So it would make sense to require studentsto practically get involved in research at early stages of their education [1-5]. This isbelieved to make them better prepared for the upcoming challenges in their lives. Thispaper reviews ways to

this research is on engineering course material with the ultimate goalbeing to help freshman students adjust to new terminology in their field of study, withoutincreasing the workload of teaching faculty. The goal is to find a computational method that canbe used to create a software tool which automatically compiles a unique list of course-specificvocabulary for the instructor.LiteratureThere are several approaches that can characterize language in document text. The fields ofresearch that contain literature in this area include education, linguistics, computationallinguistics, industrial engineering, as well as several others. Specifically, literature in the field of

the analogproportional-derivative (PD) controller is easy to design and adjust using a "technologyapproach". Our paper focuses on inexpensive hardware with the purpose of encouraging those inbudget-conscious schools to build maglev systems. The "technology approach" is described, notas a substitute for the "classical-engineering approach," but as one alternative for our readerswho have not yet acquired the abstract engineering skills typically employed in the rigorousdesign of a feedback system. Digital control of the magnetic levitation system utilizing popularhardware and software is also discussed as an alternative to analog control. When a valid set ofcontrol gains is unknown, digital techniques can sometimes be used to quickly determine

@sfsu.eduAbstractWith support from the US Department of Education through the Minority Science andEngineering Improvement Program (MSEIP), five community college engineering studentsparticipated in a ten-week summer research internship program at San Francisco State University(SFSU) in summer 2017. A popular seismic damping device, magneto-rheological damper, wasinvestigated by the interns during the internship. By analyzing different numerical models of thedampers, existing large-scale damper tests were studied and the damper response under externalexcitation is reproduced using the computing program software. UQ Lab was then applied toexperimental results to explore the uncertainties inherent to the damper modeling. Theprobabilistic distributions of model

Various researchers have identifieddifferent factors that contribute to a project’s success1,2,3, but the factor we will deal withhere is the choice of project type. We will first discuss the pros and cons of designcompetition vs. industry-sponsored projects. Then we will relate our experiences as wehave transitioned our senior design course from a competition-oriented course to a courseoriented more toward solving industry-sponsored projects.

Page 26.1619.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Understanding Additive Manufacturing Part Performance through Modeling and Laboratory ExperimentsAbstractAdditive manufacturing (AM) has attracted extensive attention in recent years due to its wideapplications in academia and industry. As most of the AM parts are built layer by layer, it isclear that parts manufactured from AM processes would perform differently compared toparts manufactured from conventional processes such as casting and injection molding. Sincestudents often rely on AM for part fabrication in courses and capstone projects, and industriescould adopt AM to produce components for their products, there is a
