Abstract:
From an early age, children harbor vivid dreams of their ideal future professions, fueling their aspirations and shaping their journey toward fulfilling careers. A dream that starts prior to school and grows along the journey. In this paper, I delve into the intricate factors that shaped my aspiration to become an engineer and how they molded my professional engineering identity. I adopted autoethnography and narrative inquiry approaches, delving into personal experiences and employing qualitative research methods. Through this exploration, I uncover the profound impact of societal perception theory and social learning theory on shaping my career aspirations from an early age. Reflecting on my own journey as a chemical engineering student, I trace my fascination with science back to my childhood and unveil the pivotal decision to pursue chemical engineering. Within this paper, I extensively discuss the educational environment, teaching methods, and familial influences that played crucial roles in shaping my chosen path. Furthermore, I tackle the challenges encountered throughout my university education, encompassing academic hardships, technical assessments, and the abrupt transition to online learning necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite these obstacles, my unwavering passion for chemical engineering was revitalized through hands-on application and interdisciplinary courses. This study places great emphasis on the significance of comprehensive engineering education in fostering the development of essential professional skills, critical thinking prowess, and problem-solving abilities. It serves as a testament to the multifaceted nature of engineering education and its profound influence in shaping an individual's engineering identity. Through this meticulous exploration, I aim to provide valuable insights into the underlying dynamics that drive individuals towards engineering as a profession and contribute to the broader understanding of engineering education's transformative power.

Abstract:
The prospect of manned space missions outside Earth's orbit is limited by the travel time and shielding against cosmic radiation. The chemical rockets currently used in the space program have no hope of propelling a manned vehicle to a far away location such as Mars due to the enormous mass of fuel that would be required. The specific energy available from nuclear fuel is a factor of 106 higher than chemical fuel; it is therefore obvious that nuclear power production in space is a must. On the other hand, recent considerations to send a man to the Moon for a long stay would require a stable, secured and safe source of energy (there is hardly anything beyond nuclear power that would provide a useful and reliably safe sustainable supply of energy). National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) anticipates that the mass of a shielding material required for long travel to Mars is the next major design driver. In 2006 NASA identified a need to assess and evaluate potential gaps in existing knowledge and understanding of the level and types of radiation critical to astronauts' health during the long travel to Mars and to start a comprehensive study related to the shielding design of a spacecraft finding the conditions for the mitigation of radiation components contributing to the doses beyond accepted limits. In order to reduce the overall space craft mass, NASA is looking for the novel, multi-purpose and multi-functional materials that will provide effective shielding of the crew and electronics on board. The Laboratory for Neutronics and Geometry Computation in the School of Nuclear Engineering at Purdue University led by Prof. Tatjana Jevremovic began in 2004 the analytical evaluations of different lightweight materials. The preliminary results of the design survey study are presented in this paper.

Abstract:
Human factors/ergonomics (HF/E) has a 100-year history at Purdue University. Frank and Lillian Gilbreth exerted considerable influence on the development of HF/E at Purdue during its first 50 years. Their interdisciplinary approach is evident in the programs of the School of Industrial Engineering and the Department of Psychological Sciences as well as in the many individuals in other departments who have interests in HF/E. Although there has been a shift toward cognitive ergonomics in the past 50 years, the interdisciplinary legacy of the Gilbreths continues to be relevant to research, education, and application in HF/E in the 21st century.

Abstract:
Ethnicity, age, and the feeling of belonging for students can affect their performance in class. A noninteractive or unmingled student who lacks the feeling of belonging to other classmates or a group of students has high potential to perform poorly, especially in classes where teamwork is required and highly desirable. This article surveyed the ethnicity and demographics of 194 students in a fluid power class offered within the School of Engineering Technology at Purdue University. The survey collected the gender, age, and ethnicity of students enrolled in the class at the main campus and at five other remote locations spread over the state of Indiana that are part of Purdue University. All surveyed locations shared the same labs and course learning outcomes. The final scores for the students with different ethnicities, demographics, and ages were analyzed showing the average, minimum, and maximum in each location. The group grades, ethnicity, gender, and age were summarized and sorted into three categories: students enrolled in the main campus, students enrolled at statewide locations while being aggregated in one pool, and students from statewide locations but each location was presented separately. Although “White” students were the dominant group for all considered campuses, statistical analysis of the students’ grades showed that the locations that had slightly more diverse groups had the highest average scores. It was also noticed that the scores and performance of the students depended mainly on their interaction and willingness to mingle with other students. Other factors that can affect the students’ performance such as family background, family obligations and support, school-related factors, and other social factors were not part of this study.

