Teaching Engineering with Calculation Software
The term 'calculation software' is used here to describe computer software which has the basic functionality of a programmable scientific hand calculator, but...
Convection in the Classroom
By their nature, the empirical relations used to calculate convective heat transfer coefficients offer the user little or no insight into how the typical input parameters, e.g., pipe diameter...
Freshman Programming and Engineering Design: Comedy, or Tragedy
It is apparent from the literature, as well as discussions with faculty at other colleges of engineering, that the topics of freshman engineering design and computation are being dealt...
A Broader View of Computer Aided Design: A Novel Course Coupling Art, Communication and Engineering
A novel course is described which brings together faculty and students from Engineering, Communication and Art Departments. Students are introduced to a sophisticated computer art program,...
Developing the Manufacturing Systems Option in the Industrial Engineering Program at the University of New Haven
The department of Industrial Engineering and Computer Science at the University of New Haven (UNH) is currently developing the manufacturing systems option in its Industrial Engineering...
Perceptions of Architects Regarding Use of Computers and Educational Requirements for Architectural Technicians
This paper identifies those cognitive competencies common to all CAD programs to determine which will best prepare the students for entry-level CAD proficiency and flexibility within the...
Project HAWK?Freshmen on PC-Based Case Studies
The paper discusses an attempt to develop a course introducing freshmen to engineering with special emphasis on engineering faculty interaction. Personal computer use, engineering cases,...
Interactive Aircraft Section Calculations for Drag
Large interactive computer programs are being called upon with increasing frequency for the preliminary and conceptual design of aircraft. One drag component which can be estimated at...
Design of Plastic Piece Parts
This paper describes a computer assisted design process originally developed at the University of Wyoming and now implemented in commercial software. In order to address the need for broadly...
An Intelligent Computer Aided Engineering System
This paper presents two aspects of an intelligent computer aided engineering/intelligent building system (ICAE/IBS) research project, being conducted by the Departments of Electrical &...
A Parallel Partitioning Method for Large-Scale Circuit Simulation
In this paper, we discuss a partitioning method for large-scale circuit in parallel computer simulation. The partitioning method maps the sparse and irregular circuit equations to a special...
Real-Time and Off-Line Aids for Teaching Digital Control
This is a report of unique computer tools developed for teaching of the design of digital control systems at the University of Wyoming. The real-time components of the laboratory involve...
Constraint Based Design from Research into the Classroom
Design is constraint oriented; much of the design process involves the recognition, formulation and satisfaction of constraints. Constraints are continually being added, deleted and modified...
CAD/CAM: Reverse Engineering Applications
The reproduction of parts for which drawings or CAD files are not available has always caused engineering effort to be expended in a non-routine manner. The need for such a reverse engineering...
Frame Based Expert Systems?The Clear Choice for CAPP Systems
This paper gives a brief overview of Computer Aided Process Planning (CAPP) systems. We attempt to examine some of the representational problems specifically associated with production...
Safety in the Industrial Robot Environment
Safety requirements differ for applications with or without a human interface. The extent of human interface with the robot must be determined. Design of the robot, guarding, access, and...
Interdisciplinary Project-Based Robotics Education
This paper discusses the format of the present nontraditional project-based undergraduate robotics course taught to our senior mechanical engineering (M.E.) students. Students work in...
Manufacturing Development Requires New Graduate-Level Education
Manufacturing engineering education varies widely with different countries. In some it is looked upon as a non-academic subject, while in others a large number of engineers are being trained...
