Page 15.855.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 Mass Unbalance in an MET CourseAbstractMass unbalance, the condition where the centers of mass and rotation differ, is one of the mostcommon sources of vibration in rotating machinery. Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET)students are likely to encounter vibration throughout their careers and need to understand itsgeneration, transmission, and testing. Conveying vibration concepts effectively to students whotypically have only limited exposure to differential equations presents a challenge forengineering technology faculty. Mass unbalance and related corrective procedures offer apractical venue for communicating fundamental vibration concepts, design

transferstudents who majored in engineering, this work describes the demographics and outcomes forstudents starting in and transferring into Mechanical Engineering (ME). This aims to inform thedecision making of faculty, department heads, and Deans. Although men consistently outnumberwomen in ME, the rates of matriculation and six-year graduation vary by race and gender.Retention is higher in ME than in the aggregate of all engineering majors for Asian, White, andBlack students, but not for Hispanic students. While about half of ME starters leave, most arereplaced by switchers and transfers. Black males are noticeably absent from this “replacement”population. Black males are also the least likely to stick with ME through graduation. Asianfemales are the

Tosomeone like this author who is an industrial engineer with training in statistics, it means engineeringmajors should be trained in statistics to the level where they will be able to design and conductexperiments, gather data from such experiments, analyze them, and draw engineering conclusions.Such experiments and conclusions are often needed in product and process improvement studies, andwhen done right, lead to process improvements resulting in improved quality of processes and theirproducts. The science of design of experiments (DOE) is an advanced topic in statistics, which firstrequires an understanding of probability theory along with confidence intervals

The second part of the study, presented here, compared a new group of studentsin the same two courses; comparisons where made against historical performance and against a numberof control questions developed during the first part of the study. Student performance was comparedagainst the amount of exposure to these active teaching methods over an extend period of time.Student retention of course material was also compared.Results continue to show that students were more engaged and scored higher on topics covered usingsimple active teaching methods as opposed to traditional

, other energy sources must be used in orderto produce electrical energy. About 68% of all electricity generated in the United States isgenerated from the fossil fuels, such as coal, natural gas, and petroleum4. This leaves only 32%of the electricity generated by non-fossil fuel sources. Extensive research in the area ofrenewable energy sources is ongoing, and relates to many fields, such as engineering,mathematics, physics, chemistry, education, business, and so on.There is both public and private interest in developing new technologies for alternative energysources. Due to this, there is a need for highly talented engineers to analyze and design new andinnovative technologies and ideas for harnessing alternative energy sources5-6. However

For these reasons, we'vefocused on the inverted model, augmenting it to modestly increase availability and thusthroughput for selected classes, while carefully maintaining instructional quality and individualstudent attention and interaction. Specifically, our augmented version of inverted instructionallows our faculty to roughly double the number of sections they can teach of a particular class inan academic quarter. We hope that augmented inverted instruction might provide a measured andconstructive response to the call for greater efficiency and cost reduction in higher education.
