New Course Development ME5390/AE5301 Engineering Research
Methods This
hands-on course teaches the tools that are essential for conducting graduate
research, with an aim to prepare the students for project-based graduate
research. The course will be focused on the integration of engineering
concepts to complete course projects that imitate mini research projects. ME5390/AE5301 Structural Health Monitoring This course gives an overview of an emerging technology field
called Structural Health Monitoring (SHM). SHM refers to the broad concept of
evaluating the performance of structural components at real-time using a
variety of sensing techniques, for the purpose of providing advanced warning
of future structural failures. It has become an increasingly important
technology in civil, aerospace, and structural engineering to ensure the safe
operation of various structures, such as bridges, skyscrapers, aircraft, and
spacecrafts. This course will introduce the fundamentals of SHM as well as
recent developments in sensor technologies, damage detection techniques, and
signal processing algorithms. Special emphasis will be given to optical fiber
sensors and ultrasonic non-destructive inspection techniques. Fun Projects for K-12
Students How to make music using
wind chime pipes This project demonstrates how we can use
the principle of mechanical engineering for making music. The students are
given a set of wind chime pipes with different lengths. They can measure and
record the frequencies of the wind chime pipes using a MATLAB GUI program. By
finding the relationship between the pipe frequencies and the pipe
frequencies using Excel, they can calculate the pipe lengths that are
required to play the song "Mary
had a little lamb". Download files for this
project. The files are described as the following 1.
