Engineering provides a unique platform to make an impact on the world. Engineersare responsible for utilizing the scientific principles studied in laboratories, patterns and lawsderived by mathematicians, and creativity to develop new products and processes or improveexisting ones. These products and processes have an impact on consumers and the envir onmentthat surrounds them, both small and large. Thus, it is vital that engineers have a

They learned the basic formulation of fluid mechanicsequations, which lead to application of continuity and Bernoulli’s equations. Students had anopportunity to verify these equations through hands-on projects and direct measurements in thethermos-fluid laboratory. Also, students were introduced to basic force analysis on aerodynamicvehicles, with an emphasis on lift generation airfoils. They were also given the opportunity touse simulation tools to better understand flow properties and their effect on the aerodynamicloads.Through this session of the SEE program, students were introduced to both theoretical andexperimental topics related to

Thiswas a commendable step toward improving the course and addressing broader impacts ofengineering, but something was still lacking. While these activities provided a glance into sometypical laboratory exercises in the various engineering disciplines and kept students engaged, thecourse did not emphasize human-centered design concepts that are vital for solving real-worldchallenges.
