Due partly to their effortsthe science around this instrument is now quite robust and this novel device provides consistent,replicable and predictable results. During the summer research, the students got to apply much oftheir theoretical electrical engineering training to a real-world application in sensor arrays andinstrumentation.Background and MotivationThe roles that our undergraduate engineers played in this research during the summer of 2018was written up in a recent (2019) ASEE Zone 1 conference publication.

The first part of the module focused on the materialproperties of single-use plastic straws that have resulted in their ubiquitous and environmentallydeleterious use.

I also explain how students at once welcomed and resistedworking with the SDGs and the effects that reorienting the patent assignment around them hadon their perception of the course’s value. I conclude that both qualitative and quantitative data instudent course evaluations suggest that reorienting course lectures and assignments around theSDGs played an important role in increasing students’ appreciation of the

Although valuable, these courses by themselves do not sufficientlyprepare students for the challenges of writing as an engineer. The reason is that engineeringwriting is significantly different from general writing. For one thing, the content of engineeringdocuments is, on the whole, both more specific and more complex than
