development of the product followed PBL principles. There are many suchexamples of PBL senior project experiences in literature [14], [15] and project learning isexpected by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) for at least twodecades [16]. The key features of PBL [7] are: • A focus on a specific problem or challenge: PBL tasks are designed to simulate real- world problems or challenges that require students to apply critical thinking, problem- solving, and creativity. • Collaborative learning: Students typically work in groups, with each member contributing their unique skills and perspectives. • Student autonomy: Students have significant autonomy in designing and implementing the project

ImprovementRather than saving forms in individual student folders, require the students to use a standardnaming format for their files, for example, Lab 01 Joe Student, and then store all of the lab formsin one folder. This will make exporting the forms into Excel quicker because all of the files canbe selected at one time.As a general issue, the majority of our students are white and male. About 30% of the studentsin the Engineering Technology (ET) Department at NMU are nontraditional (older) students –including military veterans and displaced workers. The ET Department is looking at ways toincrease female and minority representation.

attributes to previous oil vehicles, such as incorporating a combination of electric motors and regen braking) to simultaneously protect the planet and improve the user experience. The automotive industry’s current battery technology is lithium ion, whose energy density, discharge ability, and relatively low cost are starting to take on larger scale applications in vehicles. Admittedly, lithium ion batteries do not come without their own share of negative environmental impacts, particularly through a large quantity of emissions at their inception. However, enough usage, over time, will eventually create a less significant impact on the environment than standard combustion engines. While companies continue to work towards more environmentally

receiveda grade of 70% or higher; therefore, the outcome was met.The Microfabrication course discussed here is a course that truly included the theory and hands-on components to challenge students on a subject that is usually taught at a graduate level. Thecourse was taught in the senior year of the mechanical engineering technology program by aninstructor with several years of experience in this field. Each course component was designed toprovoke students to explore new ideas. While the lecture part of the course covered processes onthis advanced subject, the student used the lab component to practice the design, fabrication, andtesting of microfluidic sensing devices where most of the techniques discussed in the lectureswere used.
