students quickly learned how to identify theappropriate ASTM standard for 3D modeling of 3D printed testing coupons. ASTM D638(Standard Test Method for Tensile Properties of Plastics) was followed by the students for the3D modeling of coupons and identifying the exact testing procedure, including load rate andtesting data processing procedure. The created 3D coupon model was used during the 3Dprinting process, as shown in Figure 3 (a). Students printed pristine testing coupon using pristinePLA and ABS filaments purchased online and in-house prepared nanocomposite filament. The3D printed coupons are shown in Figures 3 (b and c).Figure 3. 3D printing of ASTM dogbone coupon: (a) 3D printing process using an FDM 3Dprinter; (b) 3D printed dogbone

This study utilized institutional data provided bythe Analytics and Institutional Research department and the paper will describe the results andimplications of our project, specifically with respect to the following questions: • Is the mechanical engineering curriculum “equal opportunity?” We investigated grade distributions (number of A, B, C, D, F, W) and DFW (Drop, Fail, Withdraw) rates in 200, 300, and 400 level courses in the ME curriculum for all students and for students from under-represented minority groups. • Who is leaving our program, what is their performance when they leave (GPA at

Both classes were taught by the first author usingthe revised approach.Because there is always the possibility that one cohort happens to be more academically adeptthan the other, the prior academic performance of each cohort was examined in terms of theirgrade point average (GPA) in prerequisite mathematics and science courses, specifically,Calculus I, Calculus II, Physics I, and Physics II. The GPA for these courses was calculatedusing the following four-point scale: A 4.000 B 3.000 C 2.000 D 1.000 A 3.667 B

Description of Homework Systems: In Fall 2017, the homework system changed compared to Spring2017. The instructional team developed new homework problems, and a common homework template(example shown in Figure 6 at the end of the paper). The template included an instructor-providedproblem statement and problem illustration. The student had specific places on the page to: a) gatherinformation (givens and unknowns), b) organize their approach, c) sketch the system, d) analyze theproblem symbolically, e) solve the problem with numbers, f) report final

With thephysical components, the students reconstruct their assembly and reflect upon the final products’form, fit, and function. For example, if the assembly is the sliding shelf, the students’ shouldhave designed for a clearance fit and the shelves should successfully slide within the cabinet.Students are also expected to comment on the effectiveness of their tolerances given.

Then, studentswere tasked with designing, assembling, and operating a generalized measurement system, similar tothe ones available in the laboratory. Thereby, students were able to conduct experiments at home,attained the main objective of the laboratory assignment, and orally presented their results throughBCU. Students were allowed to keep the educational kits for use in other upper-division courses.Another author (Instructor B) taught a required undergraduate course in Thermodynamics (ME4293) with an enrollment of 92 students, as well as a graduate course in Advanced

uniquestructure recognizes that early career design is beneficial for students. All ABET-accrediteduniversities maintain a design requirement per ABET learning outcomes B and C for the 2018-2019 requirements [1]. However, our emphasis on design is focused to obtain early engineeringprinciples such as hands-on understanding of force, energy and motion. We believe that thesethree principles are one of the most significant topics to cover at an early stage, as instruction inthese areas can lay the foreground to higher levels of Mechanical Engineering concepts such asstress, strain, tension, torsion, and more - all of which are implemented in the upper-level designcourses at NMT.Course Structure RedesignThe introduction to Mechanical Engineering course was

. Figure 3. CDM defect detection process.The key characteristic of the CDM test is the diffusion flux rate of the evaporating penetrant outof the flaw, and into the indicator. The solution concentration of the penetrant is volatile bydesign, and its purpose is twofold, (a) to furnish information about the presence and depth ofdefects by reacting with the indicator, and (b) to vanish from the flaws and make the post-cleaning unnecessary.Examples of experimental results obtained though CDM are presented in Figures 4 and 5. Figure4 shows a test on the blade of a turbine. A clear defect is revealed by CDM at one of the edges ofthe blade. Such detection is not possible by a simple visual inspection of the blade.

this question is to gauge if the student would watch videos for lecture beforecoming to class. As shown in figure 2 - B, 50% of the students, they would take advantage ofwatching the videos. In addition, it shows that if the students have suitable tools, such as videos,they would be more motivated to review the material before coming to the class. This is a goodtrend, which indicates students would be more prepared before class and be more capable to starttheir assignments successfully.
