The efficiency of the heave compensation system was computed using simulation techniques and virtually confirmed before being applied to drilling operations. The heave compensation system was installed on a semi-submersible and comprises several interconnected bodies with various joints. Therefore, a dynamics kernel based on multibody dynamics was developed to perform dynamic response analysis. The recursive Newton–Euler formulation was adopted to construct the equations of motion for the multibody system. Functions of the developed dynamics kernel were verified by comparing them with those from other studies. Hydrostatic force, linearized hydrodynamic force, and pneumatic and hydraulic control forces were considered the external forces acting on the platform of the semi-submersible rig and the heave compensation system. The dynamic simu...

A sample of seventeen engineering students' Junior Writing Portfolios, containing FYC research papers and engineering lab reports, was chosen for analysis in five broad rhetorical categories including invention, disciplinary knowledge, audience awareness, arrangement, and style. Informed by Yancey, Roberston, and Taczack's 2014 study of writing transfer in composition courses, we grouped 17 engineering writing samples into three types of prior knowledge as identified in their study: remix, assemblage, and critical incidents. We found that the remix group students (n = 9) demonstrated an ability to integrate new engineering disciplinary knowledge into the schema of the old FYC knowledge. We observed a mixture of productive and unproductive transfer from FYC courses to engineering major courses with the assemblage group (n = 3). The critical incident students (n=5) struggled with multiple aspects of rhetorical principles, and they received the lowest scores in audience awareness and arrangement. Results from an accompanying focus group comprised of engineering students reported their perceptions of the similarities and distinctions between FYC assignments and engineering lab reports. These combined results suggest that students developed an understanding that genre features are genre specific and informed by disciplinary contexts.

This field is unlike many other businesses in the US manufacturing industry where downsizing is common in a slow economy. According to the US Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics, a 21 % employment growth can be expected for the biomedical engineers over the next decade. Only a few manufacturing programs offer biomedical engineering related courses. This paper describes the definition and characteristics of biomedical manufacturing. Topics (biomedical device manufacturing, biomedical product manufacturing, and surgical tool manufacturing) in biomedical manufacturing are also discussed. A survey of existing biomedical manufacturing related courses in the manufacturing engineering programs will be presented. The contents of these courses often contain an overview of anatomy, physiology, tissue and biomaterials, US FDA's good manufacturing practice, and medical device manufacturing.

In the MfgE Program, a two credit course named "Advanced Manufacturing Processes Lab" allows the students to integrate course materials from the entire MfgE curriculum into openended, student-designed and fabricated projects. The MfgE program assisted the CDP to fabricate a "learning center" or station that encourages children to work in a variety of ways with water. This station would allow children to investigate ways to make water move and to observe and study the ways that water moves naturally. The students in the Advanced Manufacturing Processes Lab course worked closely with faculty and staff in the CDP to design and fabricate the stations. This paper presents details of organizing and managing such a collaborative activity between two different programs. Overall student experience and lessons learned in organizing such a project are also discussed.

Accordingly, shipbuilders need to estimate the required amount of anti-corrosive coatings and painting resources for inventory and cost control. This study aims to develop a software system which enables the shipbuilders to estimate paint area using existing 3D CAD ship structural models. The geometric information of the ships structure are extracted from the existing shipbuilding CAD/CAM system and used to create painting zones. After specifying the painting zones, users can generate the paint faces by clipping structural parts inside each zone. Finally, the paint resources may be obtained from the product of the paint areas and required paint thickness. Implementing the developed software system to real shipbuilders' operations has contributed to improved productivity, faster resource estimation, better accuracy, and fewer coating defects over their conventional manual calculation methods for painting resource estimation.

Due to the unreliable durability of spot-welded joints, applications of Al RSW are limited. This study presents experimental investigation on the use of a post-weld cold working process to improve the fatigue strength of Al RSW. The post-weld cold working process includes special shaped indenters that are pressed or driven into the structure to induce compressive residual stresses. The mechanical properties of the post-weld cold worked Al RSW were investigated, including the experimental results of fatigue and micro-hardness tests. Comparisons of the mechanical properties and qualitative results between the as-welded RSW specimens and the post-weld cold worked RSW specimens are discussed. The post-weld cold worked Al RSW samples had an increase in both microhardness and fatigue life.
