Representativesfrom several leading industry corporations are supportive of the PBL method and have agreed toprovide real-life problems. More problems using Lego RCX could be designed to form a PBLproblem database for future reference in engineering measurement and control courses. The PBLmaterials for the measurements course will be tested at four other universities. We believe that Page 10.892.10other

The first course is an instrumentation and measurements course thatconcentrates on lab procedures and data processing. The third course is an experimentalengineering project course in which students plan and execute an experimental project that spansan entire semester. The engineering systems course is broken into two sequences. One is asequence of mechanical systems experiments. In this sequence oral and visual presentation isemphasized. The other is a sequence of thermal energy and fluid mechanics experiments. Thissequence emphasizes written reporting, and students are required to prepare several groupreports and two individual

lack of planning by the instructor has resulted in“dysfunctional” teams or groups. For example, group grades often are emphasized and thepressure of grading often breaks down the CL atmosphere. Students simply assigned a mutualtask without supervision and without being accountable for their individual work may succeed,but oftentimes fail as the burden of the task falls on the shoulders of one or two highly gradeconscious individuals. Group members shift their focus from learning to the graded outcome andbegin to respond as individuals concerned about their own graded outcome rather than asmembers of a community concerned about each other’s learning. The goal of effective CL becomes creating and maintaining highly functional teams

As a result, additivemanufacturing (AM) is one of the fastest-growing methods of changing a 3D design model to a3D product without any process planning method. The process is commonly called 3D printingtechnology and has found extensive applications in areas such as automotive, architecture,manufacturing, aerospace, thermal, flexible electronics, medicine, fashion, retail, and sports.

) process gain between an input and output over theprocess gain for the same pairing when all the other inputs and outputs are perfectly regulated[8]. If the value is a fraction the system is considered amping since interactions make theprocess gain effectively larger than when the system is completely open. If the value is greaterthan one the system is crunching. The interactions due to the other controlled or closed loopsactually make the effective process gain less. The objective is to choose the pairings so that therelative gain array is closest to one where system acts as if it is decoupled e.g. no interactionsfrom the other loops. The relative gain array also helps in tuning the individual controllers causeone can plan for the interactions
