Figure 5: Contour Plot of the Response SurfaceIt can be observed that for higher binder pressure values, at higher altitudes of the‘response surface’ (contours with higher values), the relationship between coefficient offriction and the punch velocity is more or less linear. These conditions are not preferredas they require higher binder pressures and moreover, operate in very low co -efficient offriction that are practically difficult to arrive at in the laboratory. This demands forspecial lubricants and process limitations, which are again cost unworthy. Also, it can benoted that at very low binder pressures, at lower altitudes of the

The USLP is then a capstone experience.Equally the form of site learning can be broadened to include study abroad or exchangeprograms, internships in research laboratories (especially for student considering a researchcareer). Industry sites are then but one of a variety of types of site. Thus we move closer to amodel of education where the students can make some decisions as to the form of a more tailoredprogram of study including the context of learning.AcknowledgementI wish to acknowledge the many people who have made the USLP a success.

Thiswas conducted in a Materials and Manufacturing in Design Laboratory course. The turnout in thesesurveys over five weeks since the start has been almost consistent (70% during the first week to 61%by the end of fourth week).Initial phase of the study showed that there are considerable teams having issues. It also showed thatthere were few times where teams were either very ineffective or very conflict ridden. These teamscan be identified, and their performance assessed and compared to other teams for a betterunderstanding.Preliminary results show a clear distinction between various team forming

The need for this project stemmed from research involving the creation and assessment ofsolid rocket fuel samples made using recycled polystyrene as an eco-friendly alternative bindingagent. The scope of this study, however, was limited by the fact that university lacked the facilitiesto study the ignition and subsequent combustion behavior of the samples. A laboratory combustionchamber would allow for the obtaining of combustion data for this study. Additionally, the chamberwould open the door for the university to conduct more studies involving energetic materialsproviding professors and students alike more opportunities to become involved in the field ofcombustion and energetic materials.The evaluation of the project activities

The simplicity of the game’s problems may obscurefoundational underlying principles, making them ideal candidates for pedagogical exploration.Specifically, challenges would theoretically be selected by their ability to illustrate foundationalprinciples such as scalability, efficiency, cost, and modularity.
