For mechatronics students, it was believed that givingthem some insight to the fundamentals of DSP and data acquisition would benefit them inthis advance computer era.This paper describes the work produced by a team of 3 students. They were put together fora hands-on learning experience in Mechatronics engineering.

(4) Every student team is required to prepare a final design report in which team members’ work and findings are summarized. The final design report is a written report in which at least two product styles are compared. For example, a team might look at a drawer-type CD holder versus a flip-lid type. The report should include an evaluation of possibilities presented by various manufacturing methodologies studied in this course. In addition, the design decisions made by the

Some possible explanations for the results will be offered.BackgroundIn the late 1990’s, engineering and technology educators received perhaps the greatest shock oftheir careers – accreditation was changing to outcomes-based assessment from a decades-old listof topics. After the shock wore off, it took several years of hard work for most educators just tounderstand outcomes-based assessment, let alone perform any meaningful assessments.The difficulty most engineering and technology educators have with outcomes-based assessmentcan be easily understood by studying the mental

In contrast to traditional modes and styles of teaching, which encourageunenlightened students to remain passive recipients of knowledge imparted by all-knowing professors during the learning process, the “leaderless classroom” casts typicalprofessorial and student roles asunder.

It is our view that the differential-equation view does have value in facilitatingthe fundamental understanding of fluid flow, but it needs to be made accessible to the stu-dents with a reasonable level of effort. The intent of this paper is to describe how we haveincorporated computational fluid dynamics (CFD) into fluid-mechanics courses, especiallyat the advanced levels. In graduate-level fluid mechanics, the students must work with theoretically and math-ematically complex vector and vector-tensor concepts. While such concepts and operatorsare understandable in a purely mathematical sense, it is
