The stress analysis is limited to pin shear stress, member pull-out shear stress, connection bearing stress, and normal stress in axially loaded members. The pin connection is considered a tight fit with uniform bearing stress and a loose fit with non-uniform bearing stress.We will now summarize Phases I and II, and the detailed solution process can be found inAppendices A and B, respectively.Qualitative AssessmentA qualitative assessment was carried out by using student surveys.

We have focused on the 62 first-year mechanical engineeringstudents who enrolled and passed MECH 101 in the two experimental years. Based on thestudents’ paths related to Statics, we can group the 62 students into the following four categories: • Group A: Passing Statics with a C or better (n = 35) • Group B: Receiving a C- or DFW in Statics, resulting in a retake (n = 12) • Group C: Planning to take

ABS is amaterial that dissolves well in acetone, while PDMS is inert to the effects of it. The Tesla valvedevice was printed using a 3D printer with ABS as the filament. Approximately 0.25 in PDMSwas cast as a base layer so the ABS device would not sit on the bottom. The PDMS was mixed ata 10:1 ratio for parts A and B of the solution. The 3D-printed part was then suspended into theABS.After the part was suspended in the PDMS, it went into a vacuum chamber. This vacuumchamber, shown in Figure 5(a), created a vacuum for 5 minutes to remove any trapped gassesfrom the PDMS

The assignment sheet isincluded in its entirety in Appendix B. There were additional oral instructions and some CFDdemonstrations given during class to better express the expectations. Several aspects of thisassignment were purposefully left vague so the students had to make choices and be somewhatcreative in how they approached it.

This reduces the weight of the mechanism, reduces thepower consumption, and lowers its cost.

The disconnect of earning good grades while not needing to putin meaningful work towards achieving them is a learned behavior which can harm students inhigher education, and it’s a difficult behavior to correct.

resistance relations are bases on one-dimensional steady-state heat conduction in amedium involving no heat generation. For a plane wall, the temperature profile is linear andthermal resistance is expresses as Rth = L/k, where L is the wall thickness, and k is the thermalconductivity of the wall. The following problem has been used to help clarify these concepts. Consider a plane wall, 30 cm thick, having a thermal conductivity, k = 20 W/m.oC. The following expression is given for the temperature profile in the wall. T (x) = 225 -2500 x2 +20 where, T is in measured in oC, and x in m.

She believes that incorporating student examples gives the students a chanceto develop and solve their own problems, which helps in the learning process. The opportunity tohave their work included in a textbook also incentivizes the students to want to participate and dotheir best work for the submissions. She recognizes that there is a range in the complexity andquality of submitted problems, but they are all useful to convey content.
