is inherently an abstract concept: the ability to store energy in an invisible electricfield. Commercial capacitors reveal little about what is inside, and looking at one doesn't help atall in understanding the formula C = εA/S. When students construct a parallel-plate capacitor, asshown in Figure 4 below, using a book-sized piece of window glass and aluminum foil, they cansee, understand and appreciate the meaning of dielectric constant (ε), plate area (A) anddielectric thickness (S).

The availability of this program andcommunications with the U. S.

ODU is partnered with other institutions toprovide the program to personnel located aboard ships and at other facilities.

One then draws a series oflabeled input and output arrows.What is (are) your system model(s)? This is the most challenging question because itrequires writing relationships (mathematical formulations) that indicate how the systemoutputs are functions of the system inputs. However, this step is most definitelyfacilitated by examining the answer to the previous question.What are your assumptions? This question is important because whenever one writes amathematical relation for an engineering system there are usually accompanyingassumptions, e.g., steady state, V-L equilibrium, Newtonian fluid, etc. If one changes theassumption(s) then the model(s

The major component of this work is the second set of tools: the Visual Simply SupportedBeam (VSSB) and the Visual Cantilever Beam (VCB). These beams involve hands-on experienceand visualization of reaction forces and moments, as well as deformations and stresses. Bothbeams are instrumented with load cells, which measure force and moment reactions that occur atthe support(s). In order for students to analyze a variety of configurations, beams of differentcross-sections can be interchanged in both the Cantilever and Simply Supported set-ups, and

Each number of holes also had a small andlarge variant of the design. The small variant of holes was designed with a 2 mm diameter. Thelarge variant of holes was designed with a 4 mm diameter. The samples were then labeled with thefollowing format: NO-S. N was the number of holes (0, 1, 2, 3); O was the size and orientation ofthe holes [ iL (in line and small); and L (Large)], and S was the sample number. The holeinteraction and growth were then captured and recorded in relation to the applied displacementrate of 15 mm/min in a single column tensile tester.

A quarter of the students who responded indicated they did not watch any of the recorded videos at all, leading to an average of only 2.74 videos (out of the thirty available videos) watched by each student. One reason for their failure to do so could be that the instructor stopped sending out weekly reminders that the videos were available for them to watch after the third week of instruction. For those who did watch, about 55% of the students watched the lecture videos in their entirety, while the rest watched only part(s) of the videos. None

While simulations are good for quicker testing and a cheaper solution thanpurchasing equipment, conducting experiments with real robots allows for more accurate results.In physical experiments, there are many factors, such as robot interference, an unknownenvironment, and delayed communications, which can influence results. However, running realexperiments are required to accurately test the efficiency of an approach. Future work includesexamining these factors further.Bibliography[1] S. Dawson, B. L. Wellman, and M.

Students will develop foundational understandingsof energy conservation with a simple ball bouncing demonstration and build to more complex conceptsof spring/elastic energy using the classic 90’s rubber popper toys to investigate the energytransformations in the system. Depending on the age of the students, we will extend this lesson
