bulbs.We connected a digital multimeter across the load and the reading jumped up to 40 VDC within15 s. Over the next half hour we saw the meter stay fairly constant around 42 VDC with a peakof 51VDC. By comparing wind speed reading from the anemometer our data showed a 20 mphwind would generate around 42VDC. One area of concern was the tail vane furling system; itdid not seem to be operating like it was designed too operate. The design is set to limit theturbine speed rpm by turning the blades away from strong winds and keep the turbine fromrotating above specific rpm values.Using the wind data from the Iowa Energy Center 29 it was determined that we could expectaverage wind results for our chosen tower location in Northwest Iowa as seen in Table
Society for Engineering Education, 2006 Excellence in Engineering Education and Educational Technology: Views of Undergraduate Engineering StudentsAbstractDuring the 1990’s and continuing today there has been an increased attention to understand theissues that may affect the quality of engineering education. According to the National Academyof Engineering 1 and programs such as the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology(ABET), many universities around the world have been making major efforts to recognize thechallenges faced by engineering educational programs and making changes to achieve“Excellence in Engineering Education”. The purpose of the study reported in this paper is tounderstand the views and

I mean being on the robotic team became more popular [than] being on the football or basketball team. I had students who came to me everyday asking can they be on the robotics team. So just the buzz that FLL created around our school was worth [it] because it got a lot of students interest[ed] who normally could care less. Page 23.601.9When we asked

Student teams were asked to develop an emergency management plan for a lab (teachingor research lab) in the department. They were asked to do a walk-around of the space anddetermine the locations of nearest eye wash, safety shower, first aid kits, and spill kits. Theywere also asked to identify emergency exit routes, rally points, and emergency contactinformation for that space. Students used the lab space floor plan to mark the location of safetydevices and kits, and to chart emergency routes. Example of an emergency management plan isgiven in figure 5.
