Academic Advisor (required), choose at least one Adventure from eachStudent Learning Outcome category. Peer Educators and Mentors may assign specific Adventuresfor their section(s), for example, a Fain Fine Arts section might require attendance at a performance.Students should complete the following assignments: Goal Setting Activity – Week 2, Study GuideActivity – Week 4, Wellness Inventory – Week 5, and Self-Assessment – Week 13. Summary and ConclusionsSuggestions from PEs (Peer Educators) include putting due dates on the syllabus, tracking adventurecompletion, including guest speakers, and something due each week to improve attendance. Theyalso suggested continuing the guidebook. The mentors asked for

their prototypes themselves during the class time.Wind power generation is one activity that spans over four weeks of the semester. The students areintroduced to the Betz limit and efficiency calculations in online lectures. They learn to performcalculations and generate engineering plots using Excel. They are asked to design their own windturbine blades to generate maximum power for wind speeds less than 10 miles per hour (4.5 m/s). AnAutoCAD tutorial is provided, and the students create AutoCAD drawings of their blades that aresuitable for laser cutting. A laser cutting tutorial is provided and the students use the laser cutters tocut their blades from provided wood sheets. They assemble the blades as shown in Fig. 1 (a) and testthem in a
