ethics were positively impacted [12].The third model for developing students’ non-technical skills is requiring stand-alone courses orworkshops that are integrated into the curriculum.

and analysis • Collect, analyze, and present data in an appropriate manner • Begin to develop professional habits necessary for success as a practicing engineer, including engineering ethics and written and oral communication.Also, before and after the project, we surveyed to measure improvement in students' understandingand confidence in their knowledge.MethodsThis project was given to students after they learned chapter 5 (The second law of thermodynamics)to ensure that relevant topics were covered in class. The project included basic information withhands-on experimental activities with the stirling engine. The stirling engine is an externalcombustion engine that operates on the principles of a thermodynamic power cycle where
