The Subject

This paper aims to describe how additive manufacturing can be useful in enhancing a robotic course, allowing students to focus on all aspects of the multidisciplinary components of this subject. A three-year experience of the course of “robotic system design” is presented to support the validity of the use of this technology in teaching. This course is specifically aimed at Master of Science (MSc) Mechanical Engineering students and therefore requires one to view the subject in all its aspects including those which are not conventionally taken into consideration such as mechanical design, prototyping and the final realization.

The purpose of the article is to put forward English monologue production assessment criteria to verify the efficiency of the devised methodology of teaching English for future mechanical engineers. In the course of the research, theoretical, empirical, and statistical methods have been used. Various approaches to identifying the assessment criteria have been thoroughly analyzed. Seven criteria to assess the monologue production skills, five primary and two secondary ones, have been suggested. The allocation of the points by every criterion according to the devised scales have been elucidated. The proposed assessment criteria were used in the methodological experiment that was held at Igor Sikorsky Kyiv National Technical University. The experiment in question aimed to verify the efficiency of the devised methodology of teaching English monologue production to students majoring in mechanical engineering. Three experimental groups, 34 students in total, studying in their final year of Bachelor studies within the Subject Areas of Applied Mechanics and Industrial Engineering, participated in the methodological experiment. The conducted experiment confirmed the efficiency of the methodology proposed.

This research aims to describe the implementation of Movie for Mechanical Engineering students of Politeknik Harapan Bersama Tegal. The method used is class action research using 2 cycles. The subject of this study is class 6C with 26 people. The student's improvement in vocabulary understanding is 60% in the first cycle. However, the results were categorized as failed because only 10 students received a minimum score of 73 or above 73. So the second cycle is implemented. In the second cycle there is an increase in the percentage understanding vocabulary 75% of the average value of 69-86. So it can be concluded that the student's understanding increases using movie.

The Subject

Along with theoretical knowledge acquisition, knowledge application and professional competence acquisition must be important teaching objectives in any engineering subject. This is especially remarkable for subjects aiming the acquisition of product design knowledge, provided that, in actual professional practice, product design is done in multidisciplinary teams, taking into account technical and non-technical criteria, and with tight deadlines and budgets. This work describes the contents and teaching planning and execution for the subject “product design methodology” at the Mechanical Engineering Department of Universidad Polite´cnica de Madrid, aiming for the student acquisition of important professional competences to be used on professional product design practice, such as systematic decision making, global company view, task prioritizing, internal and external entrepreneurship, or teamwork, as well as hard competences such as design procedures, quality or project economics. Student teamwork examples from the problem-based learning (PBL) experience, together with internal and external surveys are shown to check the validity of the proposal.

And Control

Introducing mechanical engineering (ME) students to microcomputer applications in data acquisition and control areas needs to be done appropriately. It would not be the type of training suitable for ME students if excessive hardware associated details are involved. This paper describes the development of a subject with such ‘appropriateness’ in mind. The subject, as an elective, has been welcomed and enthusiastically participated in by a larger percentage of the final year (i.e. fourth year) and postgraduate students during the last few years. This is in a way indicative that the approach taken is appropriate for ME students.

Abstract The mobile platform is an attractive educational tool that has brought to myriad effective benefits for a variety of the application fields. Furthermore, application of the mobile platform to engineering education has greatly assisted the engineering students’ firsthand experiences in college. However, most of the robotics classes offered today are concentrating on mechatronics and software education. For the advancement, this paper develops the mobile platform for the effective curriculum in teaching design and fabrication of robots in the house. The design of the proposed mobile platform bases on the knowledge of the majors subject from mechanical engineering. Through the dynamic simulation, the possibility of an introduction of the developed platform to robotics education is verified. Dynamic simulation experiments with the maximum velocity and acceleration of this system are carried out to check the application for educational purposes. As a final step, components of the platform are fabricated and assembled.

The A. Leon Linton Department of Mechanical Engineering at Lawrence Technological University offered a new senior capstone project to a small group of students, funded by a teaching grant from the National Fluid Power Association. All mechanical engineering students at Lawrence Tech must complete a capstone project: either an SAE competition team or a project addressing a particular industry need. The team that worked on the current project consisted of students with various concentrations in mechanical engineering and included an international visiting student from Brazil. Three faculty in Mechanical Engineering, each with different areas of expertise: thermodynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics and mechatronics, mentored and worked closely with the students at every step of this project. The objective of this project was to design and fabricate a classroom-scale gantry crane for material handling. The undergraduate students were not only involved in the design of a fluid powered system, but also worked on the modeling of mechanical components and the mechanical system as well as circuit design for an operator interface. The self-guided and real-world design aspect of the project increases the effectiveness of teaching by the faculty and retention of the subject by the students involved in the project.

Abstract This paper describes a three-week long project for teaching microcomputer-based data acquisition. The project is part of a senior level laboratory course for mechanical engineering students at Santa Clara University. The subject of investigation is the lift coefficient of an airfoil. Students in groups of two carried out the project in three phases. The laboratory activities in each phase are designed to provide the students hands-on experience with the basic functions, hardware and software of a microcomputer-based data acquisition system. Typical results obtained by the students are presented. The project has been proved to be successful for the students to learn and practice the three basic concepts in data acquisition which are measurements, controls and programming.

The Subject

Projects for flood protection are increasingly the subject of investment projects in the field of water management. This is related to the increasing frequency of worldwide threats caused by extreme weather conditions, including extremely high rainfall causing floods. Technical and nontechnical flood protection measures are also increasing in importance. In the decision-making process, it is necessary to take into account both the costs and benefits of avoiding losses, including an analysis of social benefits, whose valuation of non-market goods is an essential element. A comprehensive account of projects in the field of flood protection based on the estimated costs and benefits of the investment allows the economic efficiency from a general social point of view to be determined. Previous evaluations of the effectiveness of investment projects have mainly taken into account only categories and market values. The aim of the article is to identify the possibilities to expand the values of non-market assessments and categories formulated on the basis of the theoretical economics of the environment.
