The class met for two 75-minute sessions each week. This duration turned out to be too long to maintain the class attention, especially for the liberal arts majors. It was initially thought that examining the Web for ten minutes at the start of each class and having demonstrations would fill in the time, but it did not turn out that way. 4. Lecturing from overheads that were taken directly from the figures and examples in the book proved to be a failure: It lacked illustrations of the thought process that an engineer undergoes in

They must calculate the temperature of the air after compression and the work ofcompression. The spread sheet must calculate the temperature of the air after expansion and thework of expansion. They must find the net work of the cycle and combine it with the heatsupplied to find the cycle thermal efficiency and then with the mass flow rate of the workingfluid to find the power produced by the gas turbine engine.

This paperdescribes the educational experience gained through design and construction of an R2D2 replicafrom the Star Wars™ movies. The initial project incorporates basic radio control as well assimple autonomous navigation and limited user interface with the capability for futureexpansion. The modular design is intended to allow future capstone groups to add innovativenew features as well as novel applications of well established technologies. In addition to beinga motivational project for senior-level engineering students, it is also a marketing tool for

At least partof this difference can be attributed to the use of Matlab in attaining a numerical solution ofEquation (9). The Matlab solutions with each orifice tended to fall below the experimentalvalues as the tanks reached complete drainage and underestimated the drainage time by about15%. By contrast, the analytical solutions of Equation (9) was a better representation of theexperimental data. Table 2.

Because studentscompleted these runs after they studied fuel economy in the class, they may have subconsciouslymade use of what they learned. In future offerings of the course, we plan to complete this initial 4test run before any study of fuel economy, so that we truly see the effect of a betterunderstanding. Next, students drove the flat course attempting to maintain the constant speed that theyhad calculated would yield maximum fuel economy.
