in engineering established by the National Academy ofEngineering. What might not be as familiar to many of them is one of the challenges known as“Engineering the Tools of Scientific Discovery” In the summary of this challenge provided onthe NAE website [1] one can read the following: “In the popular mind, scientists and engineershave distinct job descriptions. Scientists explore, experiment, and discover; engineers create,design, and build. But in truth, the distinction is blurry, and engineers participate in the scientificprocess of discovery in many ways. Grand experiments and missions of exploration always needengineering expertise to design the tools, instruments, and systems that make it possible toacquire new knowledge about the

ANSYS Simulation of Piezoelectric Patch for Energy Harvesting Pratik Dudhat, Qing Li, Sijin Ren Mechanical Engineering Department, University of New Haven1. IntroductionPiezoelectric materials have the capability to produce a voltage when deformed, and they deformwhen an electric voltage is applied. These are characterized as direct and indirect effects ofpiezoelectric materials respectively. The direct piezoelectric effect is utilized in energy harvestingmechanism since the system absorbs the vibration energy from the host structure and converts thatto electrical energy.

and Pennsylvania fields are typically<100 acres. In fact, the average farm size in Pennsylvania is ~130 acres whereas the averagefarm in Kansas is ~750 acres (and other Midwest states are far larger). Moreover, thetopography of the farms in Maryland and Pennsylvania varies widely. Figure 1 shows aNormalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) image from a portion of a typical Pennsylvaniafarm consisting of corn, soybeans, and some plowed fields (mainly red) late in the season.Overall, NDVI is a methodology to examine whether or not the vegetation is healthy. Green inthis image indicates healthy vegetation, while the red areas on the image are primarily fields thathave no vegetation or crops just starting to grow
engineering educators. Accreditation visits are a part ofthe regulatory framework that engineers must live within. While stemming from a “self-regulatory” framework,compliance is not optional. It is within this regulatory framework that the CEAB introduced the new outcomes-based graduateattribute accreditation system. This was borrowed very openly from the similar changes ABET made in theearly 2000s. However, there are a few notable exceptions. 1. A knowledge base for engineering: Demonstrated competence in university level mathematics, natural sciences, engineering fundamentals, and specialized engineering knowledge appropriate to the program. 2. Problem analysis: An ability to use appropriate knowledge and skills to identify

Individual development stage should start in the second half ofthe 3rd year, so that students may have enough time to develop their development areas beforegraduation. 1Relating “Student Outcomes” with the concept of “Competency”The Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology revised its Criterion 3 student outcomes in fall 2017. The seven new studentoutcomes resulted, enumerated 1 – 7, replacing the previous eleven (11) student outcomes,designated a – k (Turner and others 2018). These changes to Criterion 3 will be implemented forthe 2019-20

Problem-Based Learning: A Tale of Three Courses 1 Problem-Based Learning: A Tale of Three Courses Lisa Greenwood, Mark Indelicato, Miguel Bazdresch, and Mike EastmanAbstractCourses in engineering and science are typically taught deductively, through transmission ofinformation from instructor to student, followed by practice problems to reinforce what wascovered in readings and lectures. Yet in our personal and professional lives, we learnexperientially – by facing a real situation and attempting to address it, and from our relatedsuccesses and failures.Experiential education emphasizes a mixture of content and experiences, connection oflearning to meaning and to
concepts after one lecture. 33%students can correctly calculate the speed ratio after one lecture. Homework practices areneeded for the students to use the gear ratio equation correctly. 1. Introduction Strain wave gear was invented by W. Musser in 1955 [1]. Its application is in aerospace sincethen. The strain wave gear is a type of mechanical gearing system that has unique characteristicscomparing with cycloidal drives or planetary gears. It has the advantages of zero backlash, highprecision, and high gear ratio from 30:1 to 320:1 in a compact packaging. Recent years, its mainapplication is for robotic arm joint. Since the availability of robotic arm increases substantiallydue to its important role in automation, so the high-performance

made itconvenient to obtain all measurements neededfrom any given circuit using only a single setof probes. Modern designs have become verycompact to allow for the electrical engineer inpractice to carry a portable one with them withgreat ease. However, as comfortable andconvenient as it is to implement this tool, it iscritical for the engineer in training tounderstand a number of aspects such as thecore principles of its operation, the internal Figure 1. Conceptual representation of thecomponents involved, and how the concepts Galvanometers functionality. [8]originated in its design. Understanding theseaspects develops a deeper appreciation for itsusefulness and effectiveness as a tool. Perhaps the first concept to address is

Specifically, the ability of these students to handle engineering sciencecourses without having finished the calculus sequence will be discussed with data from the initialofferings. 1. IntroductionThe Mathematics requirement of every Engineering program in the United States is a set ofstandardized courses. This set of courses is well known across the engineering educationcommunity as the Calculus Sequence and is typically a three-course sequence of Calculus alongwith a course on Differential Equations. This is a bare minimum and most programs haveadditional required mathematics courses such as Linear Algebra and/or

ofacademic and scholarly pursuits for centuries. Utilizing a structured active learning approach tothe planning and execution of a traditional weekly lecture series, students took full ownership ofeach week’s lecture. Faculty involvement shifted from active planner and host to merely keepinga list of lecture details provided by students. This shifting of responsibility to the studentschanged the focus of the lecture series experience from a passive weekly event to a student-centered activity, the goal of which was to make their week of hosting successful.At the conclusion of the lecture series, students were asked to complete a brief questionnaireregarding: 1) The lecture topics; 2) The key active learning tasks, and; 3) Their perceptions abouthow

degree program. Additionally, there is strong anecdotal evidence that once students with this knowledge got out in the workforce, it created additional demand from employers that were pleased in how the students were able to contribute immediately upon hire. INTRODUCTION Recent engineering education research has suggested that most engineering curricula does not promote attainment of many characteristics desired in practicing engineers [1][2], especially that in the skilled manufacturing field [3]. One skill set that has been identified as a need by local industry is computer numerical control (CNC) programming. This need was originally identified by the Northern Michigan University’s (NMU) Industrial Advisory Board, and has been reinforced
