 Conclusions

 

VI. Example Problems

One of the ways to describe the impact of using the conservation and accounting framework in teaching engineering science is to describe problems that students work in the new curricula and illustrate differences in the way students approach these problems.

Example 1: Water Hammer

Example 2: Jumping a Spark

Example 3: Analysis of Thermocouple

Vibration Analysis of a Car
