Driving cycle is commonly known as the relationship and a series of speed-time profile. The study on this discipline aids vehicle manufacturers in vehicle construction, environmentalists in studying environment quality in proportion with vehicle emissions and traffic engineers to further investigate the behaviour of drivers and the road conditions which assist automotive industry in a better and energy efficient vehicle productions. In order to develop a proper driving cycle for selected routes, information and data based on real-time driving behaviour is important. This research focusses on the modelling of each component and latter designing a conceptual model in Simulink which takes up the data of speed of vehicles in SI unit which is m/s and draws out distance travelled and acceleration of the vehicle together with driving cycle of the route for given timestamp. This relation will be verified with existing Kuala Terengganu BasKITe driving cycle, highway fuel economy test (HWFET), new europian driving cycle (NEDC) and worldwide harmonised light vehicle test procedure (WLTP) driving cycles for the use of future projects and improvements of technology in studies and analysis of powertrain and electric vehicle performances.

This document summarizes research on optimizing nitrogen species catalyzed (NSC) pressure leaching to treat complex sulfide concentrates. Bench-scale testing was conducted on two composite concentrate samples to evaluate metal recoveries and avoid forming lead-containing residues that are difficult to process. A statistical experimental design was used to optimize leach conditions such as grind time, acid concentration, temperature, and time. The optimized process produced a lead sulfide residue suitable for conventional smelting. Overall, NSC pressure leaching effectively extracted over 90% of silver, zinc, copper, nickel and cobalt into solution while avoiding problematic residues.

This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a new intrusion detection system (IDS) to identify distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks in multitier web applications. The system models relationships between web server requests and database queries to detect attacks where normal traffic is used maliciously. It handles both deterministic and non-deterministic relationships. For static websites, the system classifies traffic into patterns and builds a mapping model. For dynamic websites, it aims to extract one-to-many mappings despite parameter variations and overlapping operations. The paper also discusses SQL tautology attacks, which exploit input fields to bypass authentication or extract all data.

This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a novel approach to improving the k-means clustering algorithm. The standard k-means algorithm is computationally expensive and produces results that depend heavily on the initial centroid selection. The proposed approach determines initial centroids systematically and uses a heuristic to efficiently assign data points to clusters. It improves both the accuracy and efficiency of k-means clustering by ensuring the entire process takes O(n2) time without sacrificing cluster quality.

Engineering-Driven Situational Teaching Study on Electric Control of Mechanic...iosrjce
In order to further improve teaching effect of the course regarding electric control of mechanical
equipments, and strengthen electrical design and PLC control capability about machinery equipments of
students, a situational teaching method under guidance of engineering is presented. The method includes casebased
classroom teaching, field-based course teaching and project-based comprehensive practice. Aiming at the
course knowledge of each chapter, some engineering cases are combined into classroom teaching. Based on
some actual engineering objects, the students can understand electrical systems well through on-site tasks such
as use, dismantling, assembly, connection and commissioning. Based on some training devices, the practical
ability of students can be improved using project tasks. The teaching results show that, for the students who
have no any engineering background, the situational teaching helps them understand, grasp and apply
knowledge well

-------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT--------------------------------------------------This paper examines the extent of exposure of mechanical engineering students in two Kenyan universities and
colleges of technology to engineering computer application programmes. In view of this, a survey study was
adopted, two research questions were raised and a null hypothesis formulated. The population of the study
consisted of 225 final year engineering students from two leading Kenyan universities of technology that offer
mechanical engineering education programme. The findings of the study indicate a relationship between
engineering computer application programmes and engineering education programmes in Kenyan universities.
The study also reveals a significant difference between the exposure of engineering students to engineering
computer application programmes and the expected exposure in Kenyan universities. To address these
deficiencies revealed by the study, the researcher recommended among others the expansion of the curriculum
of engineering education programmes to include courses like introduction to Computer Aided Design using 3-D
modelling software, introduction to programming languages like Matlab or MathCAD and introduction to finite
element modelling packages for numerically solving a wide variety of mechanical engineering problems.

