The program is offered through an Introduction-to-Engineering course. In the fall of 2010, a Living Learning Community (LLC) for incomingengineering students was also established. The LLC arrangement places students who volunteerfor the program in the same wing of a campus dormitory and requires them to take the sameIntroduction-to-Engineering and math courses.

a flow over a flat plate.Such a dataset could also be used to illustrate concepts such as the displacement thickness.In this way, geometrically simple configurations can also be very beneficial.2.2 From Fluid Flow Problem to SpreadsheetOnce the fluid-flow problem has been chosen, the resulting flow field must be obtained.This is done using a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software. Since the resultingdatasets will be treated like a “numerical experiment,” it is important that the softwarechosen be reasonably advanced and efficient. The code used in the examples presented hereis CFD-ACE+TM version 5 (CFD Research Corporation, Huntsville, AL).

Finally, when major conceptssuch as frequency response have been mastered the black boxes can be used to motivatethe student design of equalizers or approximate inverse systems.In a chemistry laboratory, students are frequently presented with an "unknown" samplewhich needs to be identified by testing for the presence of various substances. In a Page 5.20.1systems lab, a similar educational experience can be gained by giving students anunknown system and asking them to describe its behavior and properties qualitatively andquantitatively. With appropriate equipment at their disposal, they can ask questions like"What would happen if I applied a particular

The students indicate that theywould prefer to choose their own project and this may be tried in the future. The students alsoindicated that they would like to spend more time in class working on the project.The emphasis on the formal written reports serves two functions. It treats the initial assignmentas a draft and gives the students an opportunity to improve both content and the writing.Recently the university approved a new general education requirement that includes disciplinebased writing and requires multiple drafts.

Philosophy In order to formulate a unique motivating strategy for students at the beginning of theirengineering educational experience, two fundamental approaches have developed. First, thecreative aspects of their normally routine in-class work and homeworks are emphasized bykeeping the worked examples and exercises open-ended. For example, a given architecturalelevation drawing can lead to any number of generated plan views that the student is allowed toinvent on her own. All submitted work suits the particular individual esthetic and appeals to thestudent’s talents, common-sense, and notion of what is appropriate. Second, subject matter isspecialized according to the discipline of interest. For example, the class is tracked into Civil

in VisualC++. Similar to device drivers, OLE controls can be easily customized to external hardware andutilized in software. In this fashion, hardware control is easily integrated into a Windowsapplication. Furthermore, OLE is a great educational tool because it modularizes the applicationat hand. This allows a number of students of differing skill levels to take part in programdevelopment.With using OLE as a software building tool, development, management, and enhancement ofsoftware is drastically simplified. Likewise, software is less prone to errors and less time is spentin development.1. IntroductionThis paper is organized into six sections.

In this design project not all of the information was know and therewere numerous solutions and numerous correct answers. The team members were uncomfortablemaking the educated guesses necessary to move the project ahead. The faculty found innecessary to nudge the team members through several of these situations. This nudging wouldtypically progress in the following manner. The team members would be directed to gather all ofthe available facts.

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
