This is a problem that can be used as anillustrative exercise, homework assignment, or for testing students on important principles,concepts and definitions in the area of kinetics of particles. The statement is as follows:In the system shown cylinders A and B have a mass of 5.00 kgeach while the mass of cylinder C is 10.0 kg. Initially, allblocks are at rest. Now, a constant downward vertical force Fis applied to block B as shown, and the system starts moving.Block B is observed to move vertically through 2.50 m in 2.00s. Find the magnitude of the applied force F, and the tensionin the cord c-d. Consider the

In the first step, A is actively attending to B’s expression of experience(and hoping/trusting A will be receptive). B’s experience becomes known to A in a second step.

The total cost of the project, including salaries ofresearchers, students, indirect costs, parts, etc. was about $250K. Some of the costs were offset bydonations from industry.Although the lab stations are different machines, they share common features so that generalskills such as jogging axes, I/O mapping, user interface mapping, motion profile programming,etc. are all the same regardless of the machine. Hence, students can use any machine when they (a) Bottle filling (b) Gantry pick-and-place machine(c) Material handling with conveyor (d) Logo stamping on golf balls(e) Winding machine for fishing line

This course was held inSpring 2020, where students started the course fully in-person and shifted to synchronous virtualinstruction shortly after the mid-semester survey. The course was at the introductory level, and itwas the first major-specific course in the curriculum. The course is typically taken in the springsemester of the second year, so students may know each other and have some experience withcollege level instruction.The other cohort (Cohort B) started the course in Fall 2020 with synchronous virtual instructionwith plans for partial in-person instruction. Cohort B students completed a one-question

The results show thatthe module was effective in (a) teaching students the fundamental principles of diffusion, (b)fostering peer-to-peer teaching and learning, and (c) emphasizing the importance of teamworkand problem-solving across disciplines. The results also indicate that students developed abroader view regarding the applicability of their knowledge beyond their own disciplinaryboundaries. Given its universality, this materials-focused teaching module has the potential toserve as an effective model to foster interdisciplinary teaching and learning between

To develop competence in an area, students must (a) have a deep foundation of factual knowledge, (b) understand facts and ideas in the context of a conceptual framework, and (c) organize knowledge in ways that facilitate retrieval and applications.3. A metacognitive approach to instruction can help students learn to take control of their own learning by defining learning goals and monitoring their progress in achieving them.Anyone who has taught physics will agree that students enter the class with manypreconceptions.

Since the students' survey indicated their in-person instruction preferences, the instruction delivery moved to a blended model of zoom lectureand in-person LABs. The major challenge was to meet the 6-feet requirement for social distancingduring the LAB setup.

Students learned that it is important toalways consider the objectives (functional requirements) while seeking answers (designparameters) to problems and to select DPs to ensure functional independence. To portray breadthand depth, this paper has illustrated the application of Collective System Design to the system,sub-system, and machine/fixture levels of production systems.References[1] Albers, T., Clampitt, C., Goss, B., and Lulgjuraj, M., “Kinney Vacuum Plant – Linked Cell Manufacturing System,” 2.812
