For example, other projects have explored the use of thermoelectrics for coolingand refrigeration. This could be adapted to offer shack air-conditioning in the future.The original design was assigned to a team of four mechanical engineering seniors as part of thesenior capstone process (i.e. Senior Design I and II). Unfortunately it was not possible for thesestudents to complete construction of the project.

simulation.IntroductionDiscrete event simulation is a tool that enables the user to compress time and study systemperformance characteristics. However, in order to perform simulation modeling, students mustbe able to define critical system component relationships as a function of time. Also, theserelationships must be represented in software. In essence, students must learn concepts ofdiscrete event simulation, acquire software development skills, and at the same time develop aglobal understanding of modeling concepts.Students learn discrete event simulation concepts and terminology such as transactions,transaction attributes, and transaction movement in the model. System performancecharacteristics such as transient response and steady state cycle time, average queue

Society for Engineering Education• A young faculty member came into the FIC, sat down and sighed. “I lecture too much and I know the students can do more.” This faculty member was experiencing what educational research is suggesting - students need to be active in their learning. She needed student-centered strategies and techniques to introduce into her repertoire. She also needed a sounding board, someone to listen when she made changes that didn’t always register instant success. Together, we wrote a proposal to the Hewlett-Packard Corporation and received a grant for 60 handheld computer devices. The handhelds enabled the professor to solicit real-time student feedback.

Of all three,DFM deserves the most study, since it relates directly the skills of CE’s design and developmentwith the industrial processes of production and manufacturing.III. Design for Manufacture – DFMA simple definition of DFM is the comprehension and optimization of interactions betweendifferent facets of the complex manufacturing systems for effective quality, cost and delivery,with the ultimate aims of producing products with better quality, lower cost, and a reduced time-to-market 2. There are different stages when implementing DFM in any type of endeavor orindustry. The first is the optimization of the design process, in which the actual process, and notthe

to the factthat the course is a requirement for graduation, roughly 120 students enroll in the course everysemester, 88% of which are male and 12% female. In an effort to reinforce the lectures using hands-on experiences, a lab also accompanies the lectures. In the labs the students are provided with designproblems that require they use material learned in lecture, such as Decision Matrices, Gantt Charts,and a variety of other tools. An integral part of design is understanding the manufacturing process.Therefore, the design course devotes a few lectures to show videos on the different manufacturingoptions. Following the goals of providing hands-on experiences, one lab is set aside to practicemachining. The project chosen is the Purdue Hammer

Several colleges require students to takecertification exams in CAD classes, but proficiency in Microsoft Excel and any programminglanguage is not easily determined. While it is impossible to include all the related and relevantexamples from Microsoft Excel, MATLAB, or SOLIDWORKS, we have included specificexamples to demonstrate how students can begin to approach problem-solving using these tools.We are drawing upon a robust body of research on active and project-based learning. Studiessuch as [6], [7] provide a foundation for our approach, demonstrating the effectiveness of
