Problem solving and idea generation. These designs should pass the “conceptual test”, i.e., after seeing the drawings, the reader can agree prototypes based on these designs will possibly work. A good design should be able to solve at least one anticipated problem.
1.- Develop a method to save energy by
reducing or eliminating traffic congestion, be specific and include all
details. A diagram is required.
2.- Global economy is a fact, it is expected
that the volume of freight to be moved from countries to countries, continents
to continents will increased drastically in the near future. Design a method to
get freights to their destinations more quickly. This will also reduce
environmental and other problems. Explain and include a diagram.
Estimation: you can only research for ‘obvious data’ such as the air density, and
the number of students in each sections of the freshman English class at UMB.
Then show calculations leading to your estimates. These calculations are worth
at least 75% of credits.
3.- Estimate the total mass of air that
passes through your lungs each day
4.- Estimate the number of books checked out
of Healey Library each week
LABVIEW: Consult your LabView manual when necessary.
5.- Create a VI that solve the circuit
shown. Inputs: V (
All needed formulas: I=V/(R1+R2) ; V2=I*R2 (or V2=V-I*R1). Set V=9V; R1=2
Ohm; R2= 2 Ohm. Run VI. No credit will be awarded without numerical
results shown in Front Panel. Include your name and date in a text box in
the Front Panel and Block Diagram, and paste a copy of both into your Word file
(large pictures will increase file size, so use a moderate size).

6.- Create a VI that solve the circuit
shown. Inputs: V (
All needed formulas: I=V/(R1*R2/(R1+R2)) ; I2=V/R2. Set V=9V; R1=2 Ohm; R2= 2 Ohm.
Run VI. No credit will be awarded without numerical results shown in Front
Panel. Include your name and date in a text box in the Front Panel and
Block Diagram, and paste a copy of both into your Word file (large pictures
will increase file size, so use a moderate size).
