Barbara received the F.W. Taylor Medal of the CIRP in 2009 and the Outstanding Young Manufacturing Engineer award of the SME in 2013.
Ian C. Garretson University of California, Davis
Ian has completed his M.S. in Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering at Oregon State University with a focus sustainability assessment of unit manufacturing processes. He is now pursuing a Ph.D. in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering at University of California Davis. He is currently researching methods for sustainability assessment of abrasive processes for metal products.
Fahad M. Jan University of California, Davis
Mr. Jan completed his undergraduate work at UC Davis majoring in Mechanical Engineering. He was named on the dean’s honor’s list in multiple quarters during his undergraduate studies. As part of his senior year at UC Davis, he interned at the Hydrogen Production & Utilization Laboratory at UC Davis in which he worked on a project to redesign a greenhouse gas monitoring trailer for Sandia National Laboratories. After completing his undergraduate degree, he worked in industry for a year and then came back to UC Davis to pursue a master’s degree in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. His research interests are manufacturing, design, and robotics.

Lee Martin studies people’s efforts to enhance their own learning environments, with a particular focus on mathematical, engineering, and design thinking. In everyday settings, he looks at the varied ways in which people assemble social, material, and intellectual resources for problem solving and learning. In school settings, he looks to find ways in which schools might better prepare students to be more resourceful and flexible in fostering their own learning.

Abstract
To empower students in engineering and improve their understanding of integrated computational design and experimental testing, the authors developed a new course for undergraduate engineering students. The course objective is for mechanical engineering students to gain an understanding of how airplanes fly and nozzles work by designing, modeling, manufacturing, and testing prototype airfoils and nozzles. These example problems are meaningful and attractive. The active, project-based learning approach promises better learning outcomes and outcome retention than passive approaches. The paper discusses the course structure including computer simulations and on paper calculations for the students, prototyping and manufacturing models from computer-aided design (CAD) representations, and experimental validation with a water table experiment. The planned course evaluation and assessment of student learning are presented. The course is taught at the University of California Davis in Spring Quarter 2017 for the first time.
