enrolled in at least 2 of the 5 courses, and this overlap is noted. Graduatestudents can co-enroll in the senior level courses but take additional rigor in their semestercompared to the undergraduates. Key differences between the junior and senior level courses arethat the senior level courses have less assigned homework and a semester-long term project. Thissemester-long term project includes two interim deliverables that are reviewed by the instructorand revised by the students into a final deliverable. These projects are group projects that are anearly complete design of an engineered system such as the foundations for a large, big boxstore, using the actual site information for a real-world project, the actual structural loads fromthe actual

Interest and curiosity inengineering begins in lesson one with a small hands-on mini-design project.

Throughout this timeperiod student opinion surveys and student learning outcomes data have been collected toevaluate the effectiveness and reception of ungraded classrooms. These classrooms have a finalgrade, but the individual homework, quizzes, projects, and exams are treated as assignments inthe engineering office. They are submitted, reviewed, and then revised.

The wheelchair then began to have a largerpurpose for medical needs. Slowly wheelchairs began being electrically powered.

Because tight fillet radii weaken the shaft, larger fillet radii are recommended. Thosepoints would lead to shafts that are more economical to produce and less likely to undergo fatiguefailure, without compromising key strength.IntroductionThis project arose due to difficulties with teaching and learning design of keyed joints in thecontext of a project-centered machine design course; that context is worth describing here.
