Other Design FactorsThe students may comment on other design factors in the problem that may help meet theobjective of reducing unwanted vibration and transmitted forces that cause oscillatorywalk. Traditionally, to counteract these forces, additional mass may be added to thesystem. Research shows that this mass can be as much as 60% of the washing machine’soriginal mass. Problems occur though, in that the addition of this large quantity of masscan result in other structural failures or an overdesign of the remaining structural systemdue to the static requirements of the additional mass.4Other discussions may center on bolting the machines to the foundation

Applying systems categories, the authors consider the EE section as a system.However, the EE system consists of various subsystems that differ by function and by content.These subsystems are:a) Electric Machines subsystem - responsible for research, design, selection, installation, adjustment, operation, and maintenance of a stepper motor as a rotating machine;b) Digital Circuits subsystem - responsible for the sequential excitation of motor windings in response to signals from the control subsystem.c

severalweeks of machine shop/laboratory immersion and hands on technical instruction. Inprevious years basic tolerance theory has been taught in the CAD part of the class and asmall percentage of this theory was then realized in machining exercises later in thecourse. The result has been somewhat “hit and miss” in the educational goal of passingon an appreciation of tolerances let alone an enthusiasm for including them in subsequentwork. The new methodology described in this paper links tolerances with some veryspecific machining exercises that were then undertaken within the same academic week.The functionality of parts produced was directly related to successful adherence todrawing tolerances much more clearly than any class paper exercise.

For generations, studentshave attended Wentworth with the intention of working in design and construction professions. All students have 2separate cooperative education semesters (CO-OP) as part of their experiential learning experience.

Utilizing thisidea as a lab experiment lets the students get a hands-on perspective of the process rather thanjust applying the idea on the blackboard or on paper. The students will have access to the gasifying apparatus and the GC (GasChromatograph), to
