help to understandtheoretical concepts. The following discussions show how the initial RAL activities in this studyalign with Barak's principles and how RAL serves as a “mind tool". Figure 1: RAL ConceptsCurrent Study (Methodology)Based on this framework, the project has engaged with all five faculties at USQ via the AssociateDeans Learning and Teaching. Whereas all were very supportive of this initiative, currently thereare no active projects in the Faculties of Business and Law; and Arts. The study focuses on fiveprojects in the Department of Nursing and Midwifery (Faculty of Science), the Discipline ofSurveying and Spatial Science (Faculty of Engineering and Surveying), and the Faculty ofEducation.

challenges that came up during the design and build phase, noneof these technical issues were outside the scope of what one might expect when performing anyengineering design project, and in all cases provided the students working on the project withvaluable engineering experience. These technical issues included packaging of manycomponents into small spaces, while being mindful of transportation laws governing maximumallowable axle weights, sizing of components such as dyno’s, the generator, HVAC systems,heat exchangers, pumps, wires, and plumbing components.The more interesting challenges are the logistical issues. Most academic institutions are not wellversed in the heavy duty transport industry, yet many of the same laws and regulations
