hourLearning Outcome AssessmentThe assessment methods for this comprehensive bridge project encompasses two primaryassessment methods: performance-based assessment and technical writing. The assessmentframework is structured to ensure a multifaceted analysis of each team's output, focusing on bothquantitative and qualitative metrics.The performance of the student-designed bridges is appraised according to two main criteria:data comparison, which accounts for 70% of the overall assessment, and peer reviews, whichcontribute the remaining 30%. The quantitative assessment hinges on the comparison of themaximum force sustained by structural members in both the original and the redesigned bridges.This comparison is determined by Equation (1), which

In Progress: Lab on Cart: Developing a Low-Cost Fluid Visualization Setup for Experiential Learning, Class Demonstration and OutreachAbstractDespite being present in many natural phenomena and engineering systems, fluid dynamics isoften perceived as difficult and mysterious by students. The transparency of common fluids (airand water) and the complex, non-linearity of the governing equations make understanding thesedynamics challenging.Flow visualization has been shown to be an effective method for teaching complex fluid dynamicsto a general audience. The streamlines over a car prototype in a wind tunnel, or the vortexformation of a hurricane, to name a couple, have become household images confirming the efficacyof this technique

It is expected that our value should be higher since the stall angle generally increases with decreasing aspect ratio [15].

(As a reminder, each lab session consists of up to two teams of students.) 2. Approximately what percentage of the teams that you observed were able to design a fountain system that met all stated performance objectives on the first try? 3.

Most universities should be able to implement such a concept fairlyquickly. However, an instructor must be present during each experiment of each group. This inturn enables to students to ask direct questions during the experimental session, which is notpossible using remote laboratories due to the lack of supervisions.Figure 1 compares the three laboratory types employed in this course.

The biomedical instrumentation lab course isrequired for all undergraduate bioengineering majors and is a technical elective for several otherengineering majors at a large public land grant university in the Midwest United States. Thecourse content has been challenging for many students. Additionally, some students noted otherchallenges in the lab, e.g., reading labels on parts, lights, and lab bench layout. The goal of thisproject is to reduce these challenges with the content, space, and supplies.In the first phase of the project, the research team used methods from Universal Design forLearning (UDL), human centered design, and entrepreneurial minded learning to evaluate thelaboratory space and course materials and generate

There has been an ongoing effort to regulate drone noise emissionsin urban and residential environments [2] – [4], where drones are becoming integral to tasksranging from videography to package delivery. The primary source of propeller noise comesfrom the vortex drag inherent to the traditional propeller design [5].
