higher learning that the principal focus of study are thetechnical skills needed to function as a professional engineer. Whether it be controls, vibrations,heat transfer, biomechanics, or a concentrated list of technical subjects, our students are carefullyprepared for life in the technical world. The issue with stopping in our teaching at this list is thatwe do not provide our students with experiences that aim to bring them into contact with areasthat may make their lives both interesting and instructive. The expectation is that they willreceive in general university courses all that they need to know about art, literature, and music,along with professional behavior and ethics. This would be fine, except that much of thatinstruction in “other

engage students in‘deep learning.’ According to Bentz [9], ‘deep learning’ is “at once emotional and intellectual,mental and physical, social and personal, totally unique yet freely shared.” While ‘deeplearning’ utilizing balance, inclusion, and connection [10] can be the ideal, on the practical level,active learning was employed in this session.Garris [1] outlines four propositions for integrating patents into the undergraduate curriculum.These include 1) “Optimal Design is an Integrative Process,” 2) “Ethics of Design inCompetitive Industry are Intricate,” 3) “Innovation in a Litigatious Environment can beDangerous,” and 4) “Patent Rights are Valuable Assets.”From this prior art we see that in order to draw students into the complexity of

parts that otherwise require complexprocesses and assemblies. The applied research component of the work presented in this paper isto design the systems that are user-friendly and be able to print multiple parts without humaninteraction. This saves time to load and unload one component at a time. These projects representuniqueness in the sense that the students were able to successfully complete the projects in oneterm, and communicate their designs effectively through an engineering report, power point slidepresentation and by a poster. Each report contains several items including the safety issues,ethics and impact to society due to poor designs. The teaching and learning parts of undertakingthis and other capstone projects will be briefly

To test the protection from the elements, the scooter should be placed outside in the civilengineering concrete area. The scooter should be completely covered in water and left overnight.Pictures should be taken before and after. When this is completed, the test should be repeated fora whole week. Compare the before and after pictures from everyday side by side. If visibledamage has occured the scooter will fail the test.Ethical Issues Many different factors of the proposed design of the scooter have been thought about tomake the scooter environmentally ethical
