provided withthe help of hands-on laboratory experiments. The course is divided into lecture and hand-on labs.The topics included covered in lecture are engineering design process, problem solving, technicalcommunication, engineering ethics and teamwork. Utilizing engineering tools to analyze dataand solve real world problems is an important aspect of the course. Analyzing data in MicrosoftExcel, Programming in MATLAB and Design Project are three major areas of the lecturecomponents of the course. Data analysis concepts involve creation of arrays, use of arithmeticoperators, use of built-in functions, graphing techniques for single or multiple datasets inMicrosoft Excel. An Alternative approach to data analysis is presented using MATLABprogramming

By utilizing the available resources within the College ofEngineering at CSU Chico, multiple projects were developed for the Control Systems Designcourse. These projects benefited from existing laboratory spaces and equipment, which includeda wind tunnel and a solar photovoltaic array at the Energy Systems Lab and a water flume at theFluid and Mechanics Lab.

A study performed by the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) found that theintroduction of an EV load to a distribution transformer increased the failure rate by 0.02% peryear [24]. Reasonably exceeding standard operation ratings have not been found to increase thelikelihood of sudden transformer failures significantly. However, research indicates that increasedload does impact the operation lifespan. A study [25] analyzed how the number of EVs at differentcharging levels affected the aging of a transformer. The results of this study are shown in Table 4.Results indicate that multiple EVs under

In general, most engineering properties, such as the strength, stiffness, resistance to shrinkage, and imperviousness of the soil, will improve by increasing the soil density.6. Why is determination of water content of soil important? For many soils, the water content may be an extremely important index used for establishing the relationship between the way a soil behaves and its properties (hydraulic conductivity, consolidation, shear strength properties, etc.). The consistency of a fine-grained soil largely depends on its water content. The water content is also used in expressing the phase relationships of air, water, and

Joseph Schwab, a pioneerof this pedagogy, recommends that students practice inquiry in laboratory instruction beforebeing presented with large amounts of facts through formal explanation [13]. He considers it asan effective way to improve knowledge transference in comparison to traditional laboratoryinstruction that only offers a formal explanation. Students do not need extensive knowledge ofthe subject matter because they learn about it by asking their target users and teachers.Makerspace students used inquiry through HCD to ask questions and used deductive reasoningin order to gain knowledge about the people
