First, thediagram was leveraged during the design for manufacturing phase, when the manufacturabilityof each component was reviewed based on its placement in the diagram as well as its interfaceand functional requirements. Second, a master order list was created and procurement was doneaccordingly. A manufacturing timeline was also developed based on the component

is critical forengaging students towards self-motivated learning. Structuring in-class demonstrationsfor students to clearly visualize or tangibly experience why mastering course concepts isimportant to engineering practice answers the all important question of many students of‘Why are we learning this anyways?” Faculty members in theory-heavy lecture coursescan find students motivation and attention waning part way through the semester as moreand more theoretical concepts and solution methods are covered. The addition of a fewkey in-class demonstrations to periodically remind students of the ‘why’ behind whatthey are learning can serve as boosters to student attention and retention withinengineering courses.Overall, students across all the

, beginningwith the desired outcomes or goals for what the learners would possess by the end of the course.The backwards design approach, while it appears to be common sense, is quite contrary to howcourses are actually designed8. Backwards design begins with the end in mind and asks thefollowing questions: Given a task to be accomplished, how do we get there? What kinds oflessons and practices are needed to master key performances? What would we accept asevidence that students have attained the desired understandings and proficiencies – beforeproceeding to plan teaching and learning experiences? The main phases of the backwards designprocess are: (1) identify desired results; (2) determine acceptable evidence; and (3) plan learningexperiences and

The authors have accepted results with p-values of up to 0.10 to be statistically significant.While 𝑝 ≤ 0.05 is a commonly used statistical significance borderline in rejecting or failing toreject a null hypothesis (i.e. there is no increase in self-assessment ratings), working with smalldata sets means that – all else being equal – the standard errors calculated will be greater thanthose for large data sets. This causes p-values to exceed 0.05, which indicate a weaker evidenceagainst the null hypothesis just by virtue of having
