But in theworkforce, graduates will need to understand how to choose a given motor for a particularapplication. This means answering questions such as: Which type of motor is the most appropriate for the given application? At what speed(s) should be motor be operating? What torque is required for the application? What environmental issues need to be considered in selecting the motor?An initial foray into motor selection was briefly discussed as part of a larger discussion involvingworking with industrial partners [10].

The majority of the 3-Dvisualization exercises currently being used by students in Design and Graphics classes presentthe objects in isometric views already in 3-D, asking the viewer to create multiple views, foldpatterns, manipulate, reflect, or rotate them. Other exercises present the objects in incompletemulti-view projections and ask the students to add missing lines. The newly proposed methoduses a different approach. It uses the standard multi-view projections to show a number ofrectangular bricks arranged in various patterns. The viewer must count

The system used in this paper is a CHP-based DE system to supply the thermaldemand (𝑞 ) and the electrical demand (𝑒 ) to the campus. The theoretical design system isbased on several technologies, such as CHP with TES, additional thermal energy provided by anon-site boiler and additional electricity provided from the central electric grid. The systemdetailed in Figure 1 is composed of a site-based CHP gas combustion turbine that can supplyboth thermal (𝑞 ) and electrical (𝑒 ) energy; a site TES system - also known as a steamaccumulator - that receives thermal energy from the CHP system (𝑞 _ ) and can supply thethermal demand (𝑞

With regard to frequency of communication, Likert-type scale distributions for freshmen expectations and post-graduate employee data werestatistically the same for technical employees (different disciplines), technical managers andexternal employees (contractors, suppliers, etc.). Significant differences in distributions weredetermined for technical employees (same project area) (p = 0.049), non

The tutorial consists ofspecific examples like detecting and counting bees, segmentation of fruit trees and automaticfruit classification. The examples for the tutorials are chosen because of their simplicity ofimplementation and because they are also easily expandable into more complex projects.

While thecourse is taught specifically with engineering design in mind, the course has attracted studentsfrom varying majors which has fostered collaboration and creativity in idea generation. Thecombination of critical thinking methodology with innovation concepts has led students to notonly expand their knowledge of potential applications of engineering, but has lead severalstudents to initiate communication with faculty members regarding their ideas for researchopportunities, innovation competitions, and initiated their own projects via applying forUniversity Innovation Fellows