Abstract:
Introducing Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to engineering students at the undergraduate level has become more common in recent years, although there are significant barriers for doing so using a generalized CFD solver. A common constraint is the quantity of material to be covered in a fixed amount of time in a given course, which leaves little time left for learning the use of a generalized CFD package. With this consideration in mind, FlowLab (www.flowlab.fluent.com) was introduced by Fluent Inc. FlowLab may be described as a virtual fluids laboratory—a computer based analysis and visualization package. Using FlowLab, students solve predefined CFD exercises. These predefined exercises facilitate teaching and provide students with hands-on CFD experience. Through the design of each FlowLab exercise, students are introduced to engineering problems and concepts as well as CFD via a structured learning process. In the fall 2003 semester at Purdue University, FlowLab was used in CHE 540, a transport phenomena course offered within the School of Chemical Engineering. This course is open to advanced undergraduate engineering students and graduate students. Students were exposed to eight separate FlowLab exercises in this course. This paper gives a detailed summary of one of these specific exercises, developing flow in a pipe with and without heat transfer. The paper emphasizes how the use of CFD via FlowLab enhanced the teaching of specific concepts in transport phenomena as well as concepts in CFD such as creating a parametric geometry, discretizing the geometry, specifying boundary conditions, material properties and operating conditions, numerical solution techniques and post-processing. Experiences from this course are that FlowLab is a positive force for creating student interest and excitement in the area of fluid mechanics and transport phenomena. Using FlowLab’s post-processing capabilities, students were able to visualize complex flow fields and make direct comparison to analytical theory and experimental correlation. In addition, FlowLab provided a structured learning experience which reinforced proper pedagogy for applying CFD to engineering problems. Upon completion of the course, a student survey was performed in CHE 540 focusing on FlowLab integration and usage, and survey responses are summarized in this paper.

Abstract:
Hands-on, design oriented experiences have been shown to increase the visibility of the engineering profession; inspiring pre-college students to better prepare in math and science, and pursue an engineering degree. Most of these programs are successful, but they primarily focus on the creative aspects of highly specialized industries with little regard to the detail process of real world engineering design. Many students enroll in engineering programs believing the profession is solely focused on creativity and “building stuff” from a provided set of components. Once faced with the analysis and detail-oriented aspects of engineering practice, or the reality that most engineers are not employed by NASA or in robotics related industries, many students abandon engineering programs for other degree plans. The University of Texas at Tyler is using process control systems design as a theme to expose pre-college and college-level students to “common” engineering practices. This outreach program is part of a National Science Foundation funded project to provide hands-on opportunities to design, build, and test thermal/fluid based process control systems in an effort to attract and retain increased numbers of engineering students. This paper describes the proof of concept Process Control Breadboard System developed to provide a broad spectrum of students with exposure to the design of “common” engineering systems. Pre-college students come to realize that a wide range of engineering disciplines including: agricultural, chemical, electrical, mechanical, and petroleum engineering, consider process controls a part of their discipline. In addition, middle school students get exposed to the detail oriented aspects of real world engineering design; gaining experience in CAD modeling and producing bills of material prior to the hands-on build and test of their systems. Results from a variety of outreach and university level curriculum integration activities, conducted during the first two years of grant funding, will be presented, along with a summary of lessons learned and plans for future activities.

Abstract:
Work is currently being done using multimedia tools to create virtual laboratory experiments for the Introduction to Materials course (MET 141) at Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI). These efforts are part of a larger project to incorporate the entire class; lecture, laboratory, homework, exams, and quizzes into an online environment. Video, audio, data capture and analysis, hardware, and software tools are being utilized and developed to create this new method of performing and analyzing laboratory experiments. The foundation for this project was created during the 2001–2002 school year. During that time, a CD-ROM laboratory supplement was developed to accompany the lab manual used in the Introduction to Materials course. The CD-ROM combined video, audio, text, and graphics to help students understand the procedures and equipment being used in the experiments. With this start, the idea of converting the entire course into a distance-learning format was formed. While many courses are delivered in a distance-learning format, incorporating laboratory experiments in the same manner can present several new challenges. This paper will detail the development of this project, the tools used to create the virtual experiments, and give additional details on the materials created for this course.

