for Engineering Education, 2018 A Size and Scale Laboratory Experiment for an Introductory Nanotechnology Course1 AbstractA size and scale laboratory experiment has been developed for an associate level course innanotechnology. This lab will assist students in conceptualizing the size of particles bycompleting three exercises: 1. Physically measuring an oleic acid molecule. 2. Comparingthe molecules length to other nano-sized objects by creating an enlarged scale which isthen compared to familiar objects at normal scale. 3. Examine the quantum effects ofquantum dots to introduce students to the unique properties of nanoparticles. This paperdetails these three exercies and evaluates their effectiveness in teaching

The faculty at the University of Tennessee atChattanooga believes the concepts and principles of design are as fundamental to undergraduateengineering education as are those tools and topics traditionally thought as fundamental (such asmathematics, physics, chemistry, statics, and dynamics). One of the benefits of design is thehands-on activities or Project-Based Learning application it brings to the classroom. ABET alsostates that engineering programs must demonstrate that their

However, one hindrance to the increase in commercial drone utilization is thenoise generated by the vortices coming off the propellers. A recently proposed solution tominimize drone noise emission is the toroidal propeller, a unique design distinguished by itsring-like propeller. It is hypothesized that the closed-loop design of the toroidal propellerminimizes the tip vortices commonly generated by traditional propellers. Since tip vortices areknown as the primary source of propeller noise, it is theorized that toroidal propellers reducenoise
