... Cycloidal mechanical drives are widely used in today's industries because of their compact size, high efficiency, minimal noise and high transmission ratio in a single stage [17]; their cycloidal shape decreases the rotating shaft speeds and increases the output torque. Cycloidal gears play an important role in Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems [18]. Cycloidal gears are extensively used in watches, clocks, and certain instruments in cases where the question of interference and strength is a prime consideration. ...

... Mechanics courses in engineering technology programs are one area where graphical solutions are required to obtain the correct solution for some problem types. Graphical solutions in mechanics courses include free-body diagrams [18], [19], shear and moment diagrams [20], [21], and vector addition [22]. Textbook publishers are working on filling this void of providing immediate graphical solutions feedback by including companion textbook material. ...

... Since the entire pedagogical premise of the capstone experience revolves around engineering design projects, and great effort goes into mimicking as much as possible the conditions encountered by engineers in industry, the quality of industrially-sponsored projects is paramount 5 . Very significant effort goes during the summer prior to the beginning of classes to "harvest" enough quality projects from industry to staff enough design teams including the entire graduating class. ...
