Experimentation with various metals could be tested under controlled conditions includingthe ability to apply lubrication or non-lubricative additives. Consistent contact between surfacescauses friction and wear resulting in the loss of structural integrity of the material over time.Therefore, lubrication and design play an intricate role in improving the life of metals operatingunder various load conditions.In this experiment, a Block-On-Ring

Photovoice with Entrepreneurial Design Projects as a High Impact Practice in Engineering Technology EducationIn the recent years, interdisciplinary research has become a necessary tool for successfullyfinding solutions to real-world problems. Yet, in the undergraduate engineering technologycurriculum interdisciplinary projects is extremely limited (if used at all), particularly in non-capstone project courses. In this study we present findings and lessons learned from aninterdisciplinary research project that integrates entrepreneurial mindset, bio-inspired design, andart into in an engineering technology classroom in the sophomore-year of the post-secondaryengineering technology education.

from part-time workingstudents, other means of integrating industry experiences must be found to properly prepare full-time students, who do not have industrial experience, with professional skills and technicalknowhow. Ultimately, these skills should be integrated throughout the curriculum not just addedin a final capstone course and then the final capstone course should allow students to beimmersed in a professional environment. An industrial basis for as many projects as possible willprovide students the richest learning experience and help prepare them for their future careers.References [1] Home. (n.d.).

This leads to extensivereliance on students’ engagement with the material outside of the classroom through researchand internships to provide real-life context. The use of technology in the classroom is a way tobridge these experience gaps [1-3]. However, there is a question of how to integrate thistechnology effectively [4-5].

CampsHistorically, summer camp has been an educational vehicle for introducing K-12 students to avariety of educational experiences beyond the classroom [6],[10], [20]. Summer camp istraditionally associated with enjoyable activities and when coupled with the integration ofspecialized academic matter, can offer students to try new things, explore new programs, engageand learn new knowledge, and broaden their horizon and interests. This intense, but shortsequences, provides an ideal means for the introduction and immersion of K-12 students intoareas that might not be easily accomplished in a traditional classroom setting.Summer camps focusing on various engineering fields have been conducted to introduce studentsto the engineering profession and have been
