manufacturing has been used for roughly 15 years, which was mostly used for rapidprototyping instead of full-scale manufacturing. Over the past few years, this has been changingand the true potential of AM is being realized. Making components that have internal geometriesand can still be a single component will bring entire assemblies into single parts, whilestrengthening them, and saving money on tooling, materials, and machining4. Manufacturing iscoming to a point to where the only limitations are the minds of designers and engineers. Withthese tools, a micro quadcopter frame will be designed with an internal porous frame that will beinstilled while still composed of one solid manufactured part that can then be tested and analyzedto discover if this
Use of Flow Visualization Projects to Personalize Introductory Fluid Mechanics For StudentsDouglas BohlDepartment of Mechanical and Aeronautical EngineeringClarkson UniversityPotsdam, NY 13676Introduction Introductory Fluid Dynamics classes are often viewed by engineering students as one ofthe most challenging courses in the curriculum. The course is content heavy with a strongreliance on complicated equations which can make the material appear dry and distant to manystudents. Beyond that, introductory fluids is a required course for many engineering disciplinesand has a wide range of student interest levels. At Clarkson University the introductory fluidmechanics class includes students from the

Fermi, he said, once noted that teaching is vitally important,especially at the undergraduate level, because if you lose the mind at the beginning, you may loseit forever. Then the nameless professor looked at us and said, “When I retired from thisUniversity, I wanted to keep on teaching. The department said I could select any course Iwanted—graduate level, undergraduate, whatever.” I believe it was in that moment that most ofus freshmen realized that the name written on the board referred both to the building we were inand the professor standing in front of us. “I chose this introductory course,” he continued,“because I want to kindle your

The audience forthe course would be undergraduate students in the School of Engineering and Applied Science(SEAS) at the University of Virginia (UVA). Although the course itself would not be a requiredcore course, it would be on a list of electives offered by my department, the Division ofTechnology, Culture, and Communication (TCC). Besides a required first-year TCC course, andtwo required fourth-year TCC courses, students in the SEAS at UVA must take one electivecourse in TCC, usually in the second semester of their second year. All of the semester-long,200-level TCC courses focus on some aspect of the relationship between technology
intended.IntroductionTraditional engineering education emphasized individualism, in contrast current practiceincreasingly involves team projects, cooperative learning and an emphasis on the synergypossible through group processes. Most faculty who interact regularly with their studentshave a general sense of a student’s teamwork skills. However, in order for faculty to developeffective interventions, it is necessary for them to measure the underlying skills that contributeto successful teamwork. Building on a number of existing instruments (e.g., the FoundationCoalition’s Team Evaluation Sheet) the Synthesis Coalition’s assessment team developed aself/peer assessment instrument that incorporated the best practices in engineering and otherdisciplines. This instrument was

In this paper we shall report on the currentformat of the course and how it overcomes many of the problems with our initial offering.Although only part way through the second offering, we recognize the need for new changes inorder to account for the increased maturity and experience of the students returning from their16-month internship experience. The changes needed to handle the 80% of our students who willreturn from internship in September 1999 are discussed.1.
