At a maximum designspeed of 1500 rpm ( 157 rad/s) the expected torque on the generator was /0.13 before adding any friction losses. An estimate of the overall torque and rotationalspeed needed to be coordinated between the teams so that the mechanical system would deliverthe necessary speed and torque to the generator shaft, and that the structure was designed

Walter Shewhartoriginally developed the concept of the Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle during the 1930’s. It was taken upand promoted very effectively from the 1950’s on by W. Edwards Deming and is consequentlyknown as “the Deming Wheel”.The pre-college engineering education can be summarized in terms of the Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycleas follows:(1) Individual activity on the first day: (a) Plan: Students obtained necessary Do information, e.g. types of bridge structure

The students who chose the essay,roughly 60% of the Fall 2002 class, seemed excited by making connections between the courseand the “real world.” One student—in the top of the class with a test average in the mid-90’s—chose an essay topic because he was interested in doing it, realizing that it would have noeffect on his grade.Other observations, including comments on the essays, were included in an e-mail message sent to

process of carrying this task out isitself an act of engineering." They conclude with the bold statement that "rather than simply themanner in which engineering design is communicated, writing is the medium through whichquality engineering design becomes possible."An example illustrates the intimate connection between writing and engineering: Engineers are writing a report for presentation to a client. They are writing about what their firm learned about environmental contamination from the client 's manufacturing operations. In writing the report, the engineers may never visit the client's facility. Instead, they work from a file of company documents. The source for knowledge about the facility is not from personal observations

The participating students were very candid and specific, providing informationon why they have persisted, as well as the reasons why other students they know have left theCollege. The students also offered suggestions on administrative and academic issues that mayincrease retention rates. As a result of the student input, the College has

This service, originally called the Instructional Media Lab (IML), wasprimarily used to assist faculty in the development of mediated instructional resources; however,the College wanted to expand this support and include pedagogical assistance. In the fall of 2000with a grant from Hewlett-Packard, the College transformed the IML into the Faculty InnovationCenter (FIC). The FIC supports instructional innovation by providing media and instructionaldevelopment services to engineering faculty. (See
