The Extension Spring Design Calculator - ESDCThe Extension Spring Design Calculator (ESDC) has its roots in a program from the industrialsector that was utilized extensively in the design of extension springs for various printers andother mechanical devices associated with the computer industry. In the mid 1980's, themainframe version of the program was upgraded and implemented as a PC-resident programwith a user interface that guided the first time user while allowing the experienced user to rapidlysupply the necessary design requirements to the

. The wind tunnel consists of a contracting inlet with flow straighteninghoneycomb followed by a plexiglas test section. Downstream of the test section is aslowly diverging diffuser and a fan that draws the flow through the tunnel. Directlyupstream of the fan is a screen to protect the fan blades from any solid objects that traveldownstream during tunnel operation. The maximum tunnel velocity is 26 m/s. Thisvelocity is not large enough to cover the entire Reynolds number range desired, but islarge enough to illustrate the drop in the drag coefficient of the golf ball once theReynolds number gets large enough that the flow becomes turbulent.To illustrate this concept a smooth wooden ball of similar size to the golf ball was used tosimulate the

Each campus organized and hostedone teleconference. The teleconferences featured a speaker or speakers who focused on studentlearning. The intention was to have the featured speaker make a presentation and then answerquestions from all four campuses. Following the multi-campus session, the host campus had aface-to-face, interactive discussion with the speaker. Table 4. Teleconference topics and speakers for the 2001-2002 NFTS group.

of including ethics in a Control Systems course, it seemed adaunting task, since the lectures were already crammed tight with technical material. Moreimportantly, since the course is a senior-level technical elective, the topics are rather abstract,making it even more difficult to establish linkages with real-world problems. However, as Ibegan to ponder on this during the Ethics Across the Curriculum Workshop, it quickly becameclear that an exposure to ethics could also provide the mechanism to make this material moreconcrete. So I began searching for a pertinent case study that would highlight the importantethical dimensions of control system design. After some searching, I found references for theBART case study from the 1960’s, which

, grading of communications assignments in engineering courses involves writtencomments from the instructor(s) designed to give students feedback on their work. Thus, forwritten assignments the instructor writes comments in the margins and/or general summativecomments at the end or beginning of the paper. Similarly, oral presentation assessments oftenconsist of feedback sheets on which the instructor has written comments during and/or after thepresentation.The ultimate aim of these procedures is of course to improve students’ competence inprofessional communications. However, it often seems doubtful that this goal is achieved. First,written assessments are time-consuming for the instructor, which can cause faculty to be reluctantto give many
