For thisreason, this instrumentation was designed to be mobile by placing on a cart as shown bottomright of Figure 3.

Thisproject will provide the provide a visual, hands-on education that will provide students withexposure to complex parts and provide a foundation to improve their creativity in future projectdesigns.Mechanical dissection projects have been done several times and the product that has beendissected has ranged from simple children’s toys to more complex items such as engines [2, 3,4]. Commonly, the limiting factors to conducting a product dissection is the cost of the product,the laboratory/institute constrains on space and safety, and the handling of the waste once thedissection of the product has occurred [5,6]. Some of these issues can be addressed by obtainingsmall items that are meant to be assembled and disassembled multiple times. However

Studies have shown that this shiftto online instruction disrupted in-person laboratory courses, causing engineering students to loseopportunities for hands-on learning [10]. Moreover, some instructors were faced with a need toremove content from their courses in order to adjust to lost instruction time [10].

results regarding the effectivenessof extra credits and their impact on the quality of students' outcomes in respective courses.For students' participation, most studies examined the use of extra credits in different academicdisciplines[20-22]. For example, a study by Parikh and colleagues[23] underlined the usage ofextra credit activities to foster students' interest and engagement in an introductory heat transfercourse for undergraduate students. Apart from three regular course components, i.e., in-classactivities, at-home assignments, and laboratory experiments, they included the use of extra creditassignments. They collected data on student engagement, where students self-reported the timespent completing these assignments. Results showed

Although STS andother academic fields have begun to take an interest in non-human animals, the topic isthinly addressed in engineering ethics literature.
