We summarized four domains based on the interviews and transcription as follows. Due tothe page limit, we only excerpt what they said corresponding to domain 4 which gives uspreliminary data related with question 1. Domain 1: What it’s like to be in the program—relationships amongst students Domain 2: What type/s of people are like to be in the program—people types Domain 3: What type/s of people are like to be in the program—type/s of yourself Domain 4: What impacts of PBSL on you are—changes of your personality or identity Student A participated in PBSL 4

Thispaper will present the work by the authors to develop a water flume that would allowhydrodynamic testing at velocities up to 2.0 m/s. The flume was constructed by anundergraduate and at a cost lower than commonly available commercial units. Both thefabrication process and the potential experiments that the flume could house are designed toimprove student learning in the area of fluid mechanics. The design is developed to be relativelycompact, with a 7’x3.5’ footprint and utilizes a commonly available single-stage centrifugalpump.

Students put various loads on the 3beam (50g, 100g, 200g, 500g) and record the corresponding strain values.
