that application ofthe principles is a bottleneck to many students’ learning experience in fundamental engineeringcourses.While engineering design has been widely used to improve students’ skills in applications,students have limited opportunities to learn from projects in fundamental engineering coursesdue to broad spectrum of content, strict schedule, relatively large enrollment, limited budget, andstudents’ design skills. This study selected engineering dynamics course as an example toimprove students’ capability in applying the principles in dynamics into problem solving throughreflective learning practices.Engineering dynamics is a high-enrollment engineering core course; while one of the mostdifficult courses to teach and learn in

Goldberg was a cartoonist and engineer who is best known for his series of cartoons whichshow complicated gadgets designed to complete simple tasks. The phrase “Rube Goldberg” hassince been adopted as an adjective used to describe the act of accomplishing something simplethrough complicated means. When Rube Goldberg design is incorporated into the engineeringclassroom it allows for a unique blend of creativity and challenge that is often hard toaccommodate in introductory engineering curriculum.This paper presents a first look at my use of a semester long Rube Goldberg design project as atool for teaching engineering dynamics.

This cycle is the theoretical basis for the spark ignition (SI) internalcombustion engine (ICE). The traditional analysis (the air-standard analysis) of the Otto cycle isa static thermodynamic analysis that cannot be used to predict the dynamic performance of a SIICE. Given sufficient information, the work per cycle for a particular engine can

Likewise, instead ofpurchasing the computer board and software that accompanies the lumped mass apparatuses(which in this case was primarily developed for controls laboratory experiments), a world-classanalyzer (that includes computer software for control) was purchased so that the sensors andanalyzer can be used by students and faculty for research projects. This analyzer can also beused for acoustic measurements. A disadvantage is that the software that controls the analyzer isnot user friendly, and requires substantial setup time by the instructor. The laboratoryexperiments that were developed include the study of free vibration, forced vibration, 1 DOF,2DOF, and 3 DOF systems, dynamic absorber, modes of vibration, and the
