game of Rubik&#8217;s race autonomously.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">The Rubik\u2019s race game begins with shaking the scrambler, the box contains nine cubes with different colors on each side, as shown in the top of Figure. 1. As a result, a random 3 by 3 color pattern is generated. Note: If more than 4 squares of the same color appear in the scrambler, just shake it again to create a new pattern. Player A and Player B then slide the color tiles in their own tray and race until the nine in the center of their trays match those in the scrambler. Each tray contains 24 tiles (4 of each color) and an empty space arranged in a 5-row, 5-column pattern.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><\/div><div style=\"text-align:center;\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-8 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"499\" alt=\"picture of the Rubik&#039;s race game\" title=\"Rubiks Race Rule2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/100\/Rubiks_Race_Rule2-600x499.jpg\" class=\"img-responsive wp-image-2051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/100\/Rubiks_Race_Rule2-200x166.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/100\/Rubiks_Race_Rule2-400x332.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/100\/Rubiks_Race_Rule2-600x499.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/100\/Rubiks_Race_Rule2-800x665.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/100\/Rubiks_Race_Rule2.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/span><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-7\"><p style=\"text-align: center\"><b>Figure 1.<\/b> The Rubik&#8217;s Race Game (top view)<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-8\"><p style=\"font-size: 18px\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">The following video demonstrated the results:<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-video fusion-youtube\" style=\"max-width:960px;max-height:540px;align-self:center; width:100%\"><div class=\"video-shortcode\"><iframe title=\"YouTube video player 1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PmKl1I5I4tM?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-9\"><p style=\"font-size: 18px\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">A conference paper summarizes some research results is published as:<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 18px\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">S.

Students learn to grasp the global consequences of engineering endeavors and the challenges of today\u2019s ever-changing technological climate. Our department\u2019s goal is to produce industrial, scientific, and technological leaders who can identify technical problems and shape solutions that help society. Upon completing a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (B.S.M.E.) program, our students are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to either take on the challenges of the modern-day engineering field or to continue their education at the graduate-school level. Many of our mechanical engineering graduates have seen tremendous career success.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-7{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;}.fusion-builder-column-7 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-7{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-7 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-7{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-7 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-8{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1932,"featured_media":0,"parent":1620,"menu_order":4,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"side-navigation.php","meta":{"_expiration-date-status":"","_expiration-date":0,"_expiration-date-type":"","_expiration-date-categories":[],"_expiration-date-options":[],"footnotes":""},"yst_prominent_words":[61,67,66,139,202],"class_list":["post-1837","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1837","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1932"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1837"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1837\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1837"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=1837"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}},{"id":1774,"date":"2021-04-12T19:49:54","date_gmt":"2021-04-13T00:49:54","guid":{"rendered":"http:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/?page_id=1774"},"modified":"2026-01-27T16:04:49","modified_gmt":"2026-01-27T22:04:49","slug":"welcome-to-the-department-of-mechanical-engineering-test","status":"publish","type":"page","link":"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/welcome-to-the-department-of-mechanical-engineering-test\/","title":{"rendered":"About Us"},"content":{"rendered":"<div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-9 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-8 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-20\"><div id=\"attachment_1389\" style=\"width: 185px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/100\/Rambod_Rayegan.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1389\" class=\"wp-image-1389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pvamu.edu\/me\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/100\/Rambod_Rayegan.jpg\" alt=\"Rambod Rayegan, Ph.

Not only do our faculty work with students to advance their technical knowledge, but they also train students in the areas of critical thinking, ethical behavior and professional responsibility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 27px\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">In addition to benefitting from learning opportunities in the classroom and laboratory, many of our students, both graduate and undergraduate, are able to participate in faculty-led research. Ongoing research projects in the Department of Mechanical Engineering cover a range of fields, including advanced manufacturing, computer aided engineering design, dynamics, control, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, materials processing and the development of mechanical devices that have medical applications. Our research efforts also include work funded by a recent $3 million grant from NASA to investigate high-pressure combustion in an environment of microgravity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;line-height: 27px\" data-fusion-font=\"true\">Thank you for your interest in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Prairie View A&amp;M University.
