Therefore, EAC Criterion 3, Student Outcome 2 requires multiplePerformance Indicators to encompass all these characteristics.The second challenge is the design of experiments. The legacy student outcome (b) required that “students design andconduct experiments.” This was a challenge because Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering students do not oftendesign experiments. To achieve this outcome, experimentation was often artificially introduced in the curriculum. Thenew EAC Criterion 3, Student Outcome 6 more reasonably

example of a progressreport template was shown in Appendix B. By contrast, technical reports required students todemonstrate the technical details of design and project management. For example, EngineeringProjects 1 technical report 2 (template shown in Appendix C) covered design assessment andrequired teams to detail their vehicle component research, safety research, plan for component re-use, purchase, redesign, or new design, and project management updates. Even though it seemedmore work compared to the previous progress reports, the students were gradually building theirSAE design reports along the way. In previous years, students would rush to finish these beforethe competition deadlines.Finally, for Engineering Projects 1 and 2, the

It is modeled on traditional applied kinematics courses.Sample topics include: • Introduction to mechanisms • Graphical linkage synthesis • Fourbar, slider-crank, inverted slider-crank and other linkages • Position, velocity and acceleration analysis • Inverse dynamic analysis of linkagesDepending upon the instructor, the mechanical systems are modeled using an a)trigonometric/algebraic approach or b) a vectorial constraint equation approach. In the secondapproach, a system of nonlinear constraint equations is developed for each problem, which issolved using MATLAB or similar software. The author uses the second approach when teaching

For thepurposes of this course project, the students were instructed to make the following simplifyingassumptions: air drag was insignificant, there were no elevation changes of the ground in thevicinity of this event, the vehicle’s rotation was solely about its longitudinal axis during thetumbling phase, and the vehicle rolled along the ground during the tumbling phase (i.e., it did notvault vertically into the air).AnalysesWith the information provided, the students were tasked with completing a series of analyses thatbuilt upon each other: a) Calculate the translational speed of the vehicle center of mass (vG) throughout the event. b

Do somedividing by delta quantities and take limits as these go to zero (or to the continuum limit).Discover your PDE.After the students have been working an appropriate amount of time, the instructor convenes theclass as a whole. The instructor then works through the exercise by interacting with the class,the final result being the continuity equation in Cartesian coordinates.Comments: This exercise engages students and allows them to take ownership of the continuityequation. This exercise has been found to be much more effective than an instructor-centeredderivation. After completing this exercise, it is a simple matter to present
