The course was created for a student toexplore the fertile field that interfaces fluid dynamics and art. The course encompassed severalcomponents including creation of visually engaging objects utilizing fluid motion as a centraltheme. In this paper, the course structure and content are outlined, followed by description ofthree projects to illustrate how interested students can create objects that aesthetically showcasefluids-related phenomena. The objects produced via these projects are suitable as demonstrationtools in informal science

Page 22.173.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 An Examination of Mentoring Functions in the Capstone CourseAbstractThroughout the literature detailing projects in engineering capstone courses, researchersfrequently refer to the faculty role as that of a mentor. As such studies make clear, the role ofmentoring in capstone projects is critical to support students in the progression of the course. Yetthe concept itself remains relatively ill-defined in the engineering education literature, making itmore challenging for researchers and educators alike to identify patterns and best practicesacross contexts. Using a framework developed by Kram to characterize a variety of mentoringfunctions

students devote considerable effort to the design and developmentof their projects, but that they are not as motivated to devote time and effort to writing. As aresult, their final reports often have significant problems with organization, clarity, andeffectiveness. Therefore, we recently adopted several new strategies to improve the quality ofstudent writing. Our goals were to 1) encourage students to work on their writing earlier andthroughout the semester; 2) engage every student in each team in the writing process; 3) usewriting as a tool to improve students’ understanding of the clinical problem that they areaddressing and how their design addresses their client’s needs; and 4) improve the quality of thefinal reports.To achieve these goals
