in the lab).It should be noted that the above conditions are not meant to, and should not, compromise thelearning value of the experiment and the hands-on experience of the students. In this article, adesign for a heat transfer experiment is described with the above points in mind. The experimenttargets the thermal lumped system analysis, which is typically covered in the heat transfer courseundergraduate mechanical engineering students are required to take. The lumped systemanalysis allows determination of the transient response of a thermal system undergoing coolingor heating from a given starting temperature. The paper also assesses the attitudes of studentsand their reactions to the experiment.Design and Description of Experimental Set

Our experiences are recounted in this article.“They [surveys] are relatively low in cost, geographically flexible, and can reach a widelydispersed sample simultaneously without the attendant problems of interviewer access or thepossible distortions of time lag. . . .data can be procured more quickly, more abundantly, andmore cheaply” (Kanuk & Berenson, 1975, p. 440). By the end of the twentieth century we saw an explosion of the use of the electronicpolling method via surveys developed for the World Wide Web.

group learning activities?Will active learning be a large part of the class? While minor changes can be made based on theclass character, the answers to these questions and more should be made prior to the start of thesemester and discussed with the student during the first week of class. In most cases, the answerto all of these questions for chemical engineering students should be YES. Not only are activelearning activities important for promoting student learning, recent results of profiling studentlearning preferences have indicated that the majority of chemical engineering students learnmore effectively by working problems themselves. This paper provides suggestions for non-course material activities for the first week activities, followed

throwing an 8-lb pumpkin246 feet away.The design of a pumpkin thrower was assigned to three Mechanical Engineering Technologystudents as a project for senior level "ETME 475 - Mechanical Systems Design" course. As a firststep, each student worked on their own pumpkin thrower. During the final phase, students workedon the design and manufacturing of the different parts of the project. During the early Fallsemester one student, with faculty supervision, worked on the project to redesign the pouch andtune the system. Students from the Engineering Society have also helped to set it up for tests anddecorations.

this project, collaborative learning was experienced with an example of knowledge of 3D rapid prototyping.Future Work In the future, we hope to develop a modified version of the prosthetic mitral valve bytrying different materials with greater flexibility. There are also hopes for increasing the utility of 3D rapid prototyping. 3D rapidprototyping can possibly be used to print a scaffold to be used in tissue engineering. As differentdesigns and concepts are created, 3D rapid prototyping will bring these ideas to fruition. Another thought to keep in mind is that implantation of prosthetic heart valves is veryinvasive and depending on the age and health condition of the patient, they may not be able toundergo the procedure

As shown in the full instructions in Appendix A, they had tomultiply the measured mass when the scale was flat (m0) by the cosine of the track’s angle ofinclination. Because some students were using their phones for these calculations while othershad scientific calculators, they were all reminded to be mindful of the units in their calculations.One group of students found a large error in their calculations due to their calculator’s anglesetting in radians, instead of degrees. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 2023 ASEE Midwest Section
