One of our alumni was in the first cohort of students whodid this DC/DC converter design project back in 2014. That year, the professor funded it withhis own money because it was considered a risky idea. When that student graduated, he creditedhis experience with this project and his experience as an undergraduate research assistant inpower electronics as being highly important to his landing his first and second jobs in industry.He has funded the project with a

Duringthe fall semester, junior students worked with the department student club to produce someadditional prototypes to be donated to the OT as they believed in the product they designed aswell as the mission of the project. Also, during the fall semester a group of graduate students inthe OT program at ACU performed a study for their classes on the students using the prototypesand commercially available chairs. The OT

At the graduate level those students who study computational fluid dynamics(CFD) quickly learn “the purpose of computing is insight, not numbers,” but inculcatingthat idea in undergraduates takes much effort. The software we have developed and usein this course encourages all students to take a second look, to run cases and to notice theeffects of parameters.
