  • This paper reports the results of course restructuring employing design projects in an introductory mechanics of materials course at Pennsylvania State University. Unlike traditional lecture courses, students were encouraged to learn the rudiments of mechanical design and how materials standards, economics, manufacturing, environmental, legal (liability) and societal (safety) concerns relate to design. Through conducting collaborative design projects, the instructors helped students to acquire more advanced skills such as team-based decision making, integration and establishment of criteria, use of modern design theory, consideration of alternative solutions, and application of realistic constraints. In order to examine the impact of new course changes on students' learning, a survey was conducted in 1998 Fall semester. According to the results of survey analyses, students reported high values on this introductory mechanics of materials course. However, they did not give high values on the design projects. Rather, they preferred lecture sessions. Additionally, it was also found that students who earned higher grades from a prerequisite course(statics) showed lower values on the design projects. Implications for engineering educators and suggestions for future research studies were discussed.

  • This study is an introductory study on Convergence of Traditional Chinese Paper-cutting Art and Contemporary Ceramic Decoration. As a part of Chinese folk art, now newly developed by the convergence of contemporary ceramic ar, today it promotes artists' creativity and find a alternative way for ceramic art. This mainly explore transition of 2 dimentional paper-cutting art into ceramic art. As a part of convergence art, this study suggest combination of 4 elements yin-yang-true-false with understanding of its history and contemporary status, and towards aesthetic values.

  • Commonly it is perceived that it is difficult to teach engineering design and satisfy accreditation criteria in computer science and engineering related majors. However, since engineering design in these disciplines are a product design, it is more adaptable than other majors which are process design oriented. This paper shows that although there are subtle differences with conventional engineering design, engineering design education in computer science and engineering can be effectively done. This paper concentrates on how engineering design related curriculum can be constructed, what should be considered when designing such curriculum, and how engineering design can be taught in individual design courses(excluding introductory and capstone courses) based on case experience.

  • This paper describes introductory remarks on risk management and risk-based design for ships and offshore installations with potential hazards. Clients' requirements on safety and performance was related to the risk management and risk-based design. A general procedure for risk-based design was also suggested with each step explained in detail. Various risk-based design approaches were emphasized with their needs and methodological characteristics taken into account. Related rules, standards, and regulations were summarized. The last part included recommendations for Korean ship building industries about the risk management and risk-based design.

  • This study described the application of constructivism and information technology for teaching simple random sampling. We considered more student's participation, more interaction, and more flow in their introductory statistics class. In addition, we presented a web-based teaching and learning system for simple random sampling to demonstrate.

  • The continuously variable transmission (C.V.T.) has been introduced for many years, however, the application of C.V.T. system has been used rather restrictively because of the problems such as reliability, durability, efficiency and, controllability. In this paper, some of the research trends about the control algorithms and the system design method involving C.V.T. is introduced. An engine is assumed in operation along the ideal operating line and it is also considered to be controlled independently to the C.V.T. system. The control simulation has been carried out to confirm it and also the operation performance of the system is investigated.

  • Recently a demand for student-centered creative design education is rapidly growing, but well organized design curriculum and design practice complex are not established properly in most universities. In this paper, we present a scheme for design-centered engineering curriculum and a method to build a design practice complex for creative design education which it is currently attracting a lot of interest in engineering education. Based on the analysis of the conventional curriculum of electronic engineering, a new curriculum and a design practice complex that is suitable for enhancement of professional practice capability and by which an effective engineering education through introductory design, element design and advanced design steps can be performed is described.

  • We have announced a series of Archimedean stars on the mathematical art galleries of Bridges conference since 2012. We are developing a systematic approach and methodology about the composition process of Archimedean stars on geometric tube design. We will introduce the various information about the Archimedean horizontal stars under certain introductory level as well as the underlying information of Archimedean stars to provide them as useful sources for certain creative experimental mathematics education.

  • In recent years, the effects of a possible climate change have been discussed in regard to wind loading on buildings and structures. Simple scenarios based on the assumption of global warming suggest an increase of storm intensities and storm frequencies and a possible re-distribution of storm tracks. Among recent publications, some papers seem to verify these scenarios while others deny the influence of climatic change. In an introductory step, the paper tries to re-examine these statements. Based on meteorological observations of a weather station in Germany, the existence of long-term trends and their statistical significance is investigated. The analysis itself is based on a refined model for the wind climate introducing a number of new basic variables. Thus, the numerical values of the design wind loads used in modern codes become more justified from the probabilistic point of view.
