AC 2010-77: INTRODUCING ENERGY CONCEPTS INTO UNDERGRADUATECOURSESAdrian Ieta, State University of New York, Oswego Page 15.800.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010Introducing energy concepts into undergraduate coursesStudents are used to manipulating energy-related concepts from media and everyday life. However, manygeneral education students have never had a physics course and their understanding of energy, itsproduction, use, importance, or impact in their daily life is very limited. We report on innovative effortsto facilitate the understanding of energy-related concepts in a General Education Physics course. Weproceed with an initial evaluation of students

Educational Methods for Design Courses: Functional DormitoriesAbstractThe purpose of this paper is to describe a student-led international engineering project that isboth exciting and educational. The challenge with this project is to reach the proper balance ofstudent-led creativity and learning, collection of data, adequate expert review, and transfer ofknowledge to other students. This paper details an international student project that was thendocumented as a case study. After providing a synopsis of the example case study, a suggestedstructure for developing such a case study is provided with references to the example. This canhelp guide a faculty member design such a project in the future. A suggested classroom

technology, more software are developed, which enabledesigners and architects to create realistic three-dimensional models and virtual environments.Then why do so many design educators and practitioners still make sketchy, freehand drawingswhen computer software can be accessed, which allows them to create perfectly accurate three-dimensional digital models and then view them from any position. Sorenson (2007) explained thatin the creative working process, freehand lines and the shapes designers suggest are infinitelysuperior to mechanically engineered lines and forms. Especially early on in that partiallyunderstood, partially sensed, highly fugitive stage where the nature of a new problem and searchfor possible, alternative avenues of geometric

Mathematical Model of a Proposed Carbon Nanotube Sensor for Ultra Sensitive Acetone Sensing Ming Xia, Xingguo Xiong Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Bridgeport, Bridgeport, CT 06604Abstract: In recent years, MEMS/NEMS (Micro-/Nano Electro Mechanical Systems) sensors have attracted tremendous interest amongresearchers due to their low cost, quick response time, as well as high sensitivity and selectivity. In this paper, an ultra sensitive acetone sensorbased on carbon nanotube (CNT) structure is proposed. In this device, a
