Source Noise Extraction During Electric Vehicle Pass-By Noise Testing Using Multiple Coherence
No full textDue to the nearly silent operation of an electric motor, it is difficult for pedestrians to detect an approaching electric vehicle. To address this safety concern, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 141, “Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles”. This FMVSS 141 standard requires the measurement of electric vehicle noise according to certain test protocols; however, performing these tests can be difficult since inconsistent results can occur in the presence of transient background noise. Methods to isolate background noise during static sound measurements have already been established, though these methods are not directly applicable to a pass-by noise test where neither the background noise nor the vehicle itself as it travels past the microphone produce stationary sound signals. In this work, a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt electric vehicle is used for physical testing of pass-by noise at the Kettering University GM Mobility Research Center (GMMRC), an inner-city proving ground in Flint, Michigan. Sound signal processing is performed using a multiple coherence approach including discrete time intervals to isolate background noise from the noise of the electric vehicle. The suitability of both the signal processing method and the MRC facility for pass-by noise testing of electric vehicles is investigated and presented
How Students View the Role of Faculty Advisors in the SWE Organization
Get PDFThe Society of Women Engineers (SWE) collegiate sections attract many men and women to the society, and they can be among the largest and most active student organizations on the university campuses. A key factor to boost membership is the active involvement of faculty advisors, who serve as the liaison between SWE collegiate sections, the university, the National SWE organization, and professional SWE members. A group of SWE faculty advisors previously conducted a survey of faculty advisors and counselors, with advisors and counselors aggregated in the results, to determine what aspects of their role they consider most significant, and how they engage with the students. The study showed that faculty advisors play an important role in providing continuity to the section, participation in and understanding of the larger organization, and in mentoring students on both general leadership and SWE leadership. This paper examines how students view the role of their faculty advisor in their SWE collegiate section. The objectives of this study are to understand the challenges that collegiate sections face and what types of support they need from their faculty advisor. A survey about the level of importance of different roles of faculty advisors was conducted. Additional ways students feel their faculty advisor could help them was also addressed. The data was analyzed to identify key factors that faculty advisors should consider while serving in these roles within student sections. The findings were then compared to the results of the self-assessment of the faculty advisors
10/5/2020: Literatures of Migration
No full textThis course has three main objectives: elicit reflection on migration literature; sharpen students’ reading and interpretive skills; improve students’ ability to write clearly, coherently, and persuasively. It fulfills a major Liberal Studies and university learning outcome, critical thinking. It can also count for the International Studies minor and the Pre-Law minor, and be part of the CARE cluster
