The objective of the project is to develop a new curriculum for teachingundergraduate and graduate students multiphase computational fluid dynamics for advanced design.The impact of multiphase flow research on solving practical engineering problems is an integral partof the learning experience. Industrial participants in the project provide specific design problemsrelated to emerging technologies. Students are taught the fundamentals of computational fluiddynamics (CFD) during a one-week workshop. This is followed by an Internet course on multiphasetransport phenomena. The students work in teams on CFD design problems with a faculty andindustrial mentor. The salient results of this NSF/CRCD project are

A second opportunity to emphasize these skills is in Page 3.229.7laboratory reports. It is easy to fall into the mode of providing detailed directions for each (7)laboratory experiment and to require individual written reports from each student. However, byproviding only superficial directions and goals for the experiment, the students must developtheir problem solving skills (how to do the experiment). Secondly, by

Unanimous student and instructor feedbackafter the first year indicated that students needed more structure for the project, and that choosinga community and/or project would help focus the class and make the projects more successful.Thus, two short-term projects were developed for the spring 2004 class, intended to workindependent of a connection to a community. While this was seen as a second or backup choice,we spent the time to develop satisfying projects so that we could use these in the absence of agood community-based project.The first project we developed involves building a small-scale slow sand filter using

Thus a teacher and their classcould have a virtual face-to-face interaction with the faculty member at WSU, similar to what wasdone in co-TEACH. A more exciting application of this technology will be to bring the K-12students into the faculty member’s research laboratory to let them see activities and equipmentthat would not be accessible to them at their school.

A significant portion of the design process must nowfocus on software engineering and the integration of hardware and software. However, mostmicroprocessor-based system courses still emphasize hardware construction [4,5]. In order toaddress both software and hardware issues, it becomes essential to apply an interdisciplinaryapproach.Many microcontrollers are used in real-time control systems such as automotive electronics andfactory automation.

In terms of the pedagogy, linear controls are less desirable for the mechanical engineeringstudents because they are very difficult to implement in actual designs. The linear approachmakes more sense for electrical engineering students who are familiar with the mathematicaltools, and can implement the control system easily with common electronic components.This paper will describe a course, EGR 450 - Manufacturing Control Systems.
