innovative pedagogies that can help enhancethe employability of students. In response to this need, an exploratory study was conducted at asatellite campus of a large, Midwestern research-focused university. The intervention includedthe implementation of an entrepreneurially minded and communication-focused project,developed by the instructor of an upper-level undergraduate manufacturing course. Post-completion of the project, a metacognitive reflection assignment was administered to theparticipants and subsequently, data was collected. Participant responses were qualitativelyanalyzed using thematic analysis which led to the discovery of three themes: (1) identifyingvalue in nature-inspired design, (2) confidence in communication and self-expression

transport water to higher altitudes requires pumping infrastructure. In the absence of suchfacilities, communities that reside in isolated areas encounter water scarcity affecting drinking,sanitation, farming, and other needs. These issues can economically be solved by employing ahydraulic ram pump, which does not require electricity to function as they are powered by thewater source itself resulting in a negligible operational cost. The goal of this study was to modifythe design of an existing ram pump to improve its overall performance. A ram pump setup wasbuilt using various materials including valves, PVC pipe and connectors, and digital pressuregauges [3]. Many modifications are implemented to improve efficiency [3-5].

When aligned with instructional goals, student-created stories capture their attention andemotional interests while providing instructors a concrete and memorable insight into theirstudents’ learning [2, 3]. Stories also facilitate student learning through engagement, higher orderthinking, and elaboration [4, 5]. Besides using the stories to promote technological literacy [6],stories help students make meaning of their own experiences, building self-awareness

In 2005,the results of a survey of first-year programs showed that over 70% of the response had sometype of freshman dedicated course either in their department or by the college. Over half of theresponses had a FYE program for all students entering the college of engineering [1]. Part of thiswas attributed to a resurgence of emphasizing engineering design. Froyd et al. in 2012 [2]discussed five major shifts in engineering education. The first shift was switching from practicalengineering to more theoretical and analytical, which occurred in response to World War II. Inthe 1990s, engineering education started switching back to an emphasis on engineering designwhich still holds true today.A

When the natural frequency of vibration of a structurecoincides with the natural frequency of excitation, resonance occurs, leading to excessivedisplacements [1]. These excessive displacements can cause an annoying oscillation in minorcases or can cause catastrophic failures

In the literature, mentoring isdefined as collaborative professional learning characterized by an egalitarian approach of sharingknowledge, working together, and nurturing the whole person to improve practice [3-5].Although mentors and mentees share a learning experience over time, mentoring is traditionallya one-way learning activity.

Because of this feature,hydraulics are pioneers in the field of heavy load handling. Large load handling would requiresophisticated electronic control and extensive mechanical arrangements with lots of gears andpulleys if tried to execute without hydraulics. A hydraulic circuit consists of some majorcomponents such as prime mover, pump, fluid conductor (hose, tubing, pipe), reservoir, directionalcontrol valve, and hydraulic actuator (cylinder and motor).

StrengthsIntroductionIt has long been known that there is much to be learned from failures in engineering. Engineeringcontent aside, we can also learn from the primary causes of these failures. A 1976 study byMatousek and Schneider involving 800 cases of structural failure resulting in 504 deaths and 592injuries found that when engineers were at fault, 36% of the failures were due to insufficientknowledge on behalf of the engineers [1]. In most circumstances, this source of error should beavoidable. Students in engineering and technology are exposed to a vast range of topics in theirgiven discipline making complete mastery of all topics difficult.
