Impact of Industrial Partnerships in the Acoustics Program at Kettering University
No full textKettering University has an experiential learning model in which students typically alternate between academic and cooperative work terms every quarter during their entire undergraduate degree program. In this approach, industrial partners play a particularly critical role. In this talk, we will discuss how partnerships with industry have impacted our classroom experiences and inspired curricular elements that incorporate theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches to solve problems in acoustics. We will highlight some of the work related to acoustics that students have done in their co-op projects and how students have served as a bridge between the academic and corporate environments. The course “Acoustics in the Human Environment” has recently benefited from a grant from the Head Acoustics Foundation. The course was revamped in Spring 2022 to include more detailed analysis and a jury study that make use of this donation. The course “Acoustic Testing and Modeling” uses Siemens Simcenter Testlab to acquire experimental data and Comsol for computer simulations. Recently, this course has added a module on Laser Doppler Vibrometry that makes use of equipment from Polytec. The efforts in these courses have enabled students to be better prepared for acoustic testing projects for a thesis or co-operative employment terms
Queueing Models in Services – Analytical and Simulation Approach
No full textThis chapter focuses on a few selected queueing models that are useful in service sectors. It uses both analytical and simulation approaches to discuss a few selected models that are useful in practice as well as to point out the significant role played by the correlated arrivals. The chapter also focuses on the study of complicated queueing models through simulation using ARENA, a powerful simulation software. It briefly reviews phase‐type distributions and the batch Markovian arrival process (BMAP) as they will be used as building blocks for some of the simulated models. The chapter discusses a few queueing models of BMAP/G/c type in which the servers can go on a vacation whenever the system has no customers waiting in the queue at a service completion through simulation. In order to validate the simulated models, it looks at the classical vacation model
3/24/2021: CS6813 - Introduction to Artificial Intelligence
No full textThis is a version of the CS 681 course that will be used in the MEng program. The general content is the same, but the depth of coverage of each topic will be slightly less to match the 3 versus 4 credit hours and the needs of the MEng students
3/24/2021: Course Change Form MECH 595
No full textThe course will now only be allowed for credit for the professionally-oriented M. Eng. Degree and will allow for students to take seminars from Kettering University in addition to SAE International. A maximum of two seminar courses are allowed
