It is also a great way to gain abetter understanding of [this university] and see if this is a place that I would like to pursue furthereducation.” STUDENT-B also expressed a desire to explore academic and professionaloptions: “I, too, hope to decide whether I want to pursue a graduate degree or go into industry.

.4 In acomplex system, this has a number of implications regarding the iterative development ofmultiple models. In particular, for a target model A and a peripheral model B, changes in modelB can effect model A without the mathematical or descriptive form of model A being adjusted.This is due to the change in focus of the user’s attention. When new features or relationshipsbecome apparent, different aspects of the applicability of model A may become apparent.In the next stage of modeling, evaluation, any number of influences cause a user to considerchanging the target model. Interactions with the target system (use of the model or otherinteraction) or other representations can prompt the evaluation process.32,33

Time domain plots of generated functions: (a) AM signal; (b) DSBSC signal. The programmable function generator was also used to study the effects of aliasing imposed bythe sampling process. A 15-kHz square wave was sampled both with and without the anti-aliasing low-pass filter simulation found in the LPFTPL program. An aliasing frequency of 5kHz was anticipated in the signal that was processed without the filter. The Fourier series for thissquare wave is fsq(t) = A0 + A1cos(2π ×15000t) + A3cos(2 π x 45000t) + . . . (8

Fixed connection where all relative degrees of freedom are suppressed (e.g. bolted or welded connections).With these guidelines, a virtual assembly environment can be built. However, there are stillmany concepts to be clarified, such as features, feature associations, hierarchical assemblystructure, assembly sequence modeling and how to integrate these concepts with scripted entities(SENTs) as mentioned in Section 2.In order to illustrate these issues, a planetary gear train is described below.

main goal of this course is for you to become a systemic thinker who uses a systematicapproach, based on methodologies in the course materials, to analyze open-ended, ill-definedproblems and issues. You will accomplish this goal by:1. Demonstrating and effectively applying the following during the appropriate phase of analysis a. formulate a problem and develop a clear statement of needs • goals, objective trees, indices of performance • functional requirements and design specifications based upon system trades b. identify solutions to a problem • creativity and innovation, brainstorming, researching existing/near solutions to the same/similar problems
