for the three propellers increased almost linearly till reaching maximum value thendroping down for each propeller. Several factors can be responsible for this. The cavitationphenomena are most likely the cause of this problem, particularly in a four-bladed propellerwhere the thrust value drops sharply. The next challenge was the fluctuation of the rod during thetests that led to a severe vibration of the rod. In many cases, increasing the rotational speed wasimpossible. The following methods could resolve these problems.(a) Retest the same rod and propeller assembly using methods in approaches 1 and 2.(b) Use pully and belt mechanism to rotate the propeller. In this case, the shaft length will be minimized, and vibration issue will be

This is confirmed by the studentfeedback, and successful project results from most of the projects. Spring 2014 semester is notcomplete. However, student performance from the previous two semesters can be reported andwere excellent. In Spring 2013, Out of the 29 who took the course, 25 students (86%) receivedthe letter grade “A” while the remaining (14%) students earned “A-“ as shown in Figure 6.

This FibeRExtrusion Device, FrED, provided a process that would benefit from complex process control,while also being straightforward to analytically model and test. Recently, S.
