The following paper describes the integration of a Formula SAE (FSAE) teamproject into a junior-level mechanical engineering experimentation course; it represents one ofnine projects in this course.The first half of the course is divided into modules that, for all students, progressively address: 1)the measurement chain and laboratory best practices using pre-existing experiments, 2) sensordesign, selection, and calibration, 3) statistical data analysis and uncertainty limits, and 4)technical communication skills. The second half tasks student teams to propose, design, build,and carry out an original experiment to an engineering problem they perceive can

Engineering’ departments in USuniversities have evolved into interdisciplinary and collaborative Materials Science andEngineering programs. Over the last few decades, MSE has become collaboratively involved inthe fields of biology (biomaterials and biomedical research), mechanical engineering (machinecomponents, MEMS and tribology), electrical engineering (semiconductors), physics andchemistry (nanomaterials and solid-state physics research). The applicability of MSE to varioustraditional engineering programs also means that students from other (not majoring in MSE)disciplines are also required to register for an introductory level materials class as a part of theircore undergraduate curriculum. However, many of the traditional textbooks that are

In order to familiarize students inan Unmanned Aerial Systems major with this possible change, a junior level course wasstructured around tracking sUAS in a way which mirrored certified aircraft. The course focusedon integration on an off the shelf autopilot into a four pound 3d printed quadcopter. Student ingroups of two were required to fly ten missions in outdoor, real world conditions. At the start ofclass, students within the class, created a course specific preflight checklist. Before each flight,there students were required to follow this checklist. Also, each component on the quadcopterhad its own

It is alsopredictable, however, given the generality of the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology (ABET) student learning outcome (outcome four) associated with ethics: studentsshould have “an ability to recognize ethical and professional responsibilities in engineeringsituations and make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineeringsolutions in global, economic

Students were given achoice between these three platforms based on interest and resource availability (for example,developing for iOS requires access to an Apple computer).The third learning objective focused on developing the soft skills required to flourish asengineers: “A successful student leaving this course will create a personal learning network.”Students learned to work effectively in teams

In short, there is an urgent requirement forprojects that need multidisciplinary design.Meeting University Writing Course RequirementsA Texas A&M University requirement for graduation is that all students must complete twowriting-intensive courses or one writing-intensive and one communication-intensive course priorto graduation. For students in the ESET program, the communication course requirement issatisfied by the first capstone course. In order for a class to qualify as a University-approvedcommunications course, the students must individually complete a certain level of graded writtenand oral communication assignments.

printed elementsselected were friction pendulum isolators. Seismic isolators or bearings are a popular means ofprotecting a structure against earthquake forces and have been used for over a century with thegreatest progress made in the past 50 years. It relies on the introduction of an isolator, i.e., ahighly flexible layer between the structure and the ground, increasing its fundamental periodproducing rigid body motion. This design is effective for improving structural integrity. Thenumerous isolators available are categorized as elastomeric or friction isolators. Elastomericisolators are made of a rubber-like material that uses elasticity and plasticity to dissipate energy,while friction isolators use the frictional coefficient of the surface
