Since the input motion is applied on the base plate through a crankshaft, the input frequency can be controlled by the rotational speed of that crankshaft. From the experiments it was found that this apparatus can display the resonance when the input frequency approached its nature frequency 39.33 rad/s. 4.

benefit of the new program, majorintrinsic benefits were gained in the areas of community-building and creating transparent andinclusive processes, which will hopefully translate to trust and open communication regardingfuture resources, staffing, and course sharing. Although the launch of the program feels like amajor accomplishment after a long arduous journey, of course the work is really just beginning.The program chair and advisory committee are currently developing an assessment plan andmarketing materials and working with existing departments and programs to staff upcomingcourses.References[1] Lafayette College Special Collections and College Archives[2] K.

The lab session is a demonstrationon quad-copter flight and autonomous tracking. A second autonomous vehicle is tracked by thequad-copter at a known distance and altitude.Water Channel and Particle Image Velocimetry OperationUNCC has the nation’s fourth largest water channel (by flow rate) and one of only a handful ofTomographic Particle Image Velocimetry (TomoPIV) systems. This research tool has a 1m high x1m deep x 3m long test section and with a maximum flow velocity of around 1 m/s. Each iterationof the class has utilized a different model in the water channel
3’s was about the same. It is fascinating that in the span of 3 midterm exams, the performance of “corequisite” group improved by nearly 20 points, to the point that their overall mean score was statistically better than the “prerequisite” group (with up to 94% confidence), a complete reversal of the results of Exam 1. It is clear in this case that the “corequisite” group of students started to develop a better understanding of the course material between the first and second exams and continued to improve until the end of the quarter. On the cumulative Final Exam, which was identical in the two quarters, the two groups performed in a virtually identical manner. This suggests that by the

the US and even around the world. This accreditation certainly ensures highquality of the engineering education that is provided to the students. However, with ABET’sapproach of accrediting individual programs, universities (and departments) tend to develop theirengineering programs largely in isolation. There is likely to be a strong overlap between thecollege-level math and basic sciences courses that are required by ABET, but the courses onengineering topics may or may not be common across multiple programs. There could certainlybe overlap based on the history of how these courses were initially designed, the programs theywere initially offered under, the faculty member(s) who designed and/or taught them, scheduling,etc. Universities and

themselves come from a demand forinnovation, not just an interest or conventional idea for an encapsulating project. Generally, theprojects come from one of two places. Most commonly, MUSE faculty (along with theconnections they have made in their previous endeavors and continued careers) generatepotential projects that will push students to innovate and create new solutions for real-worldproblems. Alternatively, students have the option of finding their own project to work on bycontacting companies for industry-based projects. As long as the project is approved by thestudents’ advising professor(s), the project can be pursued. The requirement of finding actualvalue in the project, outside of being a grade, is an essential start to creating a real
development program [1], [16]. This paper provided a brief overview of theprogram’s construction and content. We then discussed how our preliminary results showed thecohort’s overall strengths and weaknesses, and also that their professional reputation for somecompetencies varies between subordinates, peers, and advisors. Insights like these will helpparticipants interpret their reports, and design the best development goal for well-roundedgrowth.AcknowledgementsThis material is based upon work supported by the National Science Foundation under GrantNumber 1545211.Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are thoseof the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science
