Abu-Mulaweh Engineering Department Indiana University–Purdue University Fort Wayne Fort Wayne, IN 46805-1499, USAOverviewThe compression of gas in a steady-state, steady-flow (SSSF) compressor is an important topic thatis addressed in virtually all engineering thermodynamics courses. A typical situation encounteredis when the gas inlet conditions, temperature and pressure, are

The figure below represents the actual results of the rating of sophomore workfor those who submitted documents in their portfolios related to the student outcome:“recognition of ethical and professional responsibilities.” There were twoperformance criteria related to this outcome. They were that students shoulddemonstrate: 1) Knowledge of ethics in the organizations of which they are members, 2) Ability to evaluate the ethical dimensions of professional engineering
Session 3266A Complementary Sequence in Thermal/Fluids and Mechanical Systems for Senior Capstone Design Ann M. Anderson, William D. Keat, and Richard D. Wilk Mechanical Engineering Department Union College Schenectady, NYAbstractThe mechanical engineering program at Union College has developed two senior level designcourses, Design of Thermal/Fluid Systems (DTFS) and Design of Mechanical Systems (DMS)aimed at diversifying the senior capstone design experience. These required courses are project-based

Educational Objectives The general goals of teaching a design methodology, developing teamwork skills, andencouraging professional development were translated into nine specific educational objectivesas detailed in Table 1. These nine objectives were common to all of the sections of the capstonecourse. Two additional objectives were established for the Solar Decathlon project to

Education has recently summarized notable developments in addressing this probleml. Most of the programs cited are limited to training of graduate students for jobs as teaching assistants, and few describe effective teaching programs for engineering graduate students. Thus, most engineering Ph.D.’s who enter academia are very well trained for research, but have little or no training in teaching. Colleges are continually being challenged to increase productivity and reduce costs. Downsizing of faculty and severe budget cuts are an all-too-common scenario in American institutions of higher learning2’3 . Retention of the global pre-eminence of American higher education system must come from the rethinking of how teaching and learning take

For example, some of our technology students are interested in the construction ofresearch equipment and a faculty offers some selections with the encouragement of “transferringto engineering majors”. Some of our students are interested in AI and statistical machinelearning software and that their related projects focus on algorithm development with lab and/orsimulated data. In the face-to-face situation prior to the COVID-19 lockdown, the data sourcewas either data collection in a lab setting or data in a national archive. During the lockdown,using the data in national archives became the only choice in a community college with limitedbudget. Our experience showed that community college students in

The experiment should greatly increase the students’ interest in thetopic and their comprehension of the use of dimensional analysis in the planning ofexperimental programs and the correlation of experimental data.I. ObjectivesThe main objective was to design and construct a heat transfer experiment to illustrate theconcept and usefulness of dimensional analysis. An accompanying benefit of the effortwas the addition of an experiment to the mechanical engineering laboratories.II. Experimental ApparatusThe apparatus has been designed to be low cost, relatively easy to construct by

This trend isnot only related to the level of complexity associated with science and engineeringeducation, but also the medium of instruction practiced which often leads to the students’lack of willingness to learn abstract

These projects range in size from weekly labactivities to term projects. The use of projects enables students to learn to work togetherin teams. The nature of a project also allows them to combine their skills and knowledgefrom a variety of areas in order to apply creativity in the design of systems, componentsand processes. Unfortunately, the use of projects also brings with it complexities relatedto the management of these projects.In the work world, cross-functional teams strive to