Abstract:
Aviation and air travel have always been among the businesses at the forefront of technological advancement throughout history. Both the International Air Transportation Authority's (IATA) Technology Roadmap (IATA, 2019) and the European Aviation Safety Agency's (EASA) Artificial Intelligence (AI) roadmap (EASA, 2020) propose an outline and assessment of ongoing technological prospects that change the aviation environment with the implementation of AI from the initial phases. New technology increased the operational capabilities of airplanes in adverse weather. An enhanced flight vision system (EFVS) is a piece of aircraft equipment that captures and displays a scene image for the pilot, allowing for improved scene and object detection. Moreover, an EFVS is a device that enhances the pilot's vision to the point where it is superior to natural sight. An EFVS has a display for the pilot, which can be a head-mounted display or a head-up display, and image sensors such as a color camera, infrared camera, or radar. A combined vision system can be made by combining an EFVS with a synthetic vision system. A forward-looking infrared camera, also known as an enhanced vision system (EVS), and a Head-Up Display (HUD) are used to form the EFVS. Two aircraft types can house an EFVS: fixed-wing (airplane) and rotary-wing (helicopter).Several operators argue that the use of Enhanced Flight Vision Systems (EFVS) may be operated without the prior approval of the competent authority, assuming that the flight procedures, equipment, and pilot safety barriers are sufficiently robust. This research aims to test pilots' readiness levels with no or little exposure to EFVS to use such equipment (EASA, 2020). Moreover, the Purdue simulation center aims to validate this hypothesis. The Purdue human systems integration team is developing a test plan that could be easily incorporated into the systems engineering test plan to implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) in aviation training globally and evaluate the results. Based on guidelines from the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the Purdue University School of Aviation and Transportation Technology (SATT) professional flying program recognizes technical and nontechnical competencies. Furthermore, the Purdue Virtual Reality research roadmap is focused on the certification process (FAA, EASA), implementation of an AI training syllabus following a change management approach, and introduction of AI standardization principles in the global AI aviation ecosystem.

Abstract:
The characterisation and insulating efficiencies of sawdust and rice husk in glass shavings reinforced termite clay-based (GSRTC) composite has been compared. Termite clay was unearthed from the Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) campus in Ondo State. It was processed to obtain 150 μm undersize. Glass shavings were processed to obtain 106 μm undersize. The glass shavings were then mixed with the termite clay in a constant weight proportion of 10%. Sawdust and rice husk were processed to obtain 150 μm undersize. The prepared blended GSRTC powder was mixed with the sawdust, and the rice husk in 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 wt.%. The resulting mixtures were compacted into cylindrical-shaped samples. The samples were dried and fired in a furnace at 1000°C for 2 hours. The chemical composition of GSRTC composite constituents was studied prior to the production of the composite. The control sample with only 10 wt.% of glass shaving possessed the highest: compressive strength; linear and volumetric shrinkage; bulk density; and thermal conductivity, while the sample with 10 wt.% of sawdust in GSRTC possessed the lowest: compressive strength (1.62 MPa); linear and volume shrinkage; bulk density (0.68 g/cm3); thermal conductivity (0.23 W/m-K).. Conclusively, the additive proportion and type affect composites' physical properties. An increase in additive proportion is accompanied by an increase in porosity, a reduction in porosity and bulk density. The compressive strength and thermal conductivity decreased with increasing additive content. GSRTC composites with sawdust additive possessed better insulating performance. However, GSRTC composite with rice husk additive displayed higher compressive strength.

Abstract:
Mechanical engineering technology graduates must exhibit a number of skills as industrial practitioners. While certain skills are learned on the job, fundamental knowledge acquired in school coursework actually forms the basis for successful development of that necessary skills set. Within the skill set, one given great emphasis is that of communications. At Purdue University, the emphasis on communications skills crosses many courses but is divided among four veins: 1) written communications dealing with papers, reports, etc.; 2) oral communications dealing with effective presentations and interpersonal relationships; 3) computational communications, mathematical problem-solving, be it via hand, calculator or computer; and 4) graphics communications dealing with 3D modeling and the development and interpretation of specifications documented on engineering drawings. This paper describes a project where a simple mechanical device is used to teach complex topics, bridging multiple communications veins. In this case the project centers on the design and modification of an arbor press, but could be based on any number of devices. The simple arbor press forms the foundation for the development of a complex industry-driven knowledge set. Included are topics common to practitioners employed in design, manufacturing and quality - all of which are typical industrial assignments for MET graduates. The assignment is part of Production Design & Specifications (PD&S), a core course and the second in a two-course CAD-based freshman sequence. Where the first course teaches 3D modeling skills, PD&S concentrates on the cognitive aspects of problem-solving using modeling, calculations and extracted drawings. Students complete the project in three phases over an eight-week period. Each phase is driven by an Engineering Change Order (ECO), a common industrial practice. Contained in the ECOs are both detailed requirements and open-ended requirements. While fulfilling the ECOs, students must make decisions on interconnected requirements that ripple through design, manufacturing, and quality assurance. Requirements include: • Design based on ISO preferred numbers. • Selection of standard parts and stock materials. • Determination of cost/benefit ratios. • Manufacturing tolerances and tolerance stack-ups. • Fits calculations based on ASME B4.2 standards. • Calculation of mass properties. • Use of geometric dimensioning & tolerancing. • Documentation of product lifecycle changes. Together, these and other varied topics, when woven around the simplicity of an arbor press, give students real-world experiences without the process becoming daunting due to the sheer complexity of the mechanism.

