ofuncertainty in the physical world. Once the activity results have been fully analyzed and asolution is obtained, the students must both verify and validate the solution. These concepts arememorable due to the engaging nature of the activity and produce an appreciation for historicalengineering methods as a resource. The analogue nature of the tool appears to improve theunderstanding and synthesis of the lesson, as opposed to memorizing a procedure.This paper provides a valuable and customizable lab activity for educators and curriculumdevelopers seeking to improve Freshman/Sophomore mechanical engineering lab courses. TheQuadrant Activity supports ABET learning outcomes 1 (solve complex engineering problems), 4(recognize ethical responsibility/make

[1] listed in italics: • Keep careful, complete and systematic records of laboratory work (experiment) • Understand the importance of, and appropriate methods for, the calculation of errors and uncertainties. (experiment, data analysis) • Carry out experiments, using key equipment to make appropriate calculations and solve realistic, open engineering problems. (experiment) • Analyse data collected, apply theory to one’s own experimental measurements, evaluate results and draw conclusions. (data analysis) • Write technical reports to justify experimental study, record procedures in the laboratory, communicate results and make concise robust conclusions.

modules with more checklists/worksheets, additional AI-related materials, andstudent perspectives, and improving the workshop’s effectiveness by offering more time,encouraging attendees to bring their assignments to work with, and coordinating followup virtualmeetings. The high demand for AI integration and ethical guidance, the versatile application ofthe modules, the need for continuous professional development, varying levels of initial studentpreparedness, and feedback on assignment load all highlight areas where this professionaldevelopment workshop, and engineering writing professional development more broadly, can befurther enhanced.5.

to the following guiding reflection questions: • “What challenges did you face related to your role?” • “What surprised you during development?” • “What advice would you give someone else in a similar position?”3.4 Ethical ConsiderationsAll team members provided informed consent for their reflections to be used in this study. Sincethis was an internally focused project, anonymity was not a primary concern; however, weagreed to keep specific organizational details (e.g., location, aircraft registration) confidential.We sought to ensure the authenticity of personal reflections by encouraging open dialogue andproviding opportunities for members to review their narratives before publication.4.

Institute of Technology Jill Fennell, the Frank K. Webb Chair in Communication Skills at the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Tech, focuses on advancing written, visual, and verbal communication skills. Her research centers on affect theory and its application to technical communication, specifically information design. Jill studies how to enhance the effectiveness of pedagogical documents by incorporating principles from affect theory. Through her work, she aims to empower students, fostering an environment where they actively shape their communication interactions, including teamwork and ethical discussions. By integrating these principles, she goes beyond traditional methods
