Big Data Analysis And Programming For Engineers, Josh Steimel

Pacific Open Texts

This text serves to cover critical programming, data analysis, statistical analysis, and mathematical skills for engineers. In particular fundamental programming skills are demonstrated using Mathematica specifically the importing of data sets, loop structures, plotting and statistically analyzing data, image analysis, and machine learning. Critical engineering topics such as solid mechanics, vibrations, and engineering problems which require solving ODEs and PDEs are covered.

Polymers And Composite Materials, Joshua P. Steimel

Pacific Open Texts

This text serves to cover in more detail polymer physics concepts and specifically how polymers respond from the atomistic to meter length scale. This text spans topics from polymerization chemistry, chain models, Flory-Huggins theory, viscosity, characterization techniques, self assembly, polymer dynamics, viscoelasticity, and mechanics of polymer and composite materials.

Mechanical Behavior Of Materials, Joshua P. Steimel

Pacific Open Texts

This text serves to cover in more detail solid mechanics concepts and specifically the material response to stress and strain. This text spans solid mechanics concepts from stress and strain at an atomistic length scale, to linear elasticity, anisotropy, linear viscoelasticity, plasticity, dislocation generation and interactions, and fracture.

Introduction To Mechatronics, Chi-Wook Lee

Pacific Open Texts

This text serves to introduce Mechatronics with Propeller Board of Education (BOE) and Propeller Activity Board as microcontrollers. These boards will be used to design and test systems with sensors, actuators, and C programming.

Instrumentation And Experimentation, Josh Steimel

Pacific Open Texts

This text serves to provide an overview of Statistical Analysis of Error, Fourier Analysis, and Mechanics of Materials as well as Design of Experiments.

Created for the ENGR110 course at University of the Pacific.

Materials Science And Engineering, Joshua P. Steimel

Pacific Open Texts

This text serves to provide a brief overview of some of the myriad of topics available for study in the field of Materials Science. This is by no means a comprehensive compilation of Materials Science and Engineering topics but is instead meant as an introduction to the topic for entry-level undergraduates who want to pursue a career studying materials.

Ecpe 121 - Simulink Labs, Cherian Mathews

Pacific Open Texts

Four laboratory exercises with detailed instructions were developed during Summer 2018 and used in ECPE 121 during the Fall 2018 semester to enhance student learning of the software tool, Simulink. In addition, a video introduction to Simulink was also created and can be viewed by clicking here.

Use of the simulation tool Simulink helps students explore a complex subject via computer simulation. Simulation complements the theory and can help students gain a deeper understanding of the concepts. The Simulink tutorial and lab resources were available for students to refer to at any time. Working through the lab exercises helped …
