Process Control Modules (PCM)The Process Control Modules (PCM) are a set of programs written in theMATLAB/SIMULINK environment, for use instruction of an undergraduate course onprocess dynamics and control. The modules are based on fundamental process models ofindustrial unit operations (distillation column, biochemical reactor, pulp digester, heated-tubefurnace), and incorporate a realistic graphical user interface to emulate an industrial control

, American Society for Engineering Education”ConclusionsThis paper describes one of the two courses that are being developed as part of a NSF fundedproject. Through these courses we intend to address a competency need that is critical fortoday’s industry. At the time of writing this paper this modeling and simulation course is readyto be taught for the first time. The assessment plan is designed to provide feedback for futureimprovements of the course. When the paper is presented complete results from the first offeringof the course will be available for presentation. It is expected that the successful delivery ofthese courses will eventually lead to long-term results such as a degree program in Mechatronics.AcknowledgementNational Science

Oil-out vs. oil-in temperatures were closely watched and if the temperature rise was rea- sonable the tests continued. e.) DECISION: The final design evolved as bearing types were progressively passed after clearances were opened up and oil supply pressure and flow was increased. f.) IMPLEMENTATION: Parts were machined, bearings were honed to new clearances and a final complete test rig for two engines and six gear boxes was set up and tested satisfac- torily. g.)

In this paper, we will confine ourdiscussion to manufacturing challenges within the fuel cell stack.Basic Electrochemistry of Fuel CellsA PEM fuel cell operating with hydrogen utilizes the hydrogen oxidation reaction to producepower. However, instead of the direct production of heat, in a fuel cell the hydrogen is oxidizedat the anode of an electrochemical cell, and oxygen is reduced at the cathode. The anode half-reaction is

The Biomedical EngineeringDepartment of Northwestern University (NU) offers a biotechnology specialization program andthis course is a special topics course, which was designed to introduce biotechnology tobioengineering students. Bioengineering lies within the intersection of biology with engineering,the physical/chemical sciences and mathematics. The topics of this course were chosen in such away to provide students with an in-depth description of biosynthesis and properties andbiomedical applications of biotech processes.Course DescriptionThe primary learning goals of
