But topology optimization can be carriedout on any type of structure.1. Reverse engineering of a bracketIn this work the following labs are proposed to design a lighter version of a known bracket: a) obtain the geometry of a bracket using a laser scanner, b) carry out a topology optimization to lighten the design of a bracket, checking that the new lighter design will not fail under a specified load, and c) experimental test using a universal machine to validate stress and topology optimization carried out using

Group B: 2 robotics students, 1 Bio-medical engineering student, 1 masterstudent in automotive engineering and 2 masters students in mechatronic systems andcontrol.The students who took the course had taken various courses in the past that were not necessarilyneeded for their final project and more importantly there were skills that were new for somestudents. For example, robotics students had completed all their control and programming coursesand were familiar with the control strategies and robotics implementation needed for the project.For this

Figure 12: Close-up view of velocity contours for 00 (Top) and 140 (Bottom) Next, the student began designing the slotted airfoil in 2-D and conducting a parametricinvestigation. The design of the slot hinged upon four major parameters, namely A) angle of slotrelative to the horizontal, B) draft angle of slot, C) slot width on suction side, and D) position ofslot in terms of chord length percentage. The four parameters can be seen in fig. 13.Figure 13: 2-D view of slotted airfoil with geometric parameters. A: Slot angle to horizontal. B: Draft angle of slot. C: Slot width on suction side.

The format of the exam required students to solve one problem with multiple parts. Thiswas not a concept question. It was a question involving filling or emptying of a vessel. Theproblem selected was not particularly aligned with the subject

Not only did sections Band C demonstrate significantly greater problem solving abilities than section A, but also it wasobserved that student solutions in Sections B and C had become very orderly and followed alogical flow.

Randomized numerical values for the samequestion are underlined in (a) and (b); each student gets the same question with varyingnumerical values.The students work on solving each online homework question, but only enter the final answer, asshown in Fig. 1. The solution steps are not submitted to the instructor and each assigned questionis graded automatically by the software, thus resulting in either full score (if correct) or no points(if incorrect) for that question. Such an exercise may raise concern on grading, correcting andproviding feedback on the problem solving steps to the
