body. Over thepast twenty years or so, we have tried in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MichiganState University (MSU) to delve into areas that are normally not on the radar of the mechanicalengineering student. Those areas are “extras” in the teaching of students and if we take the timeto question our students on what they have been asked to do outside of the technical pursuits, Ibelieve that we will find that their perceptions of life in the real world will far exceed fluids andcontrols. The purpose of this paper is to look at all the things that have been experimented withover the years at MSU and in future papers prepare documentation that reflects the reactions ofthe students to these “extras.”Within this paper will be a

. As this is a work in progress, future consideration willinclude CAD drawing, prototyping, and testing. The authors will discuss how the researchproject focused on each component of experiential learning: 1) experiencing, 2) reflection and 3)application. This work will also discuss the preliminary findings of a questionnaire used to guidethe student’s direction during the initial portion of the application phase.IntroductionInnovating new energy harvesting techniques that do not rely on fossil fuels is a critical steptowards expanding sustainable infrastructure and fighting the effects of climate change. The YaleProgram for Climate Change Communication (YPCCC) conducted a survey with Climate Nexusand the George Mason University Center for

with a range of strategies,student-centeredness, collaboration, flexible thinking, scaffolding, lifelong learning, andcommunication [11]. The project aligns with moving beyond lower-level assessments to favorhigher order outcomes that reflect knowledge creation and real-world performance expectations[12]. The current HVAC project requires students to complement the in class learning andactivities with independent project work, in which they research relevant procedures and designand implement a solution. Second, it represents a culminating experience that requires thestudents to apply their content knowledge from various courses like Technical Drawing,Technical Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer, and Fluids Mechanics. Finally, the HVACindustry

replaced with aproject-assigned ID number to maintain privacy and to mask group membership from raters. Allstudents’ solutions were scored using the PROCESS rubric after the semester. Thus, PROCESSscores did not reflect or influence students’ course grades.In the present analysis, four different raters used the PROCESS tool to assess problem solving toeliminate possible rater bias. Raters’ assessments were analyzed to determine how consistently 3raters measured problem-solving ability. Traditional statistical (intraclass correlation coefficient,ICC) and item response measures (rater severity from the Rasch many facets model) of inter-raterreliability were computed for the four raters, as previously

break immediately and will take many hours of work tokeep working every school year.The capstone team and Ohio Northern University are concerned with all of the different metrics,as their reputations are on the line if the project fails to meet expectations. Especially importantare the security concerns, as a breach of security/privacy would reflect poorly on the groups, andan especially egregious breach could have more tangible consequences.3. Existing Hallpass System OptionsThere are a few competing products on the market that could be used as a substitute for theproject. The largest competition is the hallpass monitoring system that is already in place. Theother competition to the project is digital forms of hallpass monitoring that is done
