). Efficient communication of this information isfacilitated by drawing a rectangle and labeling it model. One then draws a series oflabeled input and output arrows.What is (are) your system model(s)? This is the most challenging question because itrequires writing relationships (mathematical formulations) that indicate how the systemoutputs are functions of the system inputs. However, this step is most definitelyfacilitated by examining the answer to the previous question.What are your assumptions? This question is important because whenever one writes amathematical relation for an engineering system there are usually accompanyingassumptions, e.g., steady state, V-L equilibrium, Newtonian fluid, etc. If one changes theassumption(s) then the model(s

These laboratoryexperiences are designed to lead participants by hands-on experimentation through theuse of technology in support of many everyday activities. The lab experiences are simpleenough to isolate and illuminate the underlying basic principles and complex enough torepresent real-world examples.

The major component of this work is the second set of tools: the Visual Simply SupportedBeam (VSSB) and the Visual Cantilever Beam (VCB). These beams involve hands-on experienceand visualization of reaction forces and moments, as well as deformations and stresses. Bothbeams are instrumented with load cells, which measure force and moment reactions that occur atthe support(s). In order for students to analyze a variety of configurations, beams of differentcross-sections can be interchanged in both the Cantilever and Simply Supported set-ups, and

In thebeer brewing modules, student teams discuss packaging, marketing, and GMPs. In thehuman body modules, student teams study metabolism, work, and mass transferprinciples as they relate to the human body. Students found the chocolate experiment a“fun and exciting” introduction to food processing.

A simpleone-dimensional word problem will illustrate the thought process that our students learn tofollow when solving all kinematics problems. A car is moving at 25 m/s when the rider applies the brakes, giving the car a constant deceleration. During braking the car travels 80 meters while reducing its speed to 15 m/s.
