Enrollment was declining. Two of the ten full time faculty members had left.Contracts and grants were lower than other departments and were declining. There was talk of mergingthe department with Mechanical Engineering, which both departmental faculties were against, or closingdown the department entirely. The Dean agreed to a plan developed by the IE Department. The planincluded hiring a new faculty member with

An Experimental Approach for Evaluating Harmonic Frequencies of a Flexible Beam Weining Feng and Alberto Gomez-Rivas Engineering Technology Department, UH-DowntownAbstract This paper presents a simple experimental approach that can be used to evaluate lower-order harmonic frequencies of a flexible beam. The beam was simply excited by a tap at aspecific point, and the beam vibration was detected by a piezoelectric accelerometer. Thevibration data was acquired and analyzed in the frequency domain. With proper choicesof sampling frequency and the locations of the sensor, the frequency modes of a flexiblebeam can be estimated via frequency domain analysis.IntroductionThe

The course was taken byabout 120 students. The lab will be used in the Spring 2003 at Cornell and other schoolsincluding two-year and engineering technology programs. Students were given two weeks to complete the lab. The work entailed analyzing the dataprovided to determine yield and fracture strengths, shear moduli, and to deduce relationshipsbetween stiffness, strength and dimensions of the test samples. A
