Assessing Student Conceptual Understanding : Supplementing Deductive Coding with Natural Language Processing Techniques

Creator:

Arbogast, Christian

Abstract:

Assessing student conceptual understanding is a valuable method for gauging specific student learning outcomes but can be difficult and time consuming to measure. This research investigates the potential of automating some intermediary steps of a qualitative analysis of student conceptual understanding with tools from the field of Natural Language Processing...

Masters Thesis
Multi Objective Aerodynamic Design in Formula SAE

Creator:

Arscott, Phillip J.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the effect of aerodynamics on Formula SAE cars. Due to the different objectives of the Formula SAE events, an understanding of the car's complete aerodynamic design is necessary. Using a half car computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, a series of sensitivity studies are conducted to determine trends...

Radiation Emissions from Turbulent Diffusion Flames Burning Large Hydrocarbon Fuels

Creator:

Zeuthen, Eric D.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to measure and compare radiation emissions from flames burning large hydrocarbon fuels to assist in understanding how the molecular composition changes radiation emissions. Radiative heat transfer is significant because it is a primary mode of heat transfer for many combustion devices. This study also...

Masters Thesis
Applications of an Agent-Based Approach to Automated Structure Design

Creator:

Kiff, Robin E.

Abstract:

This thesis details the applications of a new method of agent-based structure synthesis. The goal of this research is to create structures that meet a structural goal within a simulated physics environment. The method proposed works as an iterative process of changing the structure, evaluating the new structure and using...

Masters Thesis
Lift Enhancement of Pliant Wings Through Bio-Mimicry

Creator:

Osterberg, Nathaniel Brent

Abstract:

Flexible aerodynamic surfaces have been shown to favorably influence flight characteristics at low Reynolds numbers by increasing lift, angle of attack at stall, and resistance to perturbation. The objective of the research presented within this thesis is to investigate the influence of two aspects of flight observed in biological flyers,...

Masters Thesis
Using Automation to Understand Sustainable Design Trade-Offs and to Promote Environmental Sustainability in the Early Design Phase

Creator:

Wisthoff, Addison K.

Abstract:

Sustainable product design is becoming an important component of the development of consumer products. Currently there are limited design resources to aid in the creation of environmentally sustainable products. The purpose of this research is to theorize a new method for integrating sustainable design knowledge into the early design phase...

Masters Thesis
Floating Offshore Wind Array Systems Optimization off the US West Coast using an Extended Pattern Search Algorithm

Creator:

Forinash, Caitlin P.

Abstract:

The large wind resource off the United States West Coast has the potential to generate wind power for millions of homes, yet the high cost of energy for offshore wind power compared to traditional sources has slowed the development of offshore wind farms in the US. The four studies presented...

Masters Thesis
Dividing Complex Parts into Multiple Pieces for Advanced Joining and Additive Manufacturing

Creator:

Massoni, Brandon R.

Abstract:

Poor material utilization is inherent to conventional manufacturing processes, leading to high material waste and machining times. Additive manufacturing processes attempt to solve this issue by allowing production of near-net shapes, but the processes may be too expensive or infeasible. By leveraging both processes in a single part, the waste...

Masters Thesis
Composite Tools and Optimization in Racecars to Reduce Mass and Design Time

Creator:

Wagoner, Marshall

Abstract:

Designing a carbon fiber chassis for the Global Formula Race car has historically proven to be both time intensive and difficult. The goal of this thesis is to improve the design process for testing Global Formula Racing team's composite chassis sandwich panels. Consideration was taken regarding Formula SAE rules, and...

Heat Treatment Effects on the Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of CPM-M4 Tool Steel

Creator:

Fast, Cody P.

Abstract:

Variations in heat treatments have significant effects on the microstructure of tool steels. For CPM-M4 tool steel, the changes in microstructure and mechanical properties were observed based off of variations in temperature. Five heat treatments with constant exposure time and variable austenitizing and tempering temperatures were performed on samples of...
