However, learning a subject should not only be limited tothe contents of a textbook, but rather, should be approached with the goal of understanding thesubject from a broader perception. Therefore, in order to broaden students

equipment will be used to measure pressure, volumetric efficiency, and energyefficiency. The second reason is that commercially available lab equipment is expensive as it ismost often built to order. As we were building this set-up and researching operation andperformance, we realized that this would be a useful teaching tool to use in the fluid power lab.With a few modifications to existing setup, students can conduct basic to advanced experiments.Interestingly, it was a student working on this research project who suggested that we use thisequipment as a teaching tool in the fluid power course.Proposed experiments include fluid pressure in column, minor losses, and validation ofBernoulli’s theorem. We have found that the ram pump serves as a

This application, which addressed Accreditation Board for Engineeringand Technology (ABET)’s Criterion 3 and Criterion 5c, was implemented in a four-credit hour(ch) senior-level applied fluid mechanics course, with a 3ch lecture and 1ch laboratorycomponent. The course is the second in fluid mechanics’ sequence and covers topics likepipeline systems design, pump selection, flow of air in ducts, lift and drag, etc. The originalinstructional design used a blend of traditional in-class lectures and problem-based learningfocused on project-based and other laboratory exercises.To further improve the students

software used in design projects and laboratory was alsobriefly discussed. The authors used the characteristics of the learning systems, their effectivenessbased on students’ performance, student skills developed using the learning systems, and studentfeedback as their comparison criteria. Most of the methods reviewed used computer technologyand multimedia to provide interactivity and visualization. Most of these methods were found toimprove student performance and help develop their skills. Overall, student feedback andcomments were positive and encouraging.Engineering students often face difficulties comprehending the first and second laws (Meltzer [9]),particularly the concepts of heat, work, and cyclic processes. According to Meltzer, students

BackgroundEngineering Technology (ET) programs in community colleges represent a distinct facet ofengineering education, catering to different student populations and workforce developmentneeds compared to conventional four-year degree paths. ET programs prioritize practical,application-oriented learning, equipping students with hands-on problem-solving skills directlyrelevant to the industry. For instance, students in ET programs may engage in projects simulatingreal-world engineering challenges, fostering their ability to tackle practical issues. In contrast,traditional four-year engineering programs delve deeper into the theoretical foundations