Abstract:
The aim of the present work is the application of the case method as teaching-learning methodology for the study of a corrosion problem, in order to obtain more active learning of the student. The educational innovation has been applied in 2018/2019 academic year in the subject of “Manufacturing Processes of Building Materials” imparted in the fourth course of the Chemical Engineering Degree in the Higher Technical School of Industrial Engineering in the Polytechnic University of Valencia. Such educational innovation consists in the description by the lecturer of a real situation about a corrosion problem, so that the students can analyse it and propose solutions individually and in group. At the end of the case it is added questions to help to the students in the analysis. This activity is realized in class, which is evaluated using a rubric. The evaluation of the educational innovation proposed is realized by the scores of the students, the polls of the students, and the autoevaluation of the lecturer. The results show the high scores obtained by the students in the case method and the high grade of satisfaction of the students after applying the educational innovation. The case method permits that the students know real situations that they could find in a professional future, which increase the motivation towards the subject of study.

Abstract:
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) has approximately 500 digital cameras along highways in populated areas of Indiana. These cameras are used to monitor traffic conditions around the clock, all year round. Currently, the videos from these cameras are observed one-by-one by human operators looking for traffic conditions and incidents. The main objective of this research was to develop an automatic, real-time system to monitor traffic conditions and detect incidents automatically. The Transportation and Autonomous Systems Institute (TASI) of the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and the Traffic Management Center of INDOT developed a system that monitors the traffic conditions based on the INDOT CCTV video feeds. The proposed system performs traffic flow estimation, incident detection, and classification of vehicles involved in an incident. The research team designed the system, including the hardware and software components added to the existing INDOT CCTV system; the relationship between the added system and the currently existing INDOT system; the database structure for traffic data extracted from the videos; and a user-friendly, web-based server for showing the incident locations automatically. The specific work in this project includes vehicle-detection, road boundary detection, lane detection, vehicle count over time, flow-rate detection, traffic condition detection, database development, web-based graphical user interface (GUI), and a hardware specification study. The preliminary prototype of some system components has been implemented in the Development of Automated Incident Detection System Using Existing ATMS CCT (SPR-4305).

Abstract:
The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) uses about 600 digital cameras along populated Indiana highways in order to monitor highway traffic conditions. The videos from these cameras are currently observed by human operators looking for traffic conditions and incidents. However, it is time-consuming for the operators to scan through all video data from all the cameras in real-time. The main objective of this research was to develop an automatic and real-time system and implement the system at INDOT to monitor traffic conditions and detect incidents automatically. The Transportation and Autonomous Systems Institute (TASI) of the Purdue School of Engineering and Technology at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and the INDOT Traffic Management Center have worked together to research and develop a system that monitors the traffic conditions based on the INDOT CCTV video feeds. The proposed system performs traffic flow estimation, incident detection, and the classification of vehicles involved in an incident. The goal was to develop a system and prepare for future implementation. The research team designed the new system, in­cluding the hardware and software components, the currently existing INDOT CCTV system, the database structure for traffic data extracted from the videos, and a user-friendly web-based server for identifying individual lanes on the highway and showing vehicle flowrates of each lane automatically. The preliminary prototype of some system components was implemented in the 2018–2019 JTRP projects, which provided the feasibility and structure of the automatic traffic status extraction from the video feeds. The 2019–2021 JTRP project focused on developing and improving many features’ functionality and computation speed to make the program run in real-time. The specific work in this 2021–2022 JTRP project is to improve the system further and implement it on INDOT’s premises. The system has the following features: vehicle-detection, road boundary detection, lane detection, vehicle count and flowrate detection, traffic condition detection, database development, web-based graphical user interface (GUI), and a hardware specification study. The research team has installed the system on one computer in INDOT for daily road traffic monitoring operations.
