- This project presents the Effect of Design Parameters on the Discharge of a Single-acting Reciprocating Pump for use in the Mechanical Engineering laboratory of the Akwa Ibom State University (AKSU). The project provides a portable positive displacement pump for demonstrating the movement of fluids in the laboratory. The component consists of a-transparent piston-cylinder assembly, suction pipe, delivery pipe, suction valve, delivery valve, crank, and connecting rod mechanism powered by an electric motor. During the operation of this apparatus, there will be visual movement of the piston during the suction and delivery stroke per each cycle. The pump piston has a diameter of 0.100 m, a stroke length of 0.305 m, and a designed speed of 20 r.p.m. The suction head and delivery are 0.762 m and 1.585 m, respectively. The practical operations were performed, and data was collected. The reciprocating pump principles were applied for the pressure head analysis during the suction and delivery strokes. The parametric analysis carried out includes the acceleration head during the suction stroke at the beginning of the delivery stroke and the pressure head in the middle of the stroke and at the end of the suction stroke. Analyses were performed, and the results indicate a pump discharge of delivery.0008 m3/s with work done by the pump of 18.40 Nm/sec. Further studies were performed for four different piston diameters, stroke lengths, and speeds. The results were used in the computation analysis for the discharge and work done by the pump.

In this work, we adopt a problem-based learning approach to develop an integrative bachelor project that relies on competences acquired from basic courses in mathematics, mechanics and computation. In this sense, the proposed project tries to pave the way from “apparently disconnected” concepts gained through previous studies toward the field of computational mechanics. On this basis, we study the motion of a particle along an arbitrary curve in space subject only to the gravitational field, the so-called sliding bead. Although this is a classic problem in mechanics, it has a substantial richness from a theoretical and practical point of view where the student reinforcing abstract skills and exploring different aspects of its numerical solution are allowed. Along this path, we start with the modeling process. This is followed by a stability analysis of the governing differential equations. Later on, we present a moderate introduction to classical numerical time integration by considering several numerical schemes and the well-known Matlab add-on Simulink. Finally, we present a brief discussion about how the proposed project allows articulating concepts of mathematics, mechanics, and computation in engineering programs of studies at horizontal and vertical levels.

The Given-Find-Solution (GFS) method is a widely used procedure to systematically understand “what the problem is” in engineering problems. Nevertheless, the GFS method does not provide a clear guide on how to handle uncertainty, feasibility, and preference for design problems. Addressing this issue is crucial since the designer usually requires making assumptions to be able to propose functional solutions. The Given-Find-In Order To-Subjected To (GFIS) method and roadmap are here proposed to systematically state a design problem and requirements using fuzzy desirability functions to handle uncertainty, feasibility, and preference. The GFIS method lists the parameters, variables, specifications, restrictions, and preferences to facilitate the decision-making process. A comparative study was conducted with undergraduate students from Tecnológico de Monterrey enrolled in the course Design Methodologies. The students solved a band brake design problem before and after applying the GFIS method, and their performance was compared. The results showed a significant improvement in their decision-making ability, their capability to find feasible solutions, and the time required to make a design proposal.
给定求解（GFS）方法是一种广泛使用的程序，用于系统地理解工程问题中的“问题是什么”。然而，GFS方法并没有就如何处理设计问题的不确定性、可行性和偏好提供明确的指导。解决这个问题至关重要，因为设计者通常需要做出假设才能提出功能解决方案。本文提出了Given Find In Order To Subjected To（GFIS）方法和路线图，使用模糊期望函数来处理不确定性、可行性和偏好，系统地陈述设计问题和需求。GFIS方法列出了参数、变量、规范、限制和偏好，以便于决策过程。对蒙特雷技术学院参加设计方法学课程的本科生进行了比较研究。学生们在应用GFIS方法前后解决了一个带式制动器的设计问题，并对他们的性能进行了比较。结果表明，他们的决策能力、寻找可行解决方案的能力以及提出设计方案所需的时间都有了显著提高。

From the pedagogical point of view, a very interesting initiative for engineering schools is to engage their students in design, renovation, or maintenance projects of laboratory equipment. It allows engineering students to work on real projects, with all the difficulties that arise in field testing, and to gain hands-on experience from the confrontation of practical situations and challenges, which presents positive outcomes regarding learning objectives and program appreciation. This article presents an engineering project developed by students for instrumentation and automation of an old manually operated torsion testing machine, for execution of accurate mechanical tests and reliable physical replications of real-world industrial processes on laboratory scale. An electrical resistive furnace is incorporated into the torsion testing machine to also allow hot torsion tests with controlled temperature. In addition to students’ skills development, this project yields a completely functional instrumented and automated torsion testing machine, with a controlled temperature electrical furnace and other features that have been used in Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral projects, laboratory classes, and new research.

