Session ETD 455 Using Virtual Reality Welding to Improve Manufacturing Process Education Angie Hill Price, Mathew Kuttolamadom, Suleiman Obeidat Texas A&M UniversityAbstractVirtual reality welding systems increasingly are being used to train welders in industry. Onesuch system is being used to introduce entry level industrial distribution undergraduate studentsto welding processes in preparation for hands on real welding in labs. The same system is alsoused for upper level manufacturing and mechanical engineering technology students to extendtheir knowledge of the

A commitment to adoption of effectivepedagogical practices that promote student learning compared to the long-standing practice of“weeding-out” students in introductory engineering classes, is crucial. A comparison of the threehigher education programs represented by the authors are described in the following materials.The goal of this paper is to describe initial findings from a study to better understand the higherrepresentation of underrepresented minorities (URM), specifically Black and Latino students, inEngineering Technology programs in the US.

, that’s why having a network of people that can communicate the reality ofwhat they are using or are planning to use soon is tremendously important. It is counter-productive to spend a great deal of time on products and technologies that have been phased out.But, the only way to know that is to keep a finger on the pulse of what is happening in industry.In summation, it is possible to have a synergetic relationship between industry and academia.The skillset of the graduate has to be considered to be one of the main goals to strive for, and thatskillset must correlate with the basic needs of industry. This requires ongoing relationshipsbetween all facets of industry, educational institutions and educators as these skills are constantlyin flux.This

Several meetings took place with counties that have drones as well as members of the Professional Land Surveyors of Ohio on the uses and policies needed for the operation of the drones. As a result of these discussions and continued educational seminars, Mahoning County moved forward, in a combined effort between the County Engineer’s Office and the Sanitary Engineering Department, with the purchase of a drone in late 2017 in an attempt to keep up with the technological advances in both the surveying and engineering professions. In the less than 1 year that we have been

The team wanted to check onthe improvement in the effectiveness of different number of fins by testing 3, 4, and 6 internallysoldered fins into the pipes. Applications of similar internally finned pipes can be for boilers,tank-less heating systems, heating exchangers, burners, etc.Methodology and Experimental SetupTo investigate the effect of internal fins on heat transfer through pipes, the team decided to builda testing station that would allow measuring temperature along the longitudinal direction of thepipe, pressure drops, and flow rate as shown in Figure 1.

This wood is 78 years old and it was madeof cedar and had an application of at least two to three layers of previous stain and paint on itssurface. Samples were cut using a table saw in rectangles approximating 7.5x14.1 centimeter.Four samples were needed for each brand’s five application methods: a, b, c, and d. Sample ‘a’was used at the control for each set, not placed into the QUV. Scraping and sanding wasperformed to remove the previous paint layers.

These concerns were ranked #2, # 3, and # 4 in a research finding among technology educators2. Likewise, in a recent surveyamong prospective employers, 30% of 250 respondents did not have any awareness about theengineering technology program and one-third of those who claimed to have awareness aboutthe program could not distinguish the difference between the work performed by the engineersto the work performed by the engineering technologist accurately3.
