For ongoing testing planned in the spring of 2022, an improved instrumentation suite isdesigned to better capture data related to oxidizer flow rates, combustion chamber temperature, andcombustion chamber pressure. An additional design upgrade planned for next testing cycle includes animproved exhaust nozzle and ignition system. The initial nozzle was fabricated from coated steel, andwas found to erode quickly, requiring replacement between engine firings. The next generation nozzlehas been designed

The second project looked at the constructability of arches and three-dimensionalhyperbolic paraboloids. A third project modeled the laminated spiral staircase structures usingthe finite element method. A fourth project used the arch building technique as the basis for anoutreach program to 6th grade students interested in engineering.

Design software has become so powerful that a novice can conduct sophisticated analyseswithout knowing very much about the details or limitations of the analysis process.While it is important for engineering schools to educate students about the use of computer-aideddesign tools, they must also ensure that the students have a basic understanding of the underlyingprinciples upon which these computer programs are based. Striking a balance between teachingthe fundamentals and giving the students hands-on experience with the technology continues to bea challenge. The real benefit in introducing the

This is a combined conduction and convection transient heat transfer condition. Figure 9 shows the finite difference model for this problem. In order to obtain an accurate solution, the density of nodes at the top of the model has to be higher than the bottom of the model. The reason for the higher density for the nodes at the top is the fact that the majority of the initial temperature change is taking place at the top of the infinite medium. The physics and the mathematics behind the necessity of needing nodes closer to one another in the areas of rapid heat transfer activity can be explored quickly by using MATLAB. Using MATLAB eliminates the need for engineering students to develop their own computer programs in order to explore such
