persistent and cannot be easily debunked by standardinstruction with lectures, textbooks, demonstrations or laboratories. Educators and researchers havelooked at using computers to enhance classroom instruction ever since the technology made itfeasible to do so. This is particularly effective for topics that involve motion of objects or othersignificant visual components that are not easily represented on a black board. Simulation programsalso allow complex systems to be quickly and easily modeled and can be adapted to many differentlearning styles. The authors have collaborated in the development of a dynamics simulationsoftware package that has the power and flexibility to handle the model systems normallyencountered in a course in dynamics in
development of complexproducts and processes. Systems engineering concepts are extremely important toindustry. As companies or organizations bring new products to market, whether it is asmall standalone widget or a large-scale “system of a system,” a systems approach indesign is omnipresent throughout a broad cross-section of industries today.Formally teaching systems engineering to undergraduate students is somewhatcontroversial. Some educators with an industrial background have suggested that a truesystems engineering approach can only come with years of industrial experience. Acursory look around the country indicates that a handful of institutions offer a BSprogram in systems engineering, many are computer oriented, management slanted

courseIntroductionWith the widespread increase of use of composite materials in manufacturing it has becomealmost mandatory to teach courses related to these in engineering schools worldwide. Compositematerials are manufactured with various matrix materials such as metals, ceramics and polymers.Out of these, polymers are being reinforced with fibers widely to manufacture composites. Thesecomposites are manufactured not only with specific mechanical and chemical properties foraviation and aerospace sectors but also for general use such as in sports goods, fluid containersand conduits, and vehicles for land and water transport. Thus, most of the courses1,2,3,4,5 taught atthe undergraduate level in material based programs focus on teaching about
programming to high school students; the other was to teach digital signal processing basics to burgeoning sophomores in the engineering technology program before they have even taken the DSP course in their junior year and work on their capstone senior project. In both cases, the delivery was well received and the students were able to understand most of the basic concepts within a very limited time. 8. Conclusions Ultimately the hardware and software laboratory material developed in this paper was developed by students for students. With basic knowledge on how FFT’s and DFT’s can be computed as well as of the Python language; there should be no problem in writing these algorithms. This paper presented a FFT, DFT
governmental) are assessing colleges and universities.As engineering educators we have been assessing student learning and course and programoutcomes for years under the context of ABET evaluation, we are much better positioned thansome of our liberal arts colleagues. Those of us who teach as part of the engineering curriculumhave recognized for many years that if we do not measure what students are learning then wereally do not know what or how to teach. We believe that by measuring student learning, withvalid and robust instruments, we can adjust the curriculum and pedagogy to increase studentlearning. We should be teaching with research based active-learning activities, assessing whatour students know and address their misunderstandings before they

The goal was tointroduce different unit operations through a fun process example that was simple enoughfor the students to follow. The process needed to involve simple chemistry and provideopportunities for introducing different unit operations, teamwork, ethics andsustainability. The other challenge, due to lack of laboratory space, the process ideallywould not require the use of a

regarding class size, teaching load, laboratory availability,service expectations or research requirements.Policies and procedure requirementsEach accrediting group features policies and procedures that regulate the release of informationto the public. Prior to an accreditation visit, programs should review the latest requirements toensure compliance, especially on websites and in printed materials. These often change andprograms are expected to be up-to-date or make efforts to become compliant. For example,ABET requires three types of information to be available to the public: the program educationalobjectives, the student outcomes as well as headcount data, including enrollment and the numberof graduates. This information should be “easy” to

Students were assigned an allotted time on thetraditional milling machine. Then a didactic approach was employed to teaching thestudents (in pairs) prescribed content. Each group of students machined two cuts on awork piece as per the technician’s instructions. All machine and work-piece set-ups wereexplained to the students but carried out for the most part by the technical staff. Theduration of this machining exposure was approximately one hour.Practical experience - Experimental GroupStudents in the experimental group experienced

The CAD projects vary widely, e.g. as characterized by the geometric features present in the parts,assembly structure, number of parts in the assembly, overall complexity, physical scale, industry represented, inaddition to coloring and other presentation and viewing issues. The primary purpose of this effort is to elegantlyshowcase the body of quality work generated in a relatively compact manner to permit an enjoyable perusal andreflection that may be of use to others teaching future CAD courses or others, such as students interested in CADwork in a BSME program. In addition, one can see the natural evolution of the course since it was first taught overthe past 3 ½ years. The projects demonstrate the application of CAD knowledge
called tasks compete for precious processor operating time of a singleprocessor. The processor must prioritize tasks depending on system requirements toensure that all tasks complete their required activities. Due to its complex nature, aRTOS is a difficult subject to teach in undergraduate institutions. Often it is difficult forthe students to visualize the intricacies and inter-relationships between component partsof the system To help students to ‘see’ the operations, we have developed a visualhardware simulator that interfaces to an embedded controller. In our application, we usethe popular Motorola HCS12 microprocessor as the simulator’s host system. Thesimulator can be easily interfaced with other processor families. The simulator
