However there has been relatively little research on collaborative system designin the area of manufacturing.To appropriately leverage collaborative technologies for manufacturing system design education,a better understanding of how users work within virtual environments is needed.

Images usingMATLABAbstractThermal spray has been widely used in aerospace and manufacturing industries for a variety ofapplications, especially for coating technology. The process-structure-property correlations to thecoating technology are very important for achieving lifetime durability and sustainability. Animportant measure of coating integrity is the porosity of the surface structure. Traditionallyporosity of the deposit is obtained by microscopy of the surface and the use of software based ongrayscale threshold setting. This paper evaluates the grayscale threshold method using MATLABfor determining porosity on test images of a thermal barrier coating (TBC). Also, it is found thatthe porosity of test images can be assessed within 0.5% by
Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Design of Laboratory Apparatus for Temperature Prediction in Turning ProcessAbstractTo illustrate heat generation in turning processes for “Manufacturing Processes” course, an experimentalapparatus including hardware, software and experiment protocol was designed and integrated. Cuttingparameters’ effects on temperature rising in turning process were examined. Design of experiment and embeddedthermocouple measurement were applied to cover the cutting parameters and collect the experimental data. Aftercollecting temperature data with full factorial experiment, statistical analysis including analysis of variance(ANOVA), main effect, interactive effect and regression analysis was conducted.

Information Technology two of themost ubiquitous STEM fields in the 21 st century. No matter the discipline area, it is clear fromlooking at workplace trends that students’ studies and professional development would benefitfrom exposure to, and comfort with, computing skills such as programming, and increasedfacility in computational thinking. Introducing a broader range of students to coding andcomputational thinking practices has been used as a strategy for broadening participation incomputing (BPC) [1, 2]. There have been numerous calls to bring computational thinking intothe general K-12 curriculum to both improve computational literacy in the next generation andenhance general education (e.g., [3, 4]).

presentation had a topic phraseheadline supported by a bullet-list. Almost one-fifth per presentation had a topic phrase headlinesupported by a bullet list and an image, and a similar percentage had a topic phrase headlinesupported by an image. To capture slide density (the amount of text on the slide), we counted the number of linesof text and number of words. On average, engineering educators used 7.5 lines of text and 33.4words to communicate their research. When broken down to words per minute viewed by theaudience from presentation slides, these numbers correlate to about 35 words per minute, whichis high. This finding raises the question whether cognitive overload for the audience typicallyoccurs in these slide presentations. This

physical equivalents.Therefore, VR is very appropriate to be taken as an alternative solution for dangerous and costlytraining programs (e.g., firefighter training, military training, disaster relief training,new-employee training, etc.). In addition, VR can conserve most of the human and materialresources, and it can make them accessible remotely for the participants. Thus, it is a goodcandidate for the development of virtual education systems. Among the various implementationsof virtual education systems, virtual laboratories are used at various levels of education, rangingfrom the education at elementary schools to the education at universities 2,3

effectively contribute to creating a richer educational environmentthrough which the interaction between the faculty and students is more enhanced. The paperprovides an opportunity for the faculty to learn more about some of the capabilities andadvantages offered by the discussed tools and possibly find a tool which is suited for theirinstructional use. Technology adds a new dimension to the delivery of instruction, a dimensionthat is missing in conventional approaches to teaching. When used along with the conventionaltechniques, technology serves as an invaluable tool for complementing the course and achievingcertain goals in terms of students’ academic development and course comprehension. Some ofthese goals are more difficult to attain solely

We not only explain and explore the use ofthis technology in our courses, we assess its impacts comparing sections without the newtechnology to sections with the implementation.There is a body of work in education that evaluates and discusses the impacts of electronicportfolios (EPs) which in many ways are similar to electronic notebooks.

algorithm design will be discussed as well as the next steps for the research.IntroductionThe use of peer review is an essential part of the engineering design process. The AmericanSociety of Civil Engineers maintains an official policy, formally supporting the use of peerreview in engineering2. As an educational tool, peer review can be a valuable way to providestudents feedback without a significant increase in instructor workload. Despite all that iscurrently known about our students, the best mechanism for assigning reviewers to reviewees ina peer review of artifacts is still considered to be blind, random assignment. The underlyingconjecture of this research project is that “there has to be a better way”. Specifically, if amechanism can be
