Each ofthe spaces are different, reflecting the differences in the institutions. University B is first andforemost a technological institute with the majority of undergraduates majoring in engineering.Its maker space, housed within the Department of Mechanical Engineering, is operated by a 70person team comprising of 65 undergraduate volunteers and 5 non-student members. The makerspace comprises five rooms totaling 2,500 square feet that includes a rapid prototyping suitewith six 3D printers having various material

The impetus behindthat endeavor was twofold: (a) BCR analysis is the most used technique for economic analysisand decision making in the public sector, and (b) to accommodate to the visual learning stylethat dominates in the engineering student demographics.

Nonlinear equations can be solved with Simulink or by assuming constant acceleration over small increments of motion and writing a complex m-file. Both approaches are presented. c) A feedback control system (the plant is a basic spring-mass-damper rotational system) where the control is proportional, proportional + derivative, and proportional + derivative + integral

, only one question was asked in thechemical engineering course, near the end of term: 1. If your goal was to separate chemical A (specific chemical included) from chemical B, which column design would you recommend be built? Why?The simulation questions were chosen to take a homework assignment and transform it into apotential real-life scenario. These open-ended questions required students to give an opinionabout their solution and sometimes forced the students to search for information that was notpresented in class. Solutions were not always obvious or straightforward, but in every casestudents did have the tools to arrive at the correct answer/recommendation. That is, no questionwas beyond the scope of their existing knowledge, but
