Engineering Education, 2007 Alternative Methods for Producing Wind Tunnel Models for Student Projects in Fluid MechanicsAbstractProject-based approaches to engineering education make it desirable for students to createfunctional wind tunnel models for testing of original designs in fluid mechanics courses. Thispaper compares several rapid-prototyping (RP) methods with conventional mold/cast techniquesfor fabrication of fluid-dynamic models on the basis of cost, production time, ease-of-use, andaccessibility of equipment and materials. RP technologies considered include stereolithography(SLA), selective laser sintering (SLS), fused-deposition modeling (FDM), 3-D printing

IntroductionInstrumentation, data acquisition, and analysis of data have become indispensible skills in theengineering marketplace. Process monitoring in factories requires the use of both discrete andanalog sensors, as well as computer control of actuators1. Oil and gas exploration and extractionhas become a highly monitored process requiring an understanding of instrumentation andacquisition concepts2. Certainly a number of defense-based industries make extensive use ofdata acquisition and analysis both for product development, as well as test set development formaintenance
