Two hours of this three-hour course were conducted electronically. Students met ina classroom with one-third of the group for the remaining one-hour-per-week lecture.Blackboard Learning System – Vista Enterprise was used to post video lectures and managequizzes and homework assignments.

An Experimental Process Course Graham Walker Mechanical engineering department Manhattan College1 Introduction In many industrial environments today an engineer is expected to perform tests or simpleexperiments. This will become ever truer in the future as more and more design is done offshore andoutsourced to countries such as India and China. Consequently, it will become even more important forfuture engineering graduates to be familiar with testing and experimental procedures. A typical engineering curriculum has a number of laboratory courses distributed throughout itsfour years

3-D Simulation of an Axial and Thrust Bearing Halbach Array Mike Wright and Timothy Sichler Penn State UniversityAn axial and thrust bearing Halbach array arrangement is simulated in 3-dimensions usingCOMSOL to initially evaluate the configuration, which consisted of standard permanent magnetsand 3-D printed parts. A 3-D simulation is required due to the close geometry of the axial andthrust arrays. The initial axial 3-D simulations show a good correlation to simpler 2-Dsimulations. These results confirmed the viability of using off-the-shelf permanent magnets and3-D printed parts.
