retention in undergraduate and graduate curriculum through applied energy conversion course Anveeksh Koneru Department of Mechanical Engineering The University of Texas Permian BasinAbstractTo increase student interest in the graduate program, and to increase retention in the undergraduateprogram of mechanical engineering, energy conversion course was incorporated to provide anavenue to apply fundamental concepts to practical scenarios and provide design solutions for ministeam power plants. This strategy improved the fundamental grasp, confidence, ethics, andresponsibility of engineering students. Towards the middle of this course, local

be a source of renewable or reusable energy. Using the knowledge we already had onfluid mechanics and our new information about engineering ethics, we decided as a group to pursuea form of hydropower.The project was completed throughout the latter half of the course which allowed us to draw fromthe experiences we had in class. Homework and classwork were continually assigned to helpimprove our knowledge of certain aspects of the engineering design process. Every one and a halfweeks, the groups were required to complete a milestone–an evaluation of the final project’sprogress–and a checklist of requirements. This provided students with the opportunity to properlymanage their time while also simultaneously learning skills that would be

Outcomes 2(an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs withconsideration of public health, safety and welfare, as well as global, cultural, social,environmental, and economic factors) and 4 (an ability to recognize ethical and professionalresponsibilities in engineering situations and make informed judgments, which must consider theimpact of engineering solutions in global, economic, environmental, and societal contexts).Summary Faculty hoping to implement the Solar District Cup in capstone design courses can lookforward to an engaging, detailed design opportunity for students. Faculty using the project in thefall should prepare for some time at the beginning of the semester during which the
