Over Time

The article concludes with a thorough evaluation of an usefulness of suspension systems and chassis of Mars Rovers from Bialystok University of Technology and predictions for future Mars rover solutions. A development of technology and ever growing aspirations of mankind resulted in clear progress in the field of Mars exploration rovers. Competitions, involving analogs of Mars rovers, are increasingly more popular among academic societies. The main goal of mentioned initiatives, is to test possible solutions which, over time, may be used in rovers during extraterrestrial missions. The authors focused on a path of a Mars rover analogue development. In the first stage authors analyzed requirements of the University Rover Challenge organized by The Mars Society. Then the article concerns tasks that every modern Mars rover faces during its mission. Next authors considered Mars Rovers analogs designed and built in Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Bialystok University of Technology. After application’s considerations, authors focused on suspension systems analysis. A major part of the article is a thorough structural analysis of suspension and driving systems of analog Mars rovers build at Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Bialystok University of Technology [1]. Then there is an comparison of the Curiosity (fig. 1) rover suspension [2] and internal frame with #next Mars Rover.

Review Procedure

The paper deals with the design and review of curriculum of a formal study program employing the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) methodology that can take into account of the requirements of various stakeholders such as, academics, students, sponsors, employers, and accreditation agencies. Starting with a simple model for teaching and learning, in which curriculum is one of the basic elements, the paper describes curriculum review procedure employing the QFD planning tool known as House of Quality. Then, it presents a case study on the review of mechanical engineering program of the PNG University of Technology.

Streszczenie Absolwent Wydziału Mechanicznego Politechniki Warszawskiej (1930), współtwórca pierwszych w Polsce działających modeli silników odrzutowych: turbinowego (1931) oraz pulsacyjnego (1933). Od 1932 r. pracował w Wytwórni Silników Skoda - PZL, gdzie współuczestniczył w projektowaniu, budowie i badaniu nowoczesnego lotniczego silnika rzędowego. W latach 1937-1939 wykładał przedmiot Silniki Lotnicze w Warszawskiej Szkole Podchorążych Lotnictwa. Po wojnie początkowo wykładał w Wyższej Szkole Inżynierskiej im. H. Wawelberga i S. Rotwanda, a następnie od roku 1949 na Politechnice Warszawskiej, gdzie od roku 1955 do emerytury w 1978 r. był kierownikiem Katedry Teorii Maszyn i Mechanizmów a 19 lutego 2008 r., z okazji setnej rocznicy urodzin, został uhonorowany tytułem Doktora honoris causa. Był twórcą polskiej szkoły TMM i współzałożycielem (1969) Międzynarodowej Federacji Teorii Maszyn i Mechanizmów. W latach 1945-1951 pracował także w Polskim Komitecie Normalizacyjnym, gdzie był twórcą polskiego systemu norm i promotorem statystycznej kontroli jakości wyrobów w przemyśle - w tej dziedzinie doktoryzował się w 1951 r. W latach 1951-1974 działał też w PAN, gdzie prowadził grupę zastosowań matematyki. Był inicjatorem utworzenia w 1954 r. i współredaktorem kwartalnika Archiwum Budowy Maszyn (obecnie: Archive of Mechanical Engineering). Był aktywnym członkiem Naczelnej Organizacji Technicznej, w tym inicjatorem i aktywnym współorganizatorem Olimpiad Wiedzy Technicznej dla uzdolnionych technicznie licealistów.

The development of informatics and sensor techniques has extended the possibilities of flight parameter measurement. It allows for extensive modification of control and navigation systems in air vehicles. This advance can also be noticed in the research of the Department of Avionics and Control at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics, Rzeszow University of Technology. Research in the area of digital flight control systems was initiated at the Department of Avionics and Control over twenty years ago.

Abstract An engineering education experience for a 1st year mechanical engineering seminar using real world products is described. The seminar contains product dissection, report writing, and oral presentations. The objectives are to observe the real engineering world and to provide engineering experience for 1st year students. The product dissection items consist of a hand drill, hand cleaners, coffee maker, single-use camera, hedge trimmer, electric drill, and sheet finishing sander, some of which were obtained from the US and Japanese markets. It provides a comparison of consumer requirements in the US and Japanese markets as well as some technical aspects. The seminar was 1997 and 1998 at the Kochi University of Technology, which was opened in April, 1997. The seminar seemed successful because 1st year students were able to experience a first look at real world technology, although some modification will be needed for future sessions.

Set Up

This paper describes the set-up of the course Heat and Flow in the second year of the bachelor program in Mechanical Engineering of Eindhoven University of Technology. Before the corona pandemic and its associated lockdown, several measures have been taken to increase the success rate of this course, which used to be very low. In particular next to the normal course elements of lectures, instruction and exercise sessions, a complete online version of the course has been developed. In this way students with different learning styles are served. In order to stimulate students to spend sufficient time on the course well before the exam, a system of compulsory progress tests has been developed. A good result for each test is a requirement to pass the exam of the course. The number of attempts for each test is unlimited within a certain time frame. The combination of both developments significantly improved the success rate of the course. During the corona pandemic, the same system was maintained by offering all elements of the course in a synchronous way, but online. The written exam was replaced by an online proctored exam. Students were satisfied by this way of teaching, but the participation in the exercise sessions was very low. This can be improved by organizing them in small groups, each with a personal tutor.

Requirements of industry, research centres, and users necessitate the teaching of helicopter engineering at various levels and specialities, both in the civil and military sectors in Poland. Civil academic education of helicopter engineering has been offered for many years at the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering (FPAE) of Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) on undergraduate and graduate levels. For the past last years the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (FME) of Lublin Technical University (LTU) has also conducted education in helicopter engineering, mostly focused on airframe design and manufacturing, since a helicopter factory is located nearby.
