Concurrentlywith the standard design practices, faculty participated in the laboratory design functionality ofthe building.

The FlowEx interface allows for straight-forward CFD analysis of computer- aided-design (CAD) models to estimate velocity and pressure vector fields. These devices enable the comparison of experimental (PIV) and computational (CFD) data. The potential use of FlowCoach to enhance teaching of fluid mechanics is investigated in this paper. In a laboratory experiment, students used FlowCoach to acquire velocity data for water flowing around a square-shaped obstruction and then computed the pressure change along streamlines using

members.Stresses and deflections that govern the design of structures and structural members are usuallydetermined from equations and formulas that are based on the theoretical concepts or theoriesand mechanical properties of the associated materials. Even if an advanced theory is used todetermine the deflection of a beam, for example, the computed deflections cannot be used inpractical design unless the mechanical properties (Young’s modulus in this case) of the materialsare accurately determined. Such properties are available only after careful experiments havebeen carried out in the laboratory. Furthermore, many practical problems are not amenable totheoretical analyses alone, and in such cases physical simulation is a necessity. For these andother

This learning system utilizes virtual laboratories that areindustrially situated where student teams take on the role of process development engineers.They are tasked with finding suitable input parameters to a process so that it can be released tohigh volume manufacturing. They complete the task though experimentation, but theexperiments are completed virtually. When students interact with the virtual equipment, there islower cognitive and haptic demand required to perform experiments than would be needed ifworking with physical equipment. This aspect affords students the opportunity to build a richexperimental design based on interpretation and iteration.4 While not explicitly instructed to doso, most

AFM can capture images of objects smaller than the wavelength of light by using someimaging tricks to amplify the signal from the probe. If a small movement changes the angle asignal, such as from a laser, then that change can be amplified if the distance between the signaland detector is increased (Figure 3a).
