However, this reasoning appears logically inconsistent.There is nothing imaginary about the symbol i or its use.This paper treats the following interesting topics in the theory of functions of a complex variable:1) sensible introductions to Euler’s i that conform to the way engineers and technicians usethe symbol in analyzing alternating current circuits and mechanically vibrating systems;2) the derivation of the algebraic and topological features of the complex plane and acomparison of these features to the properties of “real” numbers;3) the description of the isomorphism between phasors and combinations of same-frequencysinusoidal oscillations that underlies the theory of alternating current analysis
collaboration with a local fortune 500company, known for powerful engines, and includes lectures from the companies’ pool ofglobal training experts.IntroductionIUPUI Engineering Technology department has had success in developing graduate programsby addressing niche markets such as Motorsports Engineering and Facilities Management.Within Facilities Management we look for “Bright Outlook Occupations” to inform electivedevelopment. [1] One example is the Energy Auditor Occupation which had a 2017 MedianWage of $70,010 and growth potential as shown nationally and in Indiana in Table 1: Table 1: Projected Employment for Energy Auditor [2] Employment Projected
thermocouples embeddedthrough the pipe surface into the center core of flow. The experimental results were compared tonumerical results. It was found, on average basis that the outlet to inlet temperature differenceincreases from 5.3˚F for unfinned pipes to 9.8 ˚F for 3-fins pipes while increasing the pressuredrop by 9%. More discrepancy between experimental and analytical results was found for finnedpipes. The difference between calculated and measured values were 4% for unfinned and 11%for 3-fins pipes.Through the implementation of this project, students’ performance and project outcomes wereassessed against ABET learning outcomes, such as, (1) applying knowledge, techniques andskills to engineering technology activities, (2) applying knowledge of

[1] This paper describes the design of the infrastructure and discusses thereasoning behind the decisions made in the process of to create a game-based learning system forinformation security topics. This paper also discusses the sophisticated virtual networking andsecurity implementation required to tie all the parts of the gaming system together.1. IntroductionThe best way to teach the concepts of information security requires utilizing game-basedcompetition. Game-based competition is used to motivate learners to stay engaged on a task for aperiod of time. [1] A game-based approach for teaching information security topics requiredmany operating systems, such as Windows desktops, Windows Server and Linux operatingsystems, and

There are different shapes for fins such as rectangular,trapezoidal, and pin. Each one has its own cons and pros.[1] studied heat transfer performance of circular tubes having six internal longitudinal fins underturbulent and steady flow conditions. The study found significant heat transfer enhancement forthe tube with internal fins. [2] conducted a numerical study for steady, laminar heat transfer forpipes having 4-identical fins along their longitudinal axes and subjected to constant heat flux.

content. The first part of the analysis was based on the structuralintegrity of the supporting load cells under the fully loaded condition. This analysis process wascarried out utilizing SolidWorks and ANSYS software. The software results were compared toillustrate consistency. The second part of this study focused on the dynamic stability of the of thepressure vessel under constant wind load. Air flowing past a body at a certain velocity will createvortices at the rear of that body initializing an oscillating flow. This oscillating flow depends on the size,shape and structure of the blunt body obstructing the flow of air.The oscillating flow is known as vortex shedding and its frequency is known as the vortex sheddingfrequency [1] A resonating

On the other hand, thecorrosion protection fluid can be used to rinse the machined parts in addition to being used as aprotective film for the parts [1].Material used for corrosion protection can leave a hard or soft film on the manufactured partsurface after the protective fluid evaporates [2]. The period of protection ranges from few days toover a year depending on the different characteristics of the protective fluid. Selection of thetemporary protective fluid is usually based on the material of the part to be protected, surface finishof the part, time of immersion or application time, application atmosphere or the surroundingenvironment, and temperature

increase involvement in teaching students about technical standards.IntroductionDespite standards affecting most facets of a company, as well as most products and machines weuse on a daily basis, standards are often under-appreciated and thus under-taught at manyeducational institutions. Even though both ABET, an accrediting body of engineering andengineering technology programs [1], [2], and employers have indicated the need for students toknow more about standards before entering the workforce [3], the topic is not alwaysincorporated into curricula [4]. One reason is that many faculty believe that “adding anything toalready jam-packed curriculum is dismissed as virtually impossible” [5]. At Purdue Universityhowever, faculty have risen to the

