course learning outcomes [1].From the students’ perspective, review sessions serve as an opportunity to learn about the examformat and get a general understanding of the types of questions they will be expected to answeror the types of problems they will be expected to solve. On the other side of the classroom, for aninstructor, exam reviews may feel like a tedious and redundant exercise, where one is expectedto regurgitate topics already covered in detail and to solve a series of example problems teasinglysimilar to what might appear on the exam.Another approach to exam reviews is hosting a question-and-answer (Q&A) session withstudents without a set agenda. This approach usually leads to disastrously low classroomparticipation and

suggests fillet radii and key chamfer dimensions [1]. Peterson [8] refers totypical fillet radii of r/d = 1/48 in, where d is the shaft diameter. In either source, thesedimensions do not correspond to common radii on bull nose end mills.Shaft Failure at KeyseatKeyseats are a common point of failure for shafts because they act as stress raisers. In powertransmission, a shaft essentially carries an alternating stress due to bending and a mean stress dueto torsion.Notch SensitivityThe effective stress in a part is typically lower than what one would predict from theoretical stressconcentration. The effective fatigue stress concentration is given by, Kf = 1 + q(Kt − 1) (1

Electrical Engineering. They presented the relation between pressure, flow rates, and designing a dam and solar panels for renewable energy.The second mini project: Each group picked their topic from Table 1. They were required toprepare a short 5–10 minutes presentation that included a title slide with the group’s info, aproblem statement slide, research and solution for the chosen topic, and a final slide for Q&A.The topics were broad in different areas to cover all the majors in the class. The objective of thisassignment was to familiarize students with the diverse real-world applications ofThermodynamics and to help them understand the significant challenges faced by our planet,climate, and emerging technologies.

Additionally, 63%of students found it useful in handling Q&A sessions, and 74% of them reported increasedconfidence in their communication skills. Some students (26%) also mentioned that they learnedhow to create a poster and organize their poster layout. When asked for suggestions to improvethe course, one main recommendation from students was to introduce short quizzes after eachtopic to reinforce lecture content.The survey results indicate that students found the course engaging and
