4. Figure 4. Pictures drawn by middle school students with flow predictions, crown (top) and star (bottom).The ME student teams took the middle and high school student designs back to the lab anddesigned 3D molds with the SolidWorks program, as shown in Figure 5 for the “crown” shape. Aphysical mold of the model was made with the 3D printer followed by actual flow inserts for theePIV from the silicon elastomer, Sylgard 184 (both the mold and the flow insert are shown inFigure 6 for the star, pumpkin and crown shapes). The 3D models developed in SolidWorks wereanalyzed with the FloXpress CFD tool. Representative results are shown in Figure 7 for the“star” shape. Pictures and videos of the CFD and

individualpaper which was related to engineering careers. On the last day of the two week SB students givea presentation surrounding their design project giving details, sketches, and concepts to the otherstudents in the class. In addition, the SB program engineering students also participate in aPumpkin Drop project during the fall semester just as the traditional engineering LCs studentsdo. Students complete the Pumpkin Drop project in a team as well. The summer bridge program is followed into the first semester with five class meetingsthroughout the fall semester. Continued contact with the students allows the instructional team tocontinue to serve students as they face the challenges of adjusting to college life. It also allowscontinued

Pump- Number of Pumpkin seeds to plant The former is the secondary formulation for Experience (XP) maximization. Notice that Raspberries (Razz) are not in the Optimization Function and any XP gain from Razz must be from places Plowed (Plw). Constraint 1 limits the time available to the next 12 hours, but multiplies by the number of plots available (24*12=288). Page 22.1636.6 As apparent from the formulation, students replaced the previous plants with newunlocked plants. At each juncture, the student must choose which seeds to evaluate. Thisleads a variable to potentially last through to the Final Formulation.Table 3

-Catch Irrigation System.” The team chose to focus on a particular village in The Page 22.1346.7 Gambia, where most of the population is comprised of subsistence farmers and essentially all of the annual rainfall occurs within a 4-5 month period. The team identified a community building with a corrugated metal roof suitable for a gutter system, researched costs of specific building materials available in The Gambia, and designed a rain-catch system and concrete water storage facility using available materials. They presented research regarding the time and water required to grow pumpkins and squash, and
