aconvenient framework for discussing each of these issues. Furthermore, undergraduateengineering students learn all the mathematics necessary to use the Kalman filter equations(matrix differential equations and the concept of uncertainty), if not to derive them, by theirsophomore or junior year, so there is no reason not to give them the opportunity to apply thisknowledge. We present an approach that was used to introduce the Kalman filter concept to firstsemester electrical engineering juniors in a linear systems course. Rather than simplyintroducing the Kalman filter equations as given in the texts2-8, 10-12, however, we have found iteffective to begin with the idea of an average, and add features until the general Kalman filter isdeveloped.II

This required some level of familiarity withthe topic. The class was composed of both engineering technology graduate students andgraduate students from the College of Business. While both groups knew that concrete iscomposed of cement, sand, gravel, and water, they all had to research factors which affect itsstrength. The design of a concrete mix depends upon many factors including; type andproportion of ingredients, additives to improve water-tightness or curing time, slump orworkability requirements, humidity and temperature, and geometry of the form.

The authors implemented the second law (minimization of Gibbs freeenergy) in two different but equivalent methods: one used chemical equilibrium constants asfunctions of temperature correlated from data tables, and the other computed the equilibriumconstants using the change in Gibbs free energy computed from elementary thermodynamicproperties. The latter method was implemented using MathCad for the solution of the problem.Solutions were obtained for fuel to oxygen ratios covering fuel rich to fuel lean conditions. Thesesolutions were compared with those obtained using a FORTRAN code based on the firstapproach and originally reported by Sözen and Majumdar [1] at the 2004 ASEE AnnualConference.

Teams were formed in the first lab based on thecriterion of “Make teams heterogeneous in ability [9]”. Therefore, students were asked toconduct a self-efficacy survey to select their top three abilities from the following five skills:mathematics and data analysis, use of computer-aided design software, handy experimentaltesting, written and oral communication, and leadership. These were considered to be essentialskills to enhance students’ success in this course and the self-efficacy survey results were used tohelp form teams with heterogeneous abilities by the instructor.Figure 1 shows the results of the
