In railway transportation, linear motors are used inmagnetic levitation (maglev) train systems allowing achievement of high speeds unattainable byconventional trains3. However, most textbooks on electrical machines for undergraduateengineering students either do not cover linear motors at all or provide only a cursory coverageof the topic4.Since, in general, linear motors with accompanying controllers are expensive; their use inengineering education was fairly limited.

No-slip boundary conditions were applied to surfaces except the inlet and outlet of the fluid chamber for the Navier Stokes model (𝒖 = 0). At the inlet of wind tunnel, a constant velocity was used and outlet pressure was set as zero gage pressure ( P=0).

Case I was student ownership of thepatent rights, and Case II was university ownership. For Case I, it was decided that ownershipof any patent evolving from student work submitted in fulfillment of academic requirementswould remain with the student inventor(s). Here the inventors would pay for the patentapplication and maintenance fees if the students elected Case I.

have attained these skills in a natural way. Yet thevast majority of us require(s) some training to develop proper problem solving skills. Providing thistraining is perhaps one of the most important responsibilities resting with our educators. All too oftenstudents ‘pick up’ problem solving skills through experience or as a bye product of doing exercises inmathematics or science classes.
