They found discussing and using the RC morevaluable than performing calculations with the data. In addition, the level of the material wasappropriately challenging for upper-level engineering students.The survey results were also compared from university-to-university (LTU vs. UE). Theseresults are useful for two reasons. First, the thermodynamics courses and thermal-sciencelaboratory courses have different formats between LTU and UE. One of the goals for the UEthermal-science laboratory is for the students to perform a preliminary theoretical predictionexercise for the equipment. This allows the

Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Addressing Barriers to Learning in Linear Circuit AnalysisAbstractSome possible barriers to student success in introductory linear circuit analysis courses areanalyzed, particularly for DC circuits and general circuit topology issues. We argue that certainconcepts actually needed to solve circuit problems are often not taught as explicit principles, andthat conventional instruction often fails to address typical conceptual misunderstandings. Inparticular, we discuss the concepts of hinged circuits, redundant circuit elements, and voltageand current-splittability of circuit problems, the replacement theorem, iterative calculations, andthe several types of problems to which one can actually

A direct need for advanced technical engineering in thelocal community and industry drove Green College’s AM program development. A GreenCollege faculty member explained this program framing needed to be quick for students tocomplete the program in time to meet pressing local industry’s hiring needs. During this time,program leaders from Green College collaborated with the Florida Department of Education toestablish specific engineering technology frameworks. In addition, at this time the Green Collegeleaders also aligned their AM curriculum with the FLATE curriculum recommendations.Green College has a small AM faculty with two full-time

Most of theseprograms focus on the design and simulation of the single elements and do not offer an efficientsimulation tool to include the array geometry and array signal processing together in onepackage. If an engineer desires to develop a certain array pattern and array processing algorithmthat work together to acquire incident signals when arriving from certain angles, the engineerwould have to completely design the entire array (i.e. specify its geometry, material composition,surrounding material environment, EM environment, etc). The problem can be arranged bycopying and repeating the antenna element into structure a number of times. For every change inthe array arrangement or feed arrangement a

We realized early on that maintaining fresh data would be justas challenging as creating a new website.This career exploration site needed to reflect that manufacturing is dynamic – thattechnologies evolve; companies figure out new ways to tackle problems; new productsare developed that require new materials or different ways to make existing productsbetter – which means that if students want to understand a complete picture, the websitecontent must be dynamic to keep students interested. The best scenario is when studentswant to “come back” because they have a variety of ways to explore the information andit’s evident that a site’s content changes and continues to grow.So our idea of a web portal to address this project embodied a

Euler would feel quite at home in many of today’s beginning engineering andphysics classes. True, electrical engineers, later on, will need the concepts of Fourier series tostudy periodic signals. And even the Fourier series, initially, have a visual interpretation andGibb’s curious phenomena can be introduced without a formal proof but with a warning. Thereare rarely any formal proofs on the P. E. exams. Engineers need to be aware of the interval ofconvergence of Taylor series. At some later time, engineering

clear to the author that if this subject had to make an impact in studentsunderstanding and interest in the field of aeronautical engineering, it cannot be done through conventionallecture-based model. On the other hand, the fundamental theories cannot be overlooked in the interest offocusing on applications. This paper documents an endeavor to achieve a balance between those two byfollowing McLaren’s [6] suggestion that the theory informs practice but experiential and practicalknowledge can be employed as a means to understanding and interpreting that theory. The objective is toapproach a math-based Aerodynamics class from a context of application, student-centered (SCEL) andinstructor-centered experiential learning (ICEL) at the same time

That which is presented here is not meant to supplant thefundamental understanding of the bending phenomenon but rather to provide an introduction tonumerical approximations often needed for real-world applications. It is important for students tofirst gain understanding of the static bending problems from an analytical and physical point ofview.
