II.Instruction

A.Teaching Summary

I believe that the primary goal of engineering education is to provide students an understanding of the basic engineering concepts and principals while encouraging students to develop the tools and skills necessary for a lifetime of learning. In order to meet this objective it is necessary to employ a variety of teaching techniques. I have explored a variety of teaching approaches including “learning by discovery”, collaborative activities and peer-learning methods in addition to the traditional lecture approach. I primarily use the lecture approach in thermodynamics, heat transfer, machine design and manufacturing and dynamics courses. The traditional approach is an effective teaching method particularly for larger class sizes due to its efficiency in conveying information. But, I also believe that the lecture approach is not the best method to foster creativity, self-actuated learning and an aptitude for lifelong learning. In lecture format courses, I try to encourage active participation and discussion in the classroom as much as possible. I am also a strong supporter of semester projects and homework assignments drawn from ongoing research projects.

From2007-2011, I taught a capstone engineering design course centered on the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Vehicle Technology Competition (AVTC) series. This course and competition focused on hybrid electric vehicles and incorporated topics such as model-based simulation and design, software-in-the-loop simulation, hardware-in-the-loop simulation, culminating in hands-on fabrication, assembly and testing of a hybrid-electric vehicle. This was the most challenging teaching assignment that I have encountered in my career. In this course my role and the instructor was to guide the students through the design process allowing them freedom to make decisions about the design and to assume authority and accountability for the decision that they make. The DOE AVTC series is the most sophisticated and challenging automotive capstone design competition. The project exposed students to highly sophisticated current day vehicle propulsion and control systems and had a very aggressive 3-year timeline. In 2013, I lead the successful effort to develop a proposal for the EcoCAR 3 Advanced Vehicle Technology Competition working with Dr. Andrew Nix and Dr. Yaser Fallah. The EcoCAR 3 competition kicked off in the August of 2014 and will extend through June 2018.

I am currently teaching the capstone design courses centered on the Formula SAE Collegiate Design Competition. The Formula SAE Series competitions challenge teams of university students to conceive, design and fabricate a small Formula-style autocross race car.The concept behind the competition is that a fictional manufacturing company has contracted a design team to develop a small Formula 1 style race car targeted at the non-professional weekend autocross racing market. The car must have very high performance in terms of acceleration, braking and handling and it must be reliable, easy to maintain and low in cost. Marketability should also be enhanced by aesthetics, comfort and use of commonly available parts. The team spends eight to twelve months designing, building, testing and fine tuning their race car before competing against teams from 120 colleges and universities in a competition where students have the opportunity to showcase their creativity, engineering and design skills and evaluate their race car against entries from other universities around the world.

These real world automotive design courses encompassconceptual design, finite-element analysis, mechanical component design, electrical system design, control system design and systems safety engineering. Due to the breadth of topics, the studentsare forced to embrace the concept of life-long learning and must take the initiative to research topics that they need to know, learn how to use software packages such as Matlab, Simulink, computer-aided design and finite-element analysis, and hybrid propulsion simulation software by working through the vendor provided tutorials. The students also were required to develop a team organizational structure and manage deadline and deliverable schedules.

MAE 493HHybrid Electric Vehicle Propulsion

This is a new course that I developed to support WVU’s participation in the EcoCAR 3 Advanced Vehicle Technology Competition. This technical elective course introduces students to the use of Model-Based Design of hybrid-electric vehicle propulsion and control systems. Model-based design is a mathematical and visual method of designing complex control, signal processing and communication systems. Model-based design is manifested in four steps: 1) modeling a plant, 2) analyzing and synthesizing a controller for the plant, 3) simulating the plant and controller and 4) integrating all of these phases by deploying the controller. The course introduces the basic architectures and components of hybrid-electric vehicle powertrains, teaches students to develop mathematical models of the powertrain components and control system in Matlab Simulink, and demonstrates the use of Model-in-the-Loop simulation to analyze, design and evaluate hybrid electric vehicle architectures, propulsion system components and control strategies.