INTRODUCTION
Recent developments in Mechanical Engineering have been paralleled by the development of the
computer as an important adjunct to the modern engineer. The relationship between Mechanical Engineering
practice and computational problem solving techniques already has been considerable, but the full impact of
computers on Mechanical Engineering education is very vast. The rapidly enlarging capabilities of computers
have already enlarged the scope of practical and theoretical problems which confront the Mechanical Engineer.
These capabilities constitute the computer technology with which graduating Mechanical Engineers must be
familiar. What impact does the computer have on the educational process? The effectiveness of engineering
teaching is in part related to the understanding and utilization of principles of learning by the teaching staff.
Curriculum planners must therefore give serious consideration to what, how much, and where instruction in
computational problem solving techniques is to fit into the Mechanical Engineering curriculum [1].
1.1
Statement of Problem
Interactions with the graduates of mechanical engineering education from Kenyan universities and
colleges that offer mechanical engineering programmes reveal that the graduates of mechanical engineering in
this era of advanced computer software technologies are missing out on opportunities to develop soft skills that
will enable them to design and simulate manufacturing processes and operations. This is as a result of their
inadequate exposure to the practical application and use of advanced computer aided engineering technologies
such as computer simulation analysis packages.
1.2
Objectives of the study
The objectives of the study are to:
(i) determine the relevance of computer aided engineering application packages (Matlab, MathCAD, ANSYS,
COMSOL Multiphysics, Moldflow and SolidWorks) for the mechanical engineering education programme in
Kenyan universities and colleges.
(ii) determine the extent to which university mechanical engineering students are exposed to practical
application of Matlab, MathCAD, ANSYS, COMSOL Multiphysics, Moldflow and SolidWorks.

1.3
Research Questions
Based on the above stated specific objectives of the study, the following research questions were
raised:(i) How relevant are computer application packages such as Matlab, MathCAD, ANSYS, COMSOL
Multiphysics, Moldflow and SolidWorks to mechanical engineering students in Kenyan universities and
colleges.
(ii) To what extent are the engineering students in Kenyan universities exposed to Matlab, MathCAD, ANSYS,
COMSOL Multiphysics, Moldflow and SolidWorks?
Null Hypothesis:
There is no significant relationship between mechanical engineering education programme in Kenyan
universities/ colleges and computer aided engineering problem solving techniques.
1.4
Significance of the Study
The findings of this study would be significant to curriculum designers to expand
the
curriculum of mechanical engineering education programme in Kenyan universities and colleges to include the
study of computer aided engineering packages and other related simulation analysis software that are relevant to
mechanical engineering students. The mechanical engineering students too would be adequately exposed to the
practical applications of advanced engineering software for numerically solving a wide variety of mechanical
engineering problems It is understood that this early exposure to computers affords the student a structure for
building their own perception and gaining useful experience in determining those areas in which computers may
have immediate application [2].
II.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The study was conducted using the following research methods:
2.1
Research Design.
The survey research design was adapted for this study since the study required the use of a
questionnaire to collect data from the sampled population.
2.1.1
Population for the Study
The population for the study was 225. This consisted of 225 final year engineering students from the
department of Mechanical engineering. The choice of final year engineering students was based on the
researcher’s assumption that the graduating students were expected to have adequate exposure to computer
aided engineering problem solving techniques.
2.1.2
Sample Size and Sampling Procedure
The sample size of the respondents for questionnaire distribution is computed using the formula as
follows [3]:
n
N
1 N (e) 2
Where:
N
=
Study population
e
=
Marginal error
n

Sample size
Now, computing the sample size at 95% confidence level (i.e. e = 0.05), we have:
n

1 225 (0.05 2 )
n 144
Therefore, 144 questionnaires were administered.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
The number of the questionnaires completed and returned by our respondents totalled 144, which
represents 100% of the total number of questionnaires administered. The questions and responses on them are

