The national Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) Exam is a critical assessment measure used by some ABET-accredited Mechanical Engineering programs to evaluate quality of their programs and report to ABET. Fluid power transmission and control is one key subject area covered in the FE exam. Before 2012, there was no course in the Mechanical Engineering (ME) curriculum to address this at South Dakota State University (SDSU). This had a direct impact on the metrics used for program evaluation. An instructional project was carried out to meet this need. This paper presents design and implementation of the instructional project. The project includes development of a new hydraulic power control course and establishment of new hydraulic power control lab. The authors intend to share experiences, myths, and lessons learned during this project. The paper also presents the steps taken by the authors to accomplish this instructional project from start to the final course delivery. It includes students’ learning experiences, pedagogical concepts, development of lab assignments, difficulties faced and how they were handled, software used, and existing issues for future work.

Fuel cell vehicle powertrain is a complex electromechanical system related to electrochemistry, power electronics, power transmission and control systems, network and communications and other disciplines. Therefore, this article has clearly made the concept of fault and fault diagnosis, and conducted the preliminary study of the method of fault diagnosis for the fuel cell vehicle battery, and will adopt the model-based fault diagnosis method to achieve battery fault diagnosis.

HYDRAULIC POWER and control is being applied more and more widely in industry and is finding both general and specialised uses. Generally, hydraulics could be just another item in the designer's toolchest—another way of applying power and of exercising control. In the specialist fields hydraulics is being used as the force transmitting element in complex closed loop control systems and where the very nature of a fluid medium is to be used with advantage.
