toEngineering Technology Management (ETM) program within the Mechanical Engineering(ME) department.This project provides benefits to multiple areas of the ME program. From the students’perspective, this study seeks to reduce “D”, “F” and “W” grades and helps students to improvetheir grades more towards “A” and “B” by increasing their learning. Also, with this experience,in the long run, this transformation of the traditional classroom to an active learning environmentcan be extended to other courses like Fluids Mechanics, Controls, Machine Design, etc.Moreover, this learning approach promises to increase student success in a core course likedynamics, which should positively impact students’ performance in subsequent courses in theME department.Fig 1

presented by LDM can befound in the necessity to conduct post-processing of the obtained 3D objects and in the adequatecontrol of the ink viscosity [3], [5]. FDM can be used with minimal post-processing and offers theadded advantage of higher resolution, thus the use of FDM in this study [5]. Moreover, at IndianaUniversity – Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), several undergraduate engineering capstoneprojects have involved the use of 3D printing for rapid prototyping and small-scale production ofcomplex objects. This study can provide a framework to improve student adoption of additivemanufacturing as an efficient design project technology.2.

The wrappers reinforce the importance of using homework to learn how to solveproblems instead of proving that they can do so, and they encourage the students to monitor andaddress their problem-solving mastery.As a result, we expect that over time in the course, students’ goal orientations shift towardmastery approach, and that shift is responsible for the observed increase in homeworkeffectiveness. In the next phase of this project we will use survey instruments to measure thegoal structure students perceive and the goal orientations they adopt as they progress
thedifferences in ESS operation for different facilities, the differences between ESSs, and thebenefits of ESSs in load leveling. The results demonstrate that intermittent process facility(typical manufacturer) requires a larger ESS to shave many peaks to achieve a desired DR.Furthermore, the results provide insight towards the weaknesses of some ESSs when comparedto others, leading to areas of future development. For example, the lifetime of Pb-acid ESSs isthe shortest, so research should be conducted to extend the lifetime of this ESS. Also, the resultsreveal a demand profile becoming flatter as the DR is increased.Acknowledgement This material is based upon work supported by Salt River Project (SRP) under award number98-153C MOD49 NonEE.References

Faculty success in creatinginclusive classrooms is directly linked to student perspectives and outcomes, and thus we arecollecting data from students in participating classrooms. The student-centered assessment planis a mixed-method approach that includes survey response data asking students about theirrecognition of inclusive strategies, examination of the department and university climate, and asense of community within the classroom. There is also an option for

Both projects were completed and launched in early2021 prior to our graduate recruitment events. In addition, we

Departmental climate data is the basis for self-reflection, not a research project. Data analysis in this context is fundamentally different in two ways. First, the people interpreting the data produced the data and thus have the necessary capacity to clarify and expand the meaning of the data that are available. Second, while research requires the interpreter to observe and analyze the data, climate data requires the interpreter to personally respond and, in many cases, consider
