students would gain more confidence using hand tools. At the end ofthe project, it was reported that all students reported an increase in confidence with using simplehand tools.Future WorkOverall, it is believed that the engine dissection and testing project was successful and only smallchanges should be made in the future relating to clarity and timing throughout the class periodsused to conduct this project. One area for future work is assessing the retention of theengineering design process. At VMI the students complete a design and build project duringtheir sophomore year in Statics and Solid Mechanics, again in their junior year in MechanicalAnalysis, and lastly in their senior year in Mechanical Design and Capstone Design classes. Itwould be

community vision with Pitt’s core compe- tencies of research and education, Sanchez has built up Pitt Hydroponics in Homewood, founded Con- stellation Energy Inventor labs for K-12 students, and re-created the Mascaro Center’s Teach the Teacher sustainability program for science educators in the region. As a teacher he designed and created the Sustainability capstone course which has annually partnered with community stakeholders to address sustainability challenges at all scales. Past projects have in- cluded evaluating composting stations in Wilkinsburg, studying infrastructure resilience in Homewood, enabling community solar in PA, improving energy efficiency in McCandless Township, and improving water quality in