RESEARCH QUESTION ONE
How relevant are the computer application packages like Matlab, MathCAD, ANSYS, COMSOL
Multiphysics, Moldflow and SolidWorks to mechanical engineering students in Kenyan
universities?Questionnaire item 1 dealt with the relevance of computer programming and engineering
computational methods in mechanical engineering education programme in Kenyan universities. On the whole,
144 respondents, representing 100% of the total respondents to item 1, affirmed that computer programming and
engineering computational methods are very relevant. Questionnaire item 2 sought to find whether computer
programming and engineering computational methods are not relevant to mechanical engineering education
programme in Kenyan universities. Total agree for questionnaire item 2 representing 16.67% against total
disagree representing 70.83%. The undecided represented 12.5%. Questionnaire item 3 sought to know whether
computer programming and engineering computational methods relevant for teaching of mechanical engineering
education in university. Total agree representing 97.92%, against total disagree, representing 2.08%. This
implies that computer programming and engineering computational methods are relevant to mechanical
engineering education.
www.theijes.com
The IJES
Page 79
4. The Role Of Computer Technology...
Questionnaire item 4 sought to know whether computer programming and engineering computational methods
are taught in the university/college. Total agree stood at 135, representing 93.75%, against 9 for the undecided
representing 6.75%. This implies that computer programming and engineering computational methods is
relevant to mechanical engineering education.
V.
RESEARCH QUESTION TWO
To what extent are the engineering students in Kenyan universities exposed to Matlab, MathCAD,
ANSYS, COMSOL Multiphysics, Moldflow and SolidWorks? Questionnaire item 5 sought to know whether
MathCAD, Matlab, AutoCAD, ANSYS, COMSOL Multiphysics taught in the university/college. On the whole,
total agree scored 135, representing 93.75%, while total disagree scored 6 representing 4.17%. The undecided
represented 2.08%. This implies that the majority of mechanical engineering students in Kenyan universities
know about advanced computational software. It is observed in this item that knowing about the programs’
existence does not mean that the students use these programs for their education and development
[4].Questionnaire item 6 stated that “are Finite Element Modelling and Computational Fluid Dynamics courses
taught in your university”. On the whole, total agree scored 18, representing 12.5%, while total disagree scored
99, representing 68.75% with the undecided representing 18.75%. This implies that mechanical engineering
students in Kenyan universities are not taught Finite Element Modelling and Computational Fluid Dynamics.
Questionnaire item 7 dealt with the issue of students having access to computers for practical training in the
university/college. On the whole, total agree scored 132, representing 91.67%, while total disagree scored 9,
representing 6.75% with the undecided representing 2.08%. Questionnaire item 8 was on whether students had
at least 3 credit hours allocated in the university/college for computer programming and engineering
computational methods. The total score for agree stood at 132, representing 91.67%, while the total score for
disagree stood at 8.83%. This implies that most of the mechanical engineering students have access to the
computers in the department for practical work.Questionnaire item 9 sought to find out whether students
possessed the ability to use computers to solve engineering problems. The total sore for agree stood at 78,
representing 54.17%, while the total score for disagree was 3, representing 2.08%. The undecided made up
43.75% of the total. This implies that there are almost as many student with knowledge of computational
problem solving skills as are those who do not have the knowledge. More effort is required in this regard.
VI.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Based on the findings of this study, the following conclusions are drawn:
Computer aided engineering software application packages like Matlab, MathCAD, ANSYS, COMSOL
Multiphysics, Moldflow and SolidWorks are relevant to mechanical engineering education programme in
Kenyan universities and colleges
There was significant difference between the exposure and application of mechanical engineering students
to computer aided engineering software application packages and the expected exposure of mechanical
engineering students in Kenyan universities. 68.75% of the students were not adequately exposed to the
practical application of computer application packages such as Matlab, MathCAD, ANSYS, COMSOL
Multiphysics, Moldflow and SolidWorks®. The consequence of this is that the university mechanical
engineering graduates do not possess the ability to use computers to solve engineering problems.
To address the problem of non-exposure of mechanical engineering students to computer aided
engineering software and application packages, it is recommended that the Curriculum Experts should expand
the curriculum of mechanical engineering education programme in Kenyan universities and colleges to include
the following suggested courses:Introduction to Finite Element Modelling using CAE software
Students should be introduced to the fundamentals of finite element modelling using software like
ANSYS and SolidWorks®. This will enable them gain a working knowledge of computer modelling, design and
problem solving of complex challenges which are beyond the analytical theories taught. Two lecture hours per
week and two hours of laboratory per week is suggested for this course.
Introduction to 3-D Computer Aided Design using SolidWorks®.
Students should be introduced to 3–D computer aided design to allow students to develop soft skills
that will enable them to design parts, assemblies and drawings on the computer. This will greatly improve their
product design skills allowing them to make as much iteration as necessary in order to get their design right first
time. Two lecture hours and two laboratory hours per week are suggested for this course.
