چکیده
Design engineers must have an intuitive understanding of the behavior of dynamic systems. Teaching the mathematical tools for analyzing and designing dynamic systems presents the challenge of maintaining the connection to the physical world. This paper describes a novel sequence of undergraduate laboratory experiments that illustrates basic concepts in dynamic system analysis and motivates their use as design tools. The approach taken connects the laboratory sessions with a design goal for a dynamic mechanical device that the students can see, touch, re-design and modify. The device used is called the “Dashpod,” a simple, pneumatically-actuated, selfstabilizing, dynamic hopping machine. Through coordinated laboratory sessions and lectures, students used classroom concepts to improve the machine’s hopping motion. This paper describes the purpose and design of the Dashpod, presents examples of how it was integrated into laboratory exercises and shows results of student evaluations.

Dynamic Simulation of CNTFET-Based Digital Circuits
In this paper we propose a simulation study to carry out dynamic analysis of CNTFET-based digital circuit, introducing in the semi-empirical compact model for CNTFETs, already proposed by us, both the quantum capacitance effects and the sub-threshold currents. To verify the validity of the obtained results, a comparison with Wong model was carried out. Our mode...

Background: The need for high-quality education and setting principles and practices for enhancing educational policy and practice using modern techniques is self-evident. The entrance of students into the factories is sometimes limited, and of particular concern is that students likely face danger by their presence at the workplace. A review of the related literature revealed no research inv...

متن کاملPower Flow Modelling of Dynamic Systems - Introduction to Modern Teaching Tools
As tools for dynamic system modelling both conventional methods such as transfer function or state space representation and modern power flow based methods are available. The latter methods do not depend on energy domain, are able to preserve physical system structures, visualize power conversion or coupling or split, identify power losses or storage, run on conventional software and emphasize ...
متن کاملAdaptation of a Task-oriented Training Environment to Its Users
The problem of adapting teaching systems to the teacher has not been extensively covered in the specialised literature. The authors present the server-client architecture of a Task-Oriented Environment for Design of Virtual Labs (TOEDVL). The paper focuses on the computational models supporting its base of tasks (BT) and on two groups of behavioural tutor’s models for planning training sessions...
