The Reynolds number of these flows is typically low, and thus they remain totally laminar. Under microflow conditions, familiar phenomena such as fluid mixing behave counter to the intuition developed by students in a standard engineering curriculum. We present a laboratory project designed to stress this point to students taking a first-year graduate introduction to microsystems. The pilot group found the results surprising and counter-intuitive. It appears that the project was instrumental in clarifying key concepts in microfluidics. Introduction After several decades in which microsystems research mainly addressed electromechanical systems [1], the focus has begun to shift to fluidic systems. This shift is driven primarily by potential application of microsystems to chemistry, biology and medicine [2]. An introductory course in microsystems at Texas Tech University (TTU), offered to graduate students and advanced undergraduates, includes several modular projects in photolithography, surface micromachining and bulk micromachining [3]. The course also includes a microfluidics project using “soft lithography” [4]. The microfluidics component has undergone several iterations. This paper describes the most recent version, which requires the design, fabrication and test of a micromixer. It should be stressed that this course is the first of a three-semester sequence with 3 credit hours, and that subsequent projects require integration of valves, pumps and mixers with other components [3]. The main purpose of the module described here is to teach the basic","PeriodicalId":355306,"journal":{"name":"2003 GSW Proceedings","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115382991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The pedagogical framework for the modules is based on the widely publicized book “How People Learn” (HPL). The HPL teaching framework presents the learning material as a series of challenges that are posed through a “Legacy Cycle.” The first two challenges for the Virtual Biomechanics Laboratory deal with the kinematics and kinetics of walking. Students are challenged to solve specific conceptual problems. For theses challenges, actual laboratory data from a human gait lab is presented to the students at the website in the form of excel spreadsheets. Using formulae pasted into the appropriate spreadsheet cells, the students can calculate and plot the trajectory of the whole body center of mass (COM) and determine the ground reaction forces (GRF). Included in the modules are video clips of experts presenting their opinions on the problem, and video shots of the equipment used in the data collection process in the actual biomechanics laboratory. Several appropriate reference papers are also supplied for background reading. This paper concludes with some results of testing this approach to learning in a traditional biomechanics class taught at the University of Texas at Austin in the Fall 2002 semester. This research study included pre- and post-tests, module components’ effectiveness rankings, a survey of learning outcomes, and a personal preference affect questionnaire.","PeriodicalId":355306,"journal":{"name":"2003 GSW Proceedings","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132938710","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This task seems to be even more difficult in engineering courses where concepts, terminology, equations, formulations, and problems, which are initially foreign to students, abound. This paper is an attempt to demonstrate the utilization of one of the tools of outcome-based learning that will accommodate a variety of learning styles, namely a concept map. The course selected to apply this tool is the first thermodynamics course taught at Southern University. This course is usually a one-semester course taken by third-year engineering students. The course is an introduction to the basic laws of classical thermodynamics and the behavior of gases and vapors. The principles and laws necessary for energy transformation are also covered. These concept maps are developed in hope that the student will be able to qualitatively and quantitatively grasp the fundamentals and how they are linked, and appropriately apply them in the analysis of engineering systems.","PeriodicalId":355306,"journal":{"name":"2003 GSW Proceedings","volume":"133 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121385060","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, despite the importance of “team-work” in engineering design, there is little data on the characteristics of “good” and “poor” team players. This paper presents preliminary results from an ongoing, horizontal study of this issue in two engineering design courses, one at the sophomore level and the other at the senior level. Individual demographic, academic, personality (Myers-Briggs type indicators) and personal data, as well as interest and skill level, were gathered for the entire class. The data for those individuals judged to be above average team players and those judged to be below average team players were then compared. Some of the conclusions reached are listed below: • The women tended to be better team players than the men. • The better team players tended to be older, with more work and hands-on experience and either Caucasian or Hispanic. • The better team players tended to have higher college and high school GPAs and higher SAT Verbal scores but lower SAT Analytical scores. • The better team players tended to have better drawing abilities and, perhaps most important of all, were better self-critics of their own drawing abilities. As a result of these conclusions several specific recommendation are made which may improve the ability of some students to work more effectively in groups. However, these conclusions and recommendations are based on very limited data, and further study is needed.","PeriodicalId":355306,"journal":{"name":"2003 GSW Proceedings","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122698280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
