Functional analysis aims to decompose the main functions of a product, which can be large and complex, into more manageable subfunctions. Recently, interest in explicitly considering users during functional modeling has grown to enhance analysis completeness, but how this addresses some commonly reported challenges for novice engineers is not clear. This research proposes and assesses […]
BIV-01: Team Diversity and Equal Contribution in Engineering Design Projects
Student-centered and project-based collaborative learning strategy is highly emphasized in education, especially in STEM fields. Despite its many advantages in supporting learning and professional growth, negative factors that influence collaboration cannot be ignored. By far one of the most frequently mentioned factors is unequal contribution from teammates, which leads to frustrations in the process and […]
C31: Design of an Adsorption Process to Remove Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA) from Wastewater
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a very common pollutant in chemical industries and consumer products. It is resistant to common wastewater treatment processes due to its strong stability. PFOA is a health hazard as exposure leads to serious health issues that impact humans and the environment. This project had two major components. The first component is […]
