concepts. Additionally, byusing music as a teaching tool, students are also exposed to topics from the art of music.Students completed a survey both before and after the experience in order to reflect on theirlearning. On average, the students reported a

Integrated Class-Lab Approach to a Mechanics of Materials CourseIntroductionA Mechanics of Materials course offers rich opportunities for new theoretical understandings,development of laboratory skills, and small design projects. The three-year old Campbell Schoolof Engineering is promoting a class-lab approach in most of its courses. A traditional four creditlaboratory course might meet for three hours per week of lecture/recitation in a large section and2-3 hours per week of lab in smaller sections. In contrast, the class-lab meets for the sameamount of time but does not distinguish between lab and lecture time. In our case, we meet insections of 24 students in a room with six four-person tables surrounded by laboratory

The textbook used for this course was Shrigley’s Engineering Design [1].According to the syllabus of this course, fatigue theory was covered in two-weeks out of the total14-week-semester. For this course, we had both lecture and laboratory, so we developed andimplemented an integrated active learning approach for teaching fatigue theory which includedfour different exposures to discuss and to explore fatigue theory

Some engineering programs have gone a step further and chosen to includea laboratory experience along with the lecture. 31 This approach enhances the in-class learning byproviding hands-on applications.In addition to focusing on continuous-based control systems, few engineering programs alsoinclude coverage of non-continuous (process or discrete) control that are common in industrialenvironments. Mechanical engineering graduates engage with both continuous andnon-continuous control systems; however, they play a more key role in the development ofnon-continuous systems 30 than continuous-based systems where additional education is usuallyrequired and/or their electrical engineering counterparts are better equipped.

A literature review revealednumerous examples of development and implantation of these techniques into classrooms [2, 4-6]. Kolb[7] has written extensively on the model of experiential learning and how this technique enhanceslearning and mastery of engineering concepts.

Current ABET criteria for accreditation ofengineering programs focus on the ability of students to recognize engineering problems in a realsystem and to correctly apply engineering principles to those problems. In this paper, the authorsdescribe a junior-level course in machine design that integrates a classic, theoretical treatment ofthe design of machine elements with a semester-long laboratory in which students design andanalyze a ski lift to be used on their campus.

However, this design has its drawbacks, allowingthe instructor only limited capabilities in adopting the software.The experience of introducing FlowLab into the Fluid Mechanics course at Grand Valley StateUniversity (GVSU) was mixed. The course was offered with an integrated laboratory.Complexities arose from the need to introduce the Fluid Mechanics fundamentals before anyproductive work in FlowLab could be performed, leaving limited time for thorough integration.After a few introductory demonstrations and tutorials, students used FlowLab to simulate theexperimental results from laboratories on the converging-diverging channel, flow over acylinder, and flow over an airfoil.

Preliminary Assessment of an MSC.ADAMS Control Design Project in Undergraduate Mechanical Engineering1ABSTRACT The required undergraduate controls sequence at the University of Texas El Paso consists ofa lecture and laboratory. To supplement the hardware laboratory a design project was assigned.The project used simulation software to visually model the hardware. This format differed fromtraditional projects that use software such as Simulink because the students could see thehardware moving on their computer screens not just a “scope” output. The anticipated benefits ofthe project are: • Reduced hardware maintenance costs – the students cannot damage the equipment. • Enhanced learning experience – the visual simulator can

To facilitate easyconnections to existing laboratory equipment, a custom enclosure and interface circuitry weredeveloped. This provides easy access to digital and analog I/O and a serial interface tocommunicate with a terminal program running on a PC.These tools were chosen for several reasons. Keil makes a free version of its development toolsavailable for download, with the only major limitation being the size of the code able to becompiled.

This construct argues that student learning is strongly enhanced when students arechallenged to discern and develop every aspect of the experimental process primarily on their own.Based on these relative two extremes, the instructors (authors) opted to explore if course goalscould instead be achieved through structured levels of guidance using a scaffolded learningapproach. In developing a scaffolding approach for laboratory experiments, instructors consideredkey aspects of the experience and how each aspect could be gradually incremented toward a finalgoal. Overall categories for scaffolding included guidance provided, experimental complexity,analysis complexity, and critical thinking. Aspects of scaffolding in each category are
