Topics included modeling of electric motors,predicting motor performance, and experimentally obtaining relevant motor constants. Theexperiment used a simple sub-fractional horsepower (Fischertechnik #32293: ~1.5 Watt)electric motor together with a unique small-scale dynamometer. In the experiment, studentswere required to experimentally determine the rotational speed of a motor using an optoswitch-based tachometer to find the motor

In other words, if one’sobjective is to reduce noise, one has to reduce vibrations. In this presentation the authorprovides guidelines towards generating a mathematics based curriculum in the area ofmechanical vibrations. He draws from his experience and also from various textbooks andrelates them to the curriculum that is normally encountered in a mechanical engineeringprogram. He also provides outlines for conducting assessment using appropriate data. Thisassessment data will be extremely useful for implementing Continuous Quality Improvement.He also provides examples

helps to promote deeperlearning.IntroductionWith the wide adoption of project-based learning (PBL) in engineering programs, many researchstudies were conducted to evaluate its effectiveness in engineering education [1-3]. Someresearch results showed that PBL is not only effective to deepen students’ understanding ofengineering principles, but also helps them to develop abilities to apply those principles inengineering design practices [3]. In the meantime, many engineering educators have sharedsuccessful stories of using PBL to improve student learning in their practices [4-8]. Evidentially,PBL has shown a strong promise as an effective teaching pedagogy in engineering education.Naturally, a follow-up question is how to develop an effective

However, nearlyall measures of student achievement are focused on content knowledge, process ability (e.g.design), or communication skills; students are assumed to be developing intellectually, especiallyin their ability to think critically, but rarely are meaningful data collected and reported whichsupport such an assumption. However, the recent movement towards outcomes assessm ent nowrequires reliable measures of students’ abilities to make reasoned decisions as they solvecomplex problems. For example, in the U.

Moreover, learning of complex engineering concepts at higher level classes requiresminimum pre-requisite knowledge, the lack of which can lead to attention problems, aversion tothe course, and finally to overall poor performance. While such issues are partly addressed bycurriculum rules which enforce mandatory pre-requisite courses, a major fraction of students stillenrolls in higher-level courses with the minimum grade allowed to move on in these pre-requisitecourses. With deficient or subpar foundations, they may face more difficulties and eventually dropout or change their engineering major for academic survival.