In order to improve the lab experience, a survey was takenregarding the student anticipation of the experience, and the results are shared and discussed.Suggestions for the improvement of the lab experience for the students using this system aremade.Introduction and BackgroundVirtual reality (VR) is an interactive computer-generated experience taking place within asimulated environment that incorporates mainly auditory and visual sensory feedback [1].Typically via a worn headset, a VR system ‘immerses’ the user in a computer-generatedgraphical user interface (GUI) that can be interacted with. Though it is most widely used in theentertainment
learning through real life projects. This paperexplains how, and through which channels the faculty and the department have worked withcompanies in different industries. Furthermore, the mutual benefits of these collaborations tostudents, faculty, academic programs, and industry are discussed.Academia collaborations with Industry has a long standing history. However, unlike somecollaborations that were initiated by academia through certification programs or industry inputfor academic curriculums, this paper is about industry projects done by faculty and students andcustomized training for industry. In particular, three different types of collaborations arediscussed: 1) a long term collaboration with a large regional industry and how it has helped
Independence. Drone advancementin the early years of drone use was dependent on the need of the U.S. Military. During the ColdWar the U.S. Military developed a classified Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) researchprogram, code named ‘Red Wagon’, and the U.S. also developed the Defense AdvancementResearch Projects Agency (DARPA) 1.Dà-Jiāng Innovation Technology Co. (DJI), founded by Frank Wang Tao in 2006, is the leader inresidential and commercial Drone production. In 2013 DJI developed the Phantom, the firstready to fly drone, which consisted of software, propellers, frame, gimbal, and a remote control2.The introduction of the DJI Phantom started the residential and commercial drone revolution.The uses for drones continue to evolve every day.Unmanned
management. Students in this program learn business andengineering skills in the classroom, then apply them in the field through class projects and acomplex capstone internship, which takes the place of a traditional thesis. Thus, the EngineeringManagement program requires strong industry partnerships for the education and graduation ofits students.The MSPS Advisory Board, which consists of local industry leaders and program alumni, acts togrow and maintain these critical industry partnerships. The Advisory Board’s role is 1) toprovide the class-projects and internships required for the students’ successful careers and 2) toensure that the curricula stays leading-edge and covers the needs of regional employers.

activities including: problem solving sessionsand computer-based activities with commonly-used software (MS Excel, Bridge Designer, andSkyCiv). The majority of these activities are performed in groups of three which provides acollaborative environment for students to share ideas and pose questions to other students thatrequire critical thinking.Construction Cost Estimating is also required for both construction management andconstruction engineering students. Traditionally, the course meets for 2 hours of lecture and 2hours of laboratory time with lecture time devoted to covering topics related to the laboratoryinstruction. Under the blended course format this changed. Approximately 1 hour of lecture timewas placed online. The students were asked to

IntroductionThe innovation of technology continues to proceed with a fast pace over the past years.Meanwhile, the scale and sophistication of cyber-attacks are also advancing at a worrisome paceagainst individuals, governments, and companies. According to the report from the Council ofEconomic Advisers in White House, malicious cyber activity cost the U.S. economy between$57 billion and $109 billion in 2016 [1]. Hence, America needs well-trained professionalsworking in cyber security roles to protect critical infrastructures from attacks, thus making cybersecurity education increasingly
. 1-3 Innovation in the science, technology, engineering and math(STEM) fields are key contributors to the US global competitiveness. With predictions that thegrowth rate of many science and engineering occupations will be faster than average in the nearfuture, 4 failure to strengthen the STEM pipeline has potential to further erode the U.S. ability toremain competitive in a global economy. Increasing the participation of underrepresentedpopulations in engineering will allow the U.S. to fully tap the human potential of its citizenswhile enhancing and diversifying the STEM workforce.Recruiting more underrepresented minorities into engineering programs is a way to diversify andgrow the engineering workforce. However, despite an increase in the

BC was made by containing the bricks within a fire,as well as enclosing the fires in kilns to gain more heat. This did not allow even heat distributionand could not penetrate the entire brick to bake it uniformly [1]. The bricks made using this“low-fire” technique were combined with lime mortar to make buildings. Lime mortar and low-fire brick have a similar density and possess the same capillary qualities. Therefore, moisturemoved equally throughout both the brick and mortar.In 1824, Joseph Aspdin discovered Portland Cement; a mixture of limestone and clay thathardens with water. It quickly showed its usefulness with brick layers, as the cure time is quickerthan the traditional limestone cement. Brick layers in the United States began
