chemical engineering student involvedhad no previous experience in CFD. With limited assistance from several faculty members, thestudent learned how to use the program Geomesh to generate the required grid structure and tosimulate the flow field using FLUENT. The first simulation was performed to determine the pres-sure distribution that results from flow of wind (U∞ = 100 MPH) over a perfectly sealed house. Ashown in Figure 1, it is evident that the highest pressure is located on the supporting wall of thewindward side of the house and the lowest pressure is located on the windward exterior face of theroof. Assuming that the pressure within the house remained at atmospheric conditions, the pres-sure differential created by merely the flow over

. An excellent paper on magnetic levitation using the engineering approach todigital control was published recently.10To use the digital controller instead of the analog controller, the four operational amplifiersbetween (D) and (G) in Figure 3 are disconnected and the digital controller is inserted. To beconservative, the sample rate should be selected as high as possible. All other programs andwindows should be closed, especially if MS Windows is the operating system. The selection ofgains in the digital controller uses the same strategy that was suggested for the analog controller.When the magnetic levitation system is working for the first time, the electromagnet current canbe measured and the heating of the coil and transistor can be

In particular, computer-aidedanalysis, state space methods, and nonlinear systems are introduced into the curriculum,replacing lag, lead compensation, Nichols chart, and parts of the performance criteria.That is, the emphasis of the course is on analysis rather than control design which isrelegated to a second course “EE486 Control Systems Electives”.

The conclusion of this paper is that a person using finite element analysis softwareto estimate the structural response of an object should first have an idea of the magnitudeof the expected response using basic engineering science before using more advancedcomputer simulation and, then compare the two estimates to support taking a positionwith respect to the acceptability of the predicted response. INTRODUCTION One of the challenges of introducing advanced analysis tools, such as finite elementanalysis (“FEA”), is that too many engineering students are too willing to accept theoutput of a computer program without questioning its validity or

where real students suffer the consequences. Seymour andHewitt1 concluded in a study of 355 students at seven institutions that poor teaching (inadequateorganization, ineffective presentation, inaccessible faculty) was the most common studentcomplaint and was a cause for many to leave math, science and engineering programs. Inresponse to the clear need for faculty training, the American Society of Civil Engineers hasdeveloped the ExCEEd (Excellence in Civil Engineering Education) Teaching Workshop (ETW)which is entering its third year of existence. The ETW was developed from the TeachingTeachers To Teach Engineering (T4E) originated at United States Military Academy (USMA)and sponsored by the National Science Foundation2. In 1999, a group of

Funding of up to $2500 per student teamper semester is competitively awarded based on student-generated proposals to the Venture CapitalFund. To qualify for funding, student teams must propose, plan and implement an original, semes-ter-long product development enterprise. The product idea must be successfully designed, devel-oped and prototyped in a single semester. The latter criterion is possible given the unique rapidprototyping facilities available at Rowan University, which include a stereolithography machine, amulti-jet modeling rapid concept modeler, a rapid circuit prototyping system and multiple consumerappliance test
