impacted efforts to recruit a more diversepopulation of students into the discipline [6]. In this paper, I demonstrate how an accessible andinclusive middle school mini-unit on fluid mechanics can be constructed using principles ofculturally-relevant pedagogy, community-based learning, and the Ambitious Science Teachingmodel. By doing so, I hope to push back against dominant perceptions about teachingengineering to young learners and offer an example mini-unit plan for other educators to adaptfor teaching aerospace or other relevant engineering concepts.Conceptual FrameworkThis mini-unit – playfully titled “Cool It!” – was developed using principles of culturallyresponsive and sustaining pedagogies (CRSP), community-based learning (CBL), and

Future work will again employ several recentgraduates and undergraduate research assistants to plan and implement the experimental upgrades.2.0 PROJECT EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES:Many of the students at Weber State University (WSU) have full or part-time jobs off campus to helpsupport themselves during their educational efforts. The majority of these jobs have little or noassociation with their field of study, and are simply a means to generate revenue during the students’university tenure.

. Devising a strategy to create fulfilling and informa-tionally identical labs for both groups proved to be a challenge that required meticulous planning,which is outlined in the following subsections.During early course design for the learning-based labs, the information that would be presentedto students was planned in advance in a master document. This master document was the sourcematerial for the informational content presented in the VR simulations and given to the non-VRstudents as a PowerPoint; see Figure 2. With this approach, students are exposed to the sameconcepts, but the concepts are delivered through different mediums. The learning-based labs Aand C provide context to the experience-based labs and therefore precede them.Modules B and

, and diversity in the differentdisciplines allows the projects to be more successful in achieving their goals.Pedagogical ApproachMake to Innovate began with no real framework, and initially, the program was run as one largeindependent study course. This led to several issues, with the largest concern being that studentswere not learning anything with the program. Assessment in the program’s early days was alsonot well-defined, resulting in the program’s reputation for being an “easy A” course. It was clearthat a better framework and assessment plan was needed for the program to be successful.To achieve our objectives, Make to Innovate employed an innovative and dynamic approach toteaching. We implemented a Project-Based Learning (PBL

There are four mitigation strategies related to the storage of lithium batteries:1) physical containment, 2) control of the state of charge as part of the storage plan, 3) the use ofdetection equipment, and 4) storage temperature such as cold storage [15]. SAE J3235 alsoincludes different types of fire suppression and monitoring and detection technologies.

future work, we plan to usedeterministic methods of partner assignment subject to this constraint, perhaps in combinationwith existing team formation software such as CATME.LimitationsOther factors, such as students’ outside relationships with their classmates, use of office hours,and outside resources may have influenced the spread of information through the class.Furthermore, we do not know how the outcome of limited student mixing would compare tomaximizing their connections with other students. For example, if the same two students workedtogether for all four design projects, would their selection remain the same throughout? Futurework should investigate these factors to better determine the impact of team formation.ConclusionSequential team

cumulative engineering process. In Plato’sdialogue, Timaeus, Timaeus is asked to provide an account of how the world came to be as it is.Timaeus argues that the emergence of the universe has followed the non-deterministic plan of theArcheteckton (Master Builder) or Demiurge (Public Worker). These expressions both suggest aMaster Craftsman, a Master Engineer. Timaeus demurs on the specific path taken, claiming thathe can only give a probable account. Clearly, there is freedom in the evolutionary path, but, headds, emphatically, that one thing is for certain, that the emergence of the universe always movesto the Good, moves from each current state to a more desirable future state. Plato’s philosophy was inspired by Pythagoras who gave
