Arkansas Little Rock. The course is offered inlecture-lab format. Two hours per week were allocated for each instructional component. Theprerequisite for the course is trigonometry. It is not expected that students have exposure to fluidsthough some students may have received instruction on fluid behavior in college physics courses.As in the case for many institutions, the thermo-fluids lab equipment used for fluid power andmechanics, applied thermal sciences, and thermal system design courses are located in the samephysical space. The lecture-lab format is also used for these other two courses.The fluid power lab has equipment purchased from commercial lab equipment suppliers and in-house built equipment.

aimed to implement a sustainability component in the undergraduate levelclass. The student adopted sustainability component in their senior project for consecutive 2spring semesters. In one class, the students calculated the carbon footprint for a highway project.In another class, they students perform the life cycle analysis (LCA) for another constructionproject. The paper describes in detail the sustainability component of the design. This study willassist other engineering and engineering technology educators to include sustainability designcomponent in their corresponding courses.BackgroundWhile sustainability was arguably a niche concern prior to the 1990s, it is a topic of everydayconversation today. Acting in a sustainable manner is a

Through strain hardening, the metal’s strength andhardness are increased by rearranging the material’s microstructure with no heattreatment1,2,3. Cold rolling, one of the most common cold working processes, is used tomanufacture sheet metal, strip, and foil products1,2. It results in a smoother surface finish,improves dimensional accuracy, and increases mechanical properties at
