Paper ID #34971Enhancing the Learning Experience of Engineering Students ThroughDigitized Interactive ToolsKeith S. Pate, Purdue University, West Lafayette Keith Pate joined Purdue University as a Master’s student at the School of Engineering Technology in January 2021. Keith received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering degree from the University of Southern Indiana in 2018. His research focus is currently in fluid power and mechatronics. Prior to his Masters Studies, Keith was as a Test Engineer and Supplier Quality Engineer at Allison Transmission between Jan, 2019 – Jan, 2021. The primary focus of Keith’s research is
recruitment and retention ofstudents to the Engineering Technology (ET) programs within the College of EngineeringTechnology (CET) at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). This project is funded by aNational Science Foundation Scholarships in Science Technology & Math (S-STEM; NSFAward No. 1930313) awarded in 2020. The SD-COMETS program is a comprehensive programaimed at increasing enrollment of economically disadvantaged, academically talented students inET academic programs at RIT, with targeted recruitment of underrepresented groups. The projectis designed to increase first and second year persistence, known to be the critical years for degreecompletion. Using a research based approach, factors in the engineering education
ground effect 3D printed structure, showed 37%increase in the downforce and 26% reduction in the drag force. The capstone was done over 1-semester and was assessed based on progress reports submitted on bi-weekly basis, presentationby the end of the project, final report, and team work participation. Using these assessment tools,many of the ABET outcomes were met as will be shown in the paper.IntroductionAerodynamics and flow around car profile are significantly important for F1 design teams. Thefirst designs in the 1950’s were relatively sleek, despite having to compensate for the enormousengines mounted in front of the driver. Down force was a little known concept at that time, so theteams tried to rely on eliminating drag to achieve higher
survey. Most of them are from Texas. Our next study willcertainly sample a large number of participants that better represent the population of the USA inthe warehousing and industrial distribution industry. For example, we could choose some areasin the country that have the greatest number of warehousing and distribution centers. These areashave vastly different cultures and environments. This way, the results of the study would includea better reflection of how the future of work would impact varying cultures, thus providing abetter insight into how employees and managers would be willing to accept the changes neededto incorporate new technologies into the work environment.References:[1] S.

design approachsection.5. Design Approach Design 1: Keeping the worker in mind, students designed the top part of the machine guard to be closer to the grinding wheel on both sides. Therefore, the worker(s) could still use the wheel in the same manner, achieve the same quality of finish, and still polish wrenches in the same amount of time. Another feature they added to their design was a bottom plate so that the bottom of the grinding belt could not be accessed during operation. The plate includes a series of square holes and a piece of wire mesh so the dust could still settle at the bottom of the grinder and no objects could enter (figure 2a). The shaft and the nut that is on the side of the grinding wheel are both now guarded

The University administration had provided students with the choice of choosingSatisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) grade instead of regular letter grade for post-unplannedpandemic semester (Spring 2020). The choice of students was not shared with instructors.Instructors had performed remote instructions and assigned letter grades to students. Therefore,the grades reported in this paper are also letter grades.This study will be useful in planning for pandemics in the future as it finds that the post-plannedpandemic student outcome is same as the pre-pandemic.
