determining aninduction machine’s torque-speed curve was less desirable. We paid to have the system alignedprofessionally, a costly thing for a university laboratory nearly 200km from the nearestalignment contractor. We did not want to decouple the machines because of the cost ofrealigning them. Therefore, we created a test method to find appropriate machine modelparameters without decoupling the machine.Incumbent Testing MethodThe current method to characterize an induction machine’s torque-speed curve is represented inFigure 1. In this method induction machine (IM) is operated as a motor and is supplied three-phase AC voltage and current from the utility. The induction motor’s shaft couples to a DCmachine. The DC machine acts as a generator that
and how to useit to graph a wave or plot a frequency response (e.g., impedance of a component with parasitics)to inspect resonance are discussed. The students become familiarized with Keysight AdvancedDesign System (ADS) in the context of AC analysis of resonators. That lays the foundation forusing ADS for S parameter analysis discussed later in the course.Stage 2 (4 weeks): Transmission line (TL) theory and related topics such as reflectioncoefficient, standing wave, impedance transformation, short/open circuit lines (stubs), concept ofmatching, and power flow are covered. As the focus remains on voltage and current waves intwo-conductor TLs (e.g., coaxial cable), students would not face any EM-focused discussions.The only related background
rolein trade-off design.2.1.2 Electronic circuits labElectronic circuits lab requires students to build an AC-DC power supply that also incorporates aDC-DC converter in the form of a simple LDO shown in Fig. 2b. The converter in Fig. 2b uses aVz = 4.7 V zener diode that is used as a voltage reference generator. The design specifications aregiven in terms of output voltage, ripple constraints, load current requirements. The referencegenerator circuit is the same to the circuit shown in Fig. 2a and also follows very similar designmethodology. Since the reference generator circuit appears in a different context and studentfocus is on meeting design specifications, the connection to circuit shown in Fig. 2a is oftenmissed.

was conducted using the Subnado underwater sea scooter by Waydoo. Thiswas placed in a tank of water with the turbine. The scooter was then set to low power (the thrustwas not listed) which provided a flow to turn the turbine. Given the testing conditions, the turbinewas found to generate a maximum of about 0.85 volts. However, because the generator used wasan AC motor and the Arduino was reading DC voltage, the rapid oscillation of voltage did not givea definite result. After the installation of a bridge rectifier, a more stable voltage was recorded atapproximately 0.5 volts, but the bridge rectifier provided a 1.2 voltage drop. Using an actualgenerator, instead of a brushless AC motor inverted to a generator, more voltage could beproduced

applied to comparing sports vs science discourse in newsgroup conversations,we can compare the metadiscursive evolution of different groups of students in any givenepoch or across epochs (longitudinal) supported by rigorous parametric or non-parametricstatistical analysis in the future.We hypothesize that MDM in undergraduate (engineering) writing can indicate thepresence or emergence of an entrepreneurial mindset, metacognition, or achievement ofthreshold skills, or entrepreneurial mindset. Therefore we are pursuing an automatedMDM identification computational platform.Figure 3: Discourse analysis platform with the metadiscourse analysis page ac-tive.

second homework assignment completes the individual segment of the DEI module. Studentsare directed to a tumblr social media project in which volunteers have submitted digital “cards”detailing their own experiences with microaggressions [21]. As part of a self-reflection, studentsare asked to select any three cards with which they feel a connection, describe the reason behindtheir selection, and then indicate which previously-learned DEI techniques they would useif 1) they were the bystander observing the microaggression, and 2) if they were the recipient ofthe microaggression. The tumblr site (Figure 2), which began in 2010 and continues to acceptvolunteer submissions, contains several hundred real-life examples of microaggressions that
: Concrete Experience (CE),Reflective Observation (RO), Abstract Conceptualization (AC), and Active Experimentation(AE). After observing (CE) and reflecting (RO) on a tangible experience, the learner transformsthe experience into abstract notions (AC) that serve as the basis for constructing experiments(AE). A CE is a relevant event or incident that occurs and spurs thinking. For example, onemight have a cultural interaction while trying to execute a task. After the experience, during theRO phase, the individual reflects upon what happened. They might consider how the incidentwas successful or unsuccessful. As the thought process evolves, the experience is transformedinto abstract concepts in the AC phase. The individual constructs meaning and