- SKD11 steel is a high-carbon and high-chromium alloy tool steel used to do cold work or hot work dressing dies, sides of rollers, and screw heading molds. The hardened SKD11 steel has a high hardness of 58-62HRC, good wear resistance, and good toughness. Hard turning is an important process because manufacturers continually seek ways to manufacture their parts with lower cost, higher quality, rapid setups, lower investment, and smaller tooling inventory while eliminating non-value-added activities where Surface roughness is an important parameter determining the accuracy and quality of parts. In this paper, an analysis of the surface roughness of SKD11 steel in hard turning with mixed ceramic inserts is performed based on variables like cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut. The feed rate is the most significant parameter affecting the surface roughness in the machining process. Prediction of surface roughness considering the simultaneous effect of cutting parameters is very difficult. Here, a mathematical model is developed based on the simultaneous effect of depth, cutting speed, and feed rate. Moreover, the developed model is validated using different sets of cutting conditions and found in close agreement with experimental results.

Nowadays demands on scientific literacy consider nature of engineering as crucial, introducing the scientific and ontological foundations of engineering. As a result, this study was conducted to examine the students’ views on nature of engineering at the Materials Science and Engineering department at University of Ioannina, through the views of first- and fifth-year students. 145 students participated in this research, 75 first-year and 70 graduate students. Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire with open-ended questions that required scientific knowledge, regarding Engineering and Science. After the collection of the questionnaires, statistical processing was carried out regarding the first and the last year student's views, as well as the prospective change of their views during the years of their study. The results of the study revealed that first-year students had already a formed view of engineering; however, their answers tended to be numerous, short and generally formulated, while a complete lack of knowledge on technical engineering issues was observed. At the same time, in elaborated questions that sought to explore their beliefs about nature of engineering, the students’ views were simple, vague, scientifically naive and in some cases non-existent. On the contrary, the fifth-year students seemed to have sufficient and satisfactory knowledge of the cognitive subject, with much more accurate and scientifically correct opinions, mainly regarding technical issues. However, their responses regarding nature of engineering simulated the first-year students, where it was found that the level of assimilation concerning nature of engineering is equally low.

Fluid mechanics is a fundamental course in many disciplines such as civil engineering and hydraulic engineering, with broad applicability and practical significance in engineering. However, the abstractness and multiplicity of its basic concepts hinders students’ first-hand experience during traditional classroom learning, and the time and space limitation of its offline experiment often results in unsatisfying teaching effectiveness. To address these challenges, a set of virtual simulation experiment system is developed for the course of fluid mechanics, along with an external support system to maximize its performance. Evaluation based on curriculum objective achievement shows that this experimental system has significantly improved the teaching effectiveness for the course of fluid mechanics. It promotes students’ independent learning skills and their ability utilizing fluid mechanics knowledge to understand, simplify and solve practical engineering problems.

The School of Engineering and Technology of Central Queensland University focuses on the continuous development and innovation of best learning and teaching practices to increase student retention and improve their learning experiences. Face to face and distance learning (teaching delivery models) are fundamental aspects of providing quality support to the students’ learning. One incredibly important aspect of students’ learning is to provide relevant industry-related projects and applications of relevant simulation software to mimic the systems. This paper develops students’ essential problem-solving skills and control strategies of fluid power systems in mechanical engineering through the Master of Engineering programs by employing Simulink, SimScape Fluid applications in Matlab software and Energy Plus with Design Builder. The main focus is to ensure that the students achieve the required skills of building fluid circuit models based on physical connections that directly integrate with appropriate symbols and modelling paradigms in fluid power applications to model the appropriate physical models to mimic the industrial fluid power projects selected. The basic ideas and content are to be delivered through weekly lectures and tutorial sessions, and the students’ skills in fluid power systems and software are developed and monitored through weekly workshops scheduled for all projects. The key outcomes of this study are the level of understanding of fluid power systems, development of simulation skills using the software indicated, interpretation of the results the students have obtained and validations of those results. The students must show they have developed appropriate problem-solving skills using simulation software, professional presentation and effective team-building skills. As the students develop appropriate problem-solving and engineering practice skills, their satisfaction and feedback rates improve significantly.
