Based on the results of the proposed algorithm an experiment may beplanned in which the system will be constructed and the suggested measurement procedure tested.In the Systems Engineering Department at the U.S. Naval Academy, we strongly emphasize capstonedesign projects. The proposed research presents a very good opportunity to teach students the full designcycle. This experiment is well defined using mathematical tools and in that sense it is a straightforward taskto develop a software simulation. The actual construction of the measurement system is rather complex

syringes containing magneto-rheological fluid and a strong magnet.Introduction: Magneto-rheological fluids change their flow characteristics when subjected to an electrical field. Response, which takes only milliseconds, is in the form of a progressive gelling that is proportional to field strength. With no field present, the fluid flows as freely as hydraulic oil (Korane, 1991). Magneto-rheological fluids represent a technology that has the potential to widen the performance range of automated electromechanical and electrohydraulic equipment. Research and ongoing developments are refining this technology and experts predict an important future for

These non-traditional students averaged over 30 years old andworked full time. These students were adult learners, had special learning needs, and requiredspecial teaching methodologies to maximize their learning. In the United States, MalcolmKnowles introduced the andragogy method, defining it as “the art and science of helping adultslearn”. Knowles’ primary premise is that virtually all adult learning is self-directed throughone’s life-based roles, experiences, and interactions.1
