In general, wind generators operate satisfactorily atcertain wind speeds which are rarely present in some geographic locations, and at other than therated speed, they have poor performance. A permanent magnet three-phase alternating current(AC) generator was built in this project and it allows

“semester project on steroids”, students at theOregon Institute of Technology set the lofty goal of designing and constructing a RapidPrototyping (RP) machine based on an international community of “Rep-Rappers” (ReplicatingRP Machines) that was started at the University of Bathe, England [1]. The idea is based onbuilding machines that can reproduce almost all of the components to make copies of themselvesusing the RP process, and through collaboration with other groups, implement improvements tothe previous generation of machines. By looking at the machine in terms of subsystems,multiple engineering strategies and tools were employed to complete the project. The studentsalso had to consult with experts from other departments, local industry and

The GLUEprogram will be five years old in Spring 2009.This undergraduate research experience involved a project in the field of robotics. Safety inhuman-robot interaction is an issue that has received much attention in the literature recently. Tomake robot manipulators safe around humans, it is important to be able to control them in torquemode in addition to velocity control capability. The undergraduate research project presented inthis paper focused on determining the motor current to output torque relationship for acommercial robot actuator, which in turn enables torque-based dynamic control.

Some researchobjectives have been achieved by dividing an objective into manageable laboratory projects thatcan be completed by undergraduate students in a few weeks.The anodic dissolution µECM process effectively forms and shapes micro components from anyconductive material. Unlike classical ECM technology, the novel µECM utilizes very highfrequency pulses and proprietary electrode shapes/motions to remove materials at the micro ornano scales, and can mass-produce micro components with exceptional quality and surfaceintegrity. A theoretical model is developed which agrees with experimental data for 316Lstainless steel and copper beryllium alloy.

In 2007/08, one of these capstone design projects wasto design and build a robot to participate in the BotsIQ National Competition. This robot wasbuilt to meet the BotsIQ 120lb weight class specifications.A BattleBot is a robot which possesses fighting capabilities and competes against otherBattleBots with the intent to disable them. The weapon is the main component of these robots.BattleBots compete one on one and the winner is determined by the amount of damage inflictedto the other using the weapon.In the 2007-2008 academic year, a team

Due to some significant issues with the 2007 Baja SAE team,West Point did not compete in the 2007 competition. Because Baja SAE is conducted as a seniorcapstone design project, the lack of competitiveness led the senior faculty advisor to examine theprogram and take steps to prevent future failures. A brief history of the West Point Baja SAEprogram, course framework, and steps taken to revitalize the program are discussed in

A primarygoal for this course is for students to understand basic concepts from electronics,electromagnetics, and signals and systems along with how these concepts are integrated torealize a working radio. Students studied schematics, received training in how to solder,modeled portions of the circuit with PSpice, and studied operation of a variety of devicesincluding diodes, transistors, and antennas. Towards the end of the semester, students weretasked with a design project. This tended to be the students’ favorite part of the course, beingsomewhat more involved than the kit

Twenty-five first-year engineering students (six teams)participated in the study and their team discussions were video and audio recorded betweenFebruary and May 2007. During the study, students worked on three design projects: a firerescue project, a pharmaceutical lozenge design project, and a street-crossing problem. A three-stage sequential mixed-methods approach (qualitative quantitative qualitative) was used fordata analysis. The first and second stages involved the coding of student talk and correlationanalyses between self-efficacy, achievement, and discourse type. Results from these two phaseswere presented in detail in a previous paper. In summary, the analyses showed a
