Evaluating the Effect of Emotions on Student Learning using Prescriptive and Open-ended Lab Activities for a Lean Manufacturing Engineering Course

Creator:

Perez, Maritza

Abstract:

Research has shown that emotional connections during lab activities increase learning in chemistry and physics courses. However, little research has examined the effects of emotion in engineering courses, and these studies have recognized a dearth of research examining the ability of students to apply engineering concepts in real-world applications based...

Modeling hop kilning with respect to energy consumption and drying kinetics

Creator:

Thomas, Matthew W.

Abstract:

Currently, little work has been performed studying energy consumption in hop kilning. This thesis explores drying with an alternative drying schedule that extends the initially elevated drying temperature currently used by growers and examines its impact on drying time and energy use. Extending the time of the initially elevated drying...

Masters Thesis
Enabling Feasibility Assessment of Solar Thermal Energy Systems for Industrial Process Heating Applications

Creator:

Karki, Saroj

Abstract:

Existing studies on industrial heat demand have shown that more than 50% of the industrial process heat demand is in the range of low (<60 °C), medium (60-150 °C), and medium-high (<250 °C) temperatures. Most of the manufacturing industries across the world depend on combustion of carbon-based fossil fuels, either...

Masters Thesis
Assisting Sustainability Analysis of Forest Bioenergy Supply Chains using Mathematical Optimization

Creator:

Sadeghi, Javad

Abstract:

Changes in the global climate and forest management practices have given rise to increasing numbers and severity of wildfires. More than five million acres burned in the United States in 2017, while in Canada 7.4 million acres burned. In particular, an increasing amount of dead woody biomass is a key...

Masters Thesis
Integration of Systems Thinking, Viable System Model, and System Dynamics toward Systemic Sustainability Assessment Methodology

Creator:

Tong, Anh B.

Abstract:

The developmental milestones of Sustainability are consistent with the post-normal versus traditional science, where transdisciplinary and policy/action research are among the important approaches to be added to traditional analysis. This shift requires a new perspective to look at the problem at hand: we are no longer considering a group of...

Masters Thesis
An information modeling framework and desktop application to compose unit manufacturing process models for sustainable manufacturing assessment

Creator:

Smullin, Matteo M.

Abstract:

The demand from consumers for more sustainable products, and the need to comply with government regulations motivates manufacturers to evaluate their operations for opportunities to reduce environmental impact and improve economic competitiveness. Manufacturers have actively improved the sustainability performance of their products through the use of sustainability assessment methods and...

Characterization of Two Novel Machining Processes for Difficult to Machine Materials

Creator:

Doran, Michael P.

Abstract:

New materials with superior mechanical properties, such as increased strength and hardness, have been developed to allow for new and improved products. However, the mechanical properties that make these materials useful also makes them difficult to process using conventional methods. New machining processes need to be developed to generate products...

A Techno-Economic Assessment Methodology for Advanced Additive and Joining Processes

Creator:

Malshe, Harsha A.

Abstract:

Integrated manufacturing systems, a combination of subtractive, additive, and joining processes, provide a competitive advantage for manufacturing organizations. As product designs become more complex and capital more scarce, an ideal combination of advanced manufacturing technologies (e.g., powder bed fusion or friction welding), in tandem with traditional subtractive manufacturing systems, can...
