Luegenbiehl state that the discourse of inevitability “impliesthat technology is the primary or sole driver of social evolution and that control over designs andoutcomes is either difficult or impossible.” [3]An important distinction must be made between engineering design and technologicaldevelopment. The discourse of design is largely viewed as being iterative, a consistent feedbackloop where the expectation is revision. On the other hand, technological development is morerigid in that the range of perceived choices are limited based on defined standards of progress.[3] Opportunities for ethical reflection are seemingly embedded in the design process but arelargely ignored over smaller improvements for technological development.The rapid adoption

understandand interact with a microcontroller at both low and high levels. Additionally, a suitable robotplatform must be available for the robotics section of the course, so that students can experimentwith the concepts and theoretical material discussed in lecture. Historically, this course made useof a popular microcontroller development kit for the first half and then transitioned to a well-known robotics kit for the second half of the course. A disconnect between the first and secondhalf was created since students were required to learn two different systems. It would be moreadvantageous if the students worked with a single platform throughout the entire course. Thiswould provide students with additional hands-on interaction and time to reinforce

Recently, in science and engineering circles, these typesof complex configurations have become known as cyber-physical systems. These large scale andnot so large scale applications are becoming technically and economically feasible due to theconvergence of several mature enabling technologies implemented with electronics. Essentially,through the use of networked embedded controllers (known as ambient intelligence), complexnetworked sensors and actuators (i.e. sensor networks), and applications software one is able tocreate intelligent infrastructure systems

The pedagogical context can range from a high school orsummer science camp presentation to a lab activity in a senior level engineering course. Whilethe biodiesel reaction has been outlined in other sources, this paper describes a remarkably costeffective way to bring the process into the classroom as a lab activity. As a result it supports aneducational outcome of incorporating experimental techniques and procedures into thecurriculum. Based on student responses, the lab activity succeeds in demonstrating practicalapplication of chemical principles that achieve the conversion of deep fryer oil waste intobiodiesel fuel right before student’s eyes.IntroductionMany students are

In such cases, students are not necessarily constrained to finish a previous lab to start thenext lab. On the other hand, integrated labs provide students with an overall direction, i.e., aroad map, for the course. Students can see the “big picture” and understand how each lab fitsinto the global goal of the course. This approach also encourages students to practice top-downdesign skills and to organize their work for future use. Integrated labs also force students to betterdocument their software and hardware designs. In addition, the integrated labs allow students topractice
NAE’s vision to be a compelling one. Yes, we wholeheartedly agreedthat engineers could make a world of difference. That math and science did not defineengineering. That engineers, at least some of the time, are creative problem solvers. And that,well perhaps in the right context, a career in engineering could be “emotionally satisfying”. Onthe other hand, we felt deeply uncomfortable with the marketing bent of the report, of the ethicsof coercing students into engineering with what, we felt, was an incomplete picture of the field.While we believed (and still do) that engineering is key to shaping a better future, we alsorecognized the field’s close ties to the military, it’s role in contributing to climate change, and therelationship between
machining. This paper briefly addresses the basic conceptsof HSM. Then a methodology taught at Arizona State University for systematically determiningthe high performance machining envelope for a CNC machine is described. A student-implemented case study of this methodology resulting in significant performance gains ofmachining an automotive part is presented.IntroductionCurrent machining methodology is largely experience-based in that much of the knowledge hasbeen handed-down from machinist to machinist via apprenticeships or on-the-job training. Thetraditional approach to machining often has problems solved by reducing the cutting speedand/or reducing the amount of material being cut1. This approach results in cutting parametersthat are

Typical circuit analysis textbooks often start withintroductory explanation of phasor diagrams using series circuits with two passive circuitelements (a resistor and a capacitor or a resistor and an inductor).
