DesignIntroduction A senior level project requiring the design, fabrication and testing of an idealized lifthook is discussed. The primary objective of the project is to address the issue of solutionaccuracy1 and its importance in computer aided design (CAD). Secondary objectives of theproject are to reinforce the CAD process, introduce the computer numerically controlled (CNC)machining process, and to provide some of the tools and skill helpful to students during theirsenior capstone design projects. The primary CAD tools used in the completion of the project are solid modeling and thefinite element method (FEM). Critical to the successful application of the FEM, under allcircumstances, is the generation of an accurate solution. As defined

Its importance is also reflectedin several of the ABET criteria for accreditation of engineering programs (Criterion 3), as shownbelow1: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems (k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.While the Capstone Design project usually provides a mechanism for applying engineeringanalysis beyond the context of a topical course, it also often highlights the difficulty studentshave in applying prior knowledge in new situations.

Theseobjectives are achieved through a hands-on, project-based laboratory coupled withcomplementary theory-based lectures. This class differs from typical introduction to engineeringcourses because it is offered to sophomores, which enables higher-level engineering content tobe covered. The topics addressed in this paper are the initial development of the course, theevolution of the course over the past eight years, the current state of the course, studentassessment of the course, and plans for future development.1.

To address these shortcomings, a low-cost solar water heaterdesign project was developed and integrated concurrently between a mechanical engineeringheat transfer course and a thermal systems laboratory course. The low-cost constraint reinforcedphysical understanding of heat transfer concepts and ensured messy, non-ideal designs to whichtheoretical modeling could not be neatly applied. A heat transfer concept inventory to assessstudent learning showed minimal gains in student understanding while a self-report attitudesurvey administered to the students demonstrated that they

While a number of centers, such as Stanford University’s d-school and NorthwesternUniversity’s Segal Design Institute have existed for a long time, a significant number of otherengineering centers have recently been established and even more are in the planning phase.These centers generally offer a location, infrastructure, and support for the university communityto learn and work in a hands-on project-centered environment. Though each design center has aunique purpose relative to its home institution, the centers have all had a significant impactinstilling design experiences into the campus culture.

FEA software and then ask students to conduct a team-design project with an FEAsimulation. The commercial FEA software typically has a user-friendly interface. Students cansuccessfully follow the lecturing and demonstration of the main skills, and implement skills tocomplete homework. However, we found that most of the students had difficulty initiating andcarrying through such FEA simulations on a design project. To solve this issue in our FEA-related course, we created a faculty-guided team design project (a minor design project) beforethe major design project on a real product. The main objective of this faculty-guided teamdesign project is to support the development of student’s FEA simulation skills through thisproject. The faculty
