6/3/2020: Course Change Form EE- 446
No full textThis is a new elective course focused on vector control of ac electric machines for e-mobility. The course topics have been refined through two successful special topics (EE-491) offerings (Spring 2019 enrollment 14/20 and Spring 2020 enrollment 21/20). This course will be dual listed with EE-646
2/26/2020: MGMT 312
No full textWhile still important, the program is moving away from a specific focus on systems thinking and instead of having independent courses in that discipline, the content is being included in other courses. This also opens up space for additional courses in the curriculum
2/26/2020: Course Change Form MGMT 101
No full textThis change moves some of the complex-systems thinking content from MGMT 102 to support and inform the project management and team dynamics already in MGMT 101. In this sense the course content represents the day-to-day work and constraints Kettering students face in their co-op environment
Infinite Server Queueing-Inventory Models
No full textIn this paper, we study an MAP/M/∞ role= presentation style= box-sizing: inherit; display: inline; line-height: normal; word-spacing: normal; overflow-wrap: normal; white-space: nowrap; float: none; direction: ltr; max-width: none; max-height: none; min-width: 0px; min-height: 0px; border: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px; position: relative; \u3eMAP/M/∞MAP/M/∞ queue associated with an inventory system. The inventory is replenished according to an (s, S)-policy. The (self) service and lead times are assumed to be exponentially distributed. No arriving customer is allowed to enter into the system (of infinite capacity) when there is no inventory available for servicing the customer. Thus, every customer in service is attached with an inventory at the time of entering into the system. We employ an algorithmic approach for the computation of various quantities of interest and derive some explicit expressions in some cases. An illustrative example and an optimization problem are presented
Applied Research in Undergraduate Capstone Classes
No full textThe objective of this paper is to discuss the different aspects of applied research carried in typical undergraduate capstone classes, and to what extent it helps students to meet their objectives and quality of their project work. An example of a project dealing with an automated bed clearing mechanism of a 3D printing machine will be presented. The students developed two ideas of this system. The design details of one of the systems was submitted for presentation at another conference. In this paper, the educational aspects and brief technical details of both mechanisms will be presented and discussed. The 3D printer in this example uses Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) process. Many automotive, aerospace and other sectors are focusing on using functional 3D printed parts to either reduce the weight or to replace metal parts that otherwise require complex processes and assemblies. The applied research component of the work presented in this paper is to design the systems that are user-friendly and be able to print multiple parts without human interaction. This saves time to load and unload one component at a time. The teaching and learning parts of undertaking this and other capstone projects will be briefly discussed in this paper
