for Engineering Education, 2019 Using Computer Based Simulation to Improve Learning Experience in Mechanical Behavior of Materials ClassAbstractTraditionally, the study of Mechanical Behavior of Materials class relies on solving analyticalsolution using a piece of paper and pen. With the advance of computer simulations, both hardwareand software, there is a need to advance the education with adoption of advanced computertechnologies. In this project, we recently developed a new project-based finite element modelingmodule in Mechanical Behavior of Materials class. Specifically, students are required to identifya project which requires to using a commercial finite element software package to simulate themechanical

Project management is a field that has been studiedextensively but it is usually applied to large scale projects with well-defined product deliverables(e.g. software or hardware systems). We argue that the principles of project management can bereused and applied to a process where the deliverable or end product is less tangible, but thestakes are as high – the successful attainment of ABET accreditation status. One of the most challenging aspects of establishing and forming a program that is ready foraccreditation is faculty buy-in. Take for example one of the most important areas of programcontinuous

Data from surveysand institutionally-defined leadership characteristics are presented. Finally, by teaming studentveterans with traditional students, technical writing educators can provide opportunities forstudent veterans to demonstrate in-classroom leadership and contribute experiential insight forthe collective benefit of student veterans and their traditional student counterparts.IntroductionIndustry has recognized the need for engineers with

It is particularly demanding in the scale ofcomplexity of those large-scale engineering systems. This is also true in many engineering issuesoccurring in different Navy systems. This proposal is aimed to address these issues bydeveloping an intelligent mobile sensing platform that integrates intelligent sensors (e.g., Lidarin this project) with necessary peripherals and makes it portable and customizable for differentapplications. Lidar is a range measuring sensor that uses laser signals to detect and measure thedistances and angles to the surrounding objects. Lidar has been used in variety of
