The research led to the selection ofan AC powered ¼ hp motor that included thermal protection and bearings.3. The Gears and the Drive SystemThe importance of the gear system is much more than simply to rotate the specimen. The gearsalso function as clamps to secure the specimen from translating inside the specimen holdersduring testing. Since the specimen needs to be easily removed and replaced

First, the engineering design process is discussed as adistinct two stage procedure involving (a) architectural design, and (b) subsystem design. Thesteps in these two stages are articulated and examined. Innovative aspects of the engineeringdesign process are then discussed in terms of some of the ways of “thinking outside the box

Incorporatingactive learning in a standard classroom can be as simple as asking students to answer a question,plot some data, sketch out a solution, or interpret an observation, predict a behavior, critique adesign, explain an experimental result, or troubleshoot an erroneous system or program1.

In some ways this is analogous to the principle of least action which gives rise to theforms of the trajectories of objects, such as the curve of fastest descent or the brachistochrone problem. Infact the calculus of variations and the principle of least action were seen as teleological, meaning theyseem to reflect design and purpose. What we have learned from recent research in complex systems,nonlinear dynamics, and cellular automata is that relatively simple, but nonlinear, governing equationsand relationships among parts can lead to complex phenomena and also what has been called “emergentbehavior” or “self-organization”.This hypothetical watchmaker is where the engineer and educator come in.
