Derivation Of The Sliding Catenary Curve Via Calculus Of Variations, Ethan Shade

Electronic Proceedings of Undergraduate Mathematics Day

Using the calculus of variations this paper derives the general equation for the "sliding catenary curve" — a hanging chain with terminal links free to slide along two poles, one tilted and one vertical. By applying physical assumptions along with the Euler-Lagrange equation, the Beltrami identity, the Legendre-Clebsch condition, the transversality condition, Lagrange multipliers, and the isoperimetric constraint, we derive the general equation for the sliding catenary curve through a functional that measures the potential energy of the hanging chain. This general equation is then compared to a real-life construction of a sliding catenary curve. Additionally the paper explores a …

Assessing Global Engagement Interventions To Advance Global Engineering Competence For Engineering Formation, Scott Schneider, Erick S. Vasquez-Guardado, Corinne Mowrey, Michael Moulton, Homero Murzi, Matthew A. Witenstein

Chemical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications

This paper summarizes the work performed during the first year of a collaborative Research Initiation in Engineering Formation (RIEF) project focused on assessing the formation of a global learner mindset in engineering students through the use of different types of global engagement interventions without extended international travel. During this year the global engagement interventions have been developed, piloted, and assessed using the Global Engagement Survey (GES) and Global Engineering Competency Scale (GECS) instruments in a pre and post format. The assessment results helped the research team update the interventions and refine the assessment strategy, including the addition of new qualitative …

Work In Progress: Exploring The Impact Of International Experiences On The Development Of Students’ Entrepreneurial Mindset, Olgha Bassam Qaqish, Marcia Poole, William Pennock, Erick S. Vasquez-Guardado, Fahmidah Ummul Ashraf

Chemical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications

International experiences, including collaborative online international learning (COIL) experiences that naturally increase accessibility, are of interest to many undergraduate students. These experiences provide educators a unique opportunity to develop a student's entrepreneurial mindset (EM). Additionally, hands-on experiences aligned with the National Academy of Engineering’s (NAE) grand challenge themes (Sustainability, Security, Health, and Joy of Living) support connections between the experience, disciplinary knowledge, multicultural awareness, and EM. Through this Work-in-Progress (WiP) study, we seek to answer: 1) How do international experiences influence undergraduate science and engineering students’ EM, and 2) How does the international experience modality (i.e., study abroad or COIL) …

Enhancing Entrepreneurial Minded Learning Of Process Control And Heat Transfer Concepts Using Micromoments And Concept Maps, Erick S. Vasquez-Guardado, Ricardo Gomez Gonzalez, Jean M. Andino, Nilza D. Aples, Xiaojing Yuan

Chemical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications

The Entrepreneurially Minded Learning (EML) Framework seeks to infuse an Entrepreneurial Mindset in engineering students. The EML framework is founded on the 3 C’s principles of curiosity, connections, and creating value. Assessing EML efforts, however, is a well-known challenge for many engineering courses that do not have a design component. Through concept maps and micromoment activities, this work seeks to answer the following questions: Does implementing micromoment activities enhance students’ EML in two core areas of chemical engineering, i.e., heat transfer and process controls? A secondary research question is whether introducing a physical device in lectures enhances students’ EML. The …

Using Micromoments And Concept Maps To Enhance Entrepreneurially Minded Learning Of Indoor Air Pollution Control, Jean M. Andino, Erick Salvador Vasquez-Guardado, Ricardo Gomez Gonzalez, Xiaojing Yuan, Nilza D. Aples

Chemical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications

Micromoments targeted toward indoor air quality were introduced to students in an Air Quality Engineering course to enhance their entrepreneurial mindset. Three micromoment activities, i.e., “Question Frenzy”, “Make It Relevant”, and “How Do We Make It Better?” that are linked, respectively, to the curiosity, connections, and creating value elements of EM were deployed in the class in the context of the use of a Corsi Rosenthal cube (a do-it-yourself structure that has recently become popular as an inexpensive way to reduce indoor particle pollution). Students generated concept maps pre-and post- micromoment intervention using the freely available CMap Tools software. The …
