Specifically, students are required to make a drone using 3D printed components.The revised engineering course with the new module has received extensive interests andpositive feedback from students. They learned how to apply the fundamentals, applications, andimplications of 3D printing or additive manufacturing (AM) in a real-world project.1.

However, all require, in some form, the IIDassumption, namely, that the observations comprising the sample are independently andidentically distributed. Because of this, and the fact that statistical procedures are less robust toIID violations than normality

Structure of the laboratory sequenceAn overview of the curriculum revision and the details of the new laboratory sequence have beenpresented previously1. In brief, the Electrical Engineering undergraduate core curriculum modelincludes a total of six 1-quarter hour (3 contact hours/week) laboratory courses during thesophomore and junior years. These courses are designated Lab I (1st quarter sophomore) throughLab VI (3rd quarter junior). The laboratory courses are not tied to a specific lecture course; ratherthey incorporate material from several topic areas within

mechanism. The encoder utilized was a H2 series U.S. Digital makeencoder that produces 256 pulses of 2V amplitude for its every 360-degree rotation. A linear torotary conversion of the depth of cut was obtained and fed to the NIDAQ. The encoder pulsesthat were produced any time the tool was not in contact with the work piece were ignored in thecalculations by means of a software switch in the Labview block diagram.With a linear-rotary conversion gear ratio of 1:100, for every rotation of the hand wheel, theencoder rotates 100 times. For every rotation of the hand wheel, the linear motion is 0.5 inches.For every 0.5 inch movement of the tool, the encoder produces 256 x 100 = 25,600 pulses.Hence, for every inch movement of the tool, the encoder

Because velocity and pressure are of primary interest in a fluid flow, learning ofturbulence concepts will be greatly improved if students can measure these quantities in theobserved flow. A few years ago, Dantec Measurement Technology developed a laser-Doppleranemometer (LDA)-based fluid mechanics laboratory station. This apparatus included a one-component LDA with one frequency tracker and shifter, data acquisition board, software, and awater tunnel with accessories for simulating flow through a pipe, a turbulent jet, and flow aroundan airfoil and a circular cylinder. The basic system cost about $20,000, and it could be used toillustrate such concepts as velocity distributions in laminar and turbulent pipe flows

Itwas decided to provide a visual and interactive approach to the study of stepper motorsconsidering the limited amount of hardware available. A circuit was simulated to show the basiccharacteristics of stepper motor operation.The circuit provided a visual indication of rotation with simulated LEDs arranged in circularform corresponding to the motor shaft position. Another set of simulated LEDs indicated whichmotor coils were energized and thus students could observe the coordination between driver andmotor.
