11/20/2019: Course Change Form ECE 601
No full textThe new ECE-601 course proposal supports the proposed changes to the MSE: Mobility Systems program. The goal of the program is to integrate all of the automotive-related graduate courses under a multidisciplinary program and thereby grow the graduate study body by attracting more non-ME students. The ECE-601 course is intended to prepare students with non-ECE undergraduate degrees (e.g. IME, ME) for advanced courses in ECE areas of mobility systems.

6/5/2019: Approved - UCC MS Lean Substitutions
No full textKettering Global is requesting approval for 2 course substitutions for graduates of the Master of Science in Lean Manufacturing who wish to earn a MBA as a second degree. Currently, these graduates must take 7 courses to complete the MBA as none of the MSLM program courses (MFGO prefix) are allowed as transfers. (The only courses that transfer to the second degree are 3 certificate courses.)
Review of MSLM and MBA course descriptions and outcomes revealed that 2 MFGO courses meet the criteria and outcomes for 2 MBA courses. As a result, Kettering Global is requesting the following substitutions be approved: MFGO601 The Globally Integrated Manufacturing Company (MS Lean Manufacturing substituted for BUSN659 International Business in the MBA MFGO659 Integrative Capstone Project for the MS Lean Manufacturing substituted for MGMT665 Strategic Management in the MBA
Currently students who complete an MBA. MSOM or MSEM can, per the catalog, add a second degree (either MBA, MSOM or MSEM) by taking 40% of the courses in the program or all core courses. MSLM students will be able to earn an MBA by taking 5 courses instead of 7 courses
Senior Mechanical Systems Design Capstone Projects: Experiences and Assessment
No full textOrganizing and completing an undergraduate senior design capstone project course that lasts only ten to eleven weeks (one quarter term) is challenging for both the instructor and for the students. In this paper, the experiences and assessment of few senior capstone design projects in the mechanical systems area is discussed in detail. The present author is the coordinator of this capstone course. One of the senior lab technicians helps the students outside the class hours with refining their design drawings, procurement of material, fabrication and testing phases. He helps the author instructor with the assessment of students’ work by providing constant feedback about the progress the student groups make at various intervals of time. In this paper, sample capstone design projects and their outcomes will be presented. In particular, this paper gives an overview of the developed devices specifically by focusing on the design and development aspects of the prototypes. Rubrics for grading were provided at the beginning of the term and their progress monitored on a weekly basis. The student involvement includes understanding the strengths and weaknesses of their prerequisites knowledge needed to successfully complete the chosen project. Since ours is a co-op university, students alternate between academic and work terms. They have working knowledge and good time management skills. Industry interaction in the capstone courses is highly desirable but not always easy to secure due to various practical reasons that the companies have, one of which is short duration of the class (10 to 11 weeks)
In-Situ Extraction and Impregnation of Black Walnut Husk into Polyethylene Film Using Supercritical Carbon Dioxide With an Ethanol Modifier
Get PDFWalnuts are commonly cultivated for their kernel, which is a rich source of antioxidant phenolic compounds. The husk likewise contains antioxidant and antimicrobial compounds, but is typically discarded without further processing. Antioxidant compounds are useful in creating active packaging films, but typically decompose at melt extrusion temperatures in polymer processing. Due to carbon dioxide\u27s low critical point and ability to swell polymer films, supercritical carbon dioxide may be used to impregnate phenolic compounds into polymers. For this study, a novel technique is used to simultaneously produce walnut husk extracts and impregnate the extract into polymer films in the same batch extractor using supercritical carbon dioxide with a 15 wt-% ethanol modifier at 60°C at 19.4 MPa. The effect of varying the loading of walnut husk in the extractor upon impregnation mass was evaluated with the impregnation mass of the film increasing with walnut husk loading. It was determined by FTIR, as well as the reduction of the protein cytochrome c, that antioxidant compounds may be extracted from walnut husks and impregnated into low-density polyethylene film (LDPE) by this technique
Lithium Ion Capacitors (LICs): Development of the Materials
No full textHigh-performance energy storage devices are extremely useful in sustainable transportation systems. Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and supercapacitors (SCs) are well-known energy storage technologies due to their exceptional role in consumer electronics and grid energy storage. However, in the present state of the art, both devices are inadequate for many applications such as hybrid electric vehicles and so on. Lithium-ion capacitors (LICs) are combinations of LIBs and SCs which phenomenally improve the performance by bridging the gap between these two devices. In this review, we first introduce the concept of LICs, criteria for materials selection and recent trends in the anode and cathode materials development. Then, the achievements and prospects associated with LICs are discussed. Finally, we give our recommendations on fabricating anode with hybrid and nanostructured form and cathode with improved capacitive performance
