successfully. The contributions of the present paperare: (a) to gather these resources together in one location, (b) the establishment ofa design procedure for counter-intuitive learning activities, and (c) testing of thedesign process.At the present time, only the design process has been tested to demonstrate that ityields new activities. Ultimately, these new activities must be used in a classroomto assess their effect on students. It is possible that the activities are too simple ortoo complex. If they are too simple, they may not be counter-intuitive to manystudents. If they are too complex, they may generate high frustration and actually Page 12.37.2be

Kinematical andkinetic simulation of the case in a VP environment would provide motion envelop and dead locklocation check, and will further verify design. After the design is verified through VP, parts inthe designed system will be processed in a CAM environment. So, another course such asCAD/CAM may collaborate or be offered alongside with the CMD course to achieve this. Figure3 (a) represents preliminary contents covered in a CMD approach and Figure 3 (b) shows asimple thought flow between CMD and CAD/CAM courses.

. Page 26.127.4BadgingBadging, or microcredentialing, is a process by which students can be evaluated on skills and knowledgeat a more granular level than a whole course. In our current educational model, when an employerreviews the transcript of a student who received a B in a class, that employer cannot distinguish whetherthat student did everything in the course pretty well, or is particularly good at some skills yet unable tocomplete other tasks12. The concept with badges, and why there is increasing interest in the potential usein education, is the ability to measure particular skills that are encompassed in a class.Moreover, badging also works to incentivize students.

But topology optimization can be carriedout on any type of structure.1. Reverse engineering of a bracketIn this work the following labs are proposed to design a lighter version of a known bracket: a) obtain the geometry of a bracket using a laser scanner, b) carry out a topology optimization to lighten the design of a bracket, checking that the new lighter design will not fail under a specified load, and c) experimental test using a universal machine to validate stress and topology optimization carried out using

This data is a composite response from a number of statementsincluding: S5) The Rocket lab increased my belief that testing and revision are important.

This course was identified as a good starting point because it is oneof the first engineering courses taken by Mechanical Engineers at Michigan State University.This is the first place that the Mechanical Engineering department can create a student culture ofvaluing professional communication. Additionally, at Michigan State University, the sophomoreyear is often a year where students receive little or no writing or

They felt that the activitieshelped them gain knowledge effectively and improved their learning curves significantly. Thatsentiment is well reflected in the final assessment surveys. The ratings have been improvinggradually since the course assessment has been implemented. The Course Assessment is one ofthe most efficient and economical assessment tools that a small or medium-sized engineeringprogram can effectively incorporate as a core assessment tool to achieve students’ learningoutcomes and the educational objectives of the program.Bibliography 1

The student worker was given 6 weeks to design, build, and test the testbed so that it could be used as the last experiment in the Engineering Experimentation andInstrumentation course. The fact that this project was needed for a class lab experience, on adate that could not possibly change, resulted in only two possible outcomes for the project:success (operational test bed) or failure (non-operational test bed). This provided a uniqueexperience since most student projects are evaluated on degrees of success and failure (i.e. gradeof A, B, C, D, or F) instead of on overall success

In addition to the modeling errors, finite element analysis involves solving theequations using numerical methods, which again yield approximate solutions. Depending up onthe type of analysis performed, namely, structural, thermal, dynamic, NVH, etc., validation ofresults by simple models and hand calculations is necessary.The goals in FEA are thus to (a) use correct formulations to attain results close to exact results orresults from testing, and (b) to achieve convergence of the such results in the fastest time. Thereare other goals in terms of the development of theory and constitutive relationships to modelcomplex geometries consisting of advanced materials
