Interpreting Tractor Engine Performance DataPublished by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, St. Joseph, Michigan www.asabe.org Citation: Journal of the ASABE. (in press). (doi: 10.13031/ja.15417) @2023Authors: Matthew Francis Digman, Kevin J. Shinners, Jeff W. Nelson Keywords: Engine performance, CAN bus, off-road vehicles, diesel engine Highlights The students collected data from multiple sources, including dynamometer readout, thermocouples, and data from the tractor‘s controller area network. Students compared to collected data to alternative sources, performed engineering calculations based on assumptions, and presented their data. Student feedback for the laboratory was positive. Abstract. The instructional case study presented here is a laboratory experience from the Engineering Principles of Off-Road Vehicles course offered in the Biological Systems Engineering Department at UW-Madison. The students collect data from multiple sources and are required to interpret the data using engineering assumptions and calculations and compare their results to the data presented by the Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory. The laboratory is scaffolded by a series of prompts that aim to connect their interpretation of the data to the concepts presented in the lecture. (Download PDF) (Export to EndNotes)
