AssistantsOne purpose of open-ended problem solving in engineering education is to emulate professionalpractice – provide students with authentic problem-solving experiences. Engagement in theseexperiences alone is not sufficient for meeting multiple learning objectives that may range fromdeveloping conceptual understandings to developing analytical skills to developing engineering“habits of mind”1. There must be supports for providing high impact instruction, feedback, andassessment that ensure learning along desired trajectories. These might include instructortraining, mentoring, and task specific support materials. How these supports are used byinstructors will depend on, among other things, their educational background, teachingexperience, and

Before coming into the lab, pre-calculate the injection period necessary to model the target engine speed and the required fuel flow rate for the engine specified above. Also, conduct an uncertainty analysis so that you have some reasonable collection volumes and times in mind.2. Use the volume collection method, along with the Fuel Injector Test Bench, to calibrate your fuel injector over a reasonable range of pulse widths.
