As part of the design analysis thestudents developed the system of equations necessary to simulate the engine and used them in acomputer model to predict the design and off-design performance of the engine. The results ofthese computer simulations were used to size and design the various engine systems andcomponents. The engine systems and components designed by the students included acombustion chamber, fuel system, ignition system, lubrication system, starting system,instrumentation, and test stand. The combustion chamber was designed based on required airand fuel flow rates predicted by the engine simulation. The combustion

One particular concern is that as students becomeincreasingly competent with computers, their understanding and comprehension of “structuralreality” may suffer.This author firmly believes that physical models are an essential part of a balanced structuralengineering curriculum.† This belief is particularly made firmer in light of the increasing use ofcomputers in all facets of engineering practice and education. Physical models also appeal todifferent modes of learning. Testing laboratories traditionally provided opportunities for “hands-on” learning yet are expensive in both equipment, space, and labor needs.

In other cases, being able to “tinker” with an object was an appealing aspect ofelectrical engineering or a rationale for entering an engineering program. In a few cases, theywere finally achieving their goal of being able to take everything they had been learning in classand building a car, robot, or other device. In one case, a student identified signal processing astoo theoretical, and her interest in bioengineering stemmed from the applied nature of the courses(e.g., more laboratory experiences and real-life problems).
