Big Data Analysis And Programming For Engineers, Josh Steimel May 2023

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.

Ecpe 121 - Simulink Labs, Cherian Mathews Nov 2018

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 …

Wood Delights, Said Shakerin Nov 2017

Wood Delights, Said Shakerin

SOECS Exhibitions

I am an outsider to the world of crafts as I used to be an engineering educator before I was struck by a neuro-degenerative disease, but have always been interested in making things with my hands. I slowly make decorative objects from discarded or partially decayed wood. The process of creating something beautiful, especially from discarded materials, to share with others is truly therapeutic for me. A brief overview of my work follows.

The woods come from a variety of sources such as coastal driftwoods, trimmings from fruit trees in our backyard, fallen branches in our neighborhood during storms, old …

Fluid Inspired Art, Said Shakerin Apr 2014

Fluid Inspired Art, Said Shakerin

SOECS Exhibitions

The goal of the project was to develop an interactive display to demonstrate the inherent beauty and complexity of fluid flows as a tool for informal science education for the campus community and its visitors. The project was successfully completed with the installation of our display at the main Library.


Fluid Motion ‐ Exhibit, Library, Said Shakerin Oct 2013

Fluid Motion ‐ Exhibit, Library, Said Shakerin

SOECS Exhibitions

This report provides complete documentation of activities leading to Fluid Motion, an exhibit held in Pacific’s Library, and Art with Fluid Mechanics, a related presentation given to Armchair Traveler Program at Delta College.

Exhibit: Fluid Motion, July 15‐October 15, 2013

Presentation: Art with Fluid Mechanics, October 15, 2013

About 40 still images displaying beauty and complexity of fluid motion were obtained, with permission, from scientists and artists from several countries for the exhibit and presentation. Due to space limitation, only sixteen images were shown in the Exhibit plus a scan of a page from Aramco World magazine (sand dune) and …


Bubbles, Drops, And Streams: A Flow Visualization Cell, Said Shakerin Apr 2012

Bubbles, Drops, And Streams: A Flow Visualization Cell, Said Shakerin

SOECS Exhibitions

The goal of this activity was to develop an interactive flow visualization cell to demonstrate dynamic interaction between two fluids, olive oil and air, each occupying one half of the cell. The goal was met and a museum quality unit was created as shown in Figure 1 (download document to view). Thanks to Dean Brigid Welch’s support, the unit is installed at the University Library next to the Information Commons for the campus community to enjoy the inherent beauty and appreciate complexity of fluid flow.
