(SEM608)The innovative approach here is to have the teams design games, create and play them(demonstrate) game that would demonstrate one or more of the sustainability 3 Es.This approach served and supported multiple purposes. The project needed to be practicalenough to demonstrate in a game. As the teams developed the projects from concept and movedtowards implementation, they also needed to think about what and how to design anddemonstrate the project objectives in their game. In other words, teams were not designing agame totally independent of the subject matter involved in their project. Their project needed tosupport the course learning objective(s) – so this becomes an integrated approach. The gamesapproach also bring in some ‘randomness

Jamesargued that knowledge was essentially useless unless it could be directly applied 7. The roots ofservice learning come from these ideas of „learning while doing.‟There are many benefits to service learning, as noted in the text “Where‟s the Learning inService Learning” by Janet Eyler and Dwight Giles. Eyler and Giles cite as benefits thedevelopment of problem solving skills, interpersonal development, cognitive advancement, andenhanced world views 5. The role of reflection is also noted to be a critical component in servicelearning. This period of evaluation of ones learning, goals and experiences is important tohelping students realize the connections between theory and practice 5.Experiential learning like service learning is an increasingly

PCC scientists constructed the devices and evaluated the biological inputs/outputs in the system (picked biological seeds, plate counted bacteria, conducted DNA sequencing). Similar experimental set-ups were operated at both institutions. Cal Poly Pomona engineers provided support with system operation and water sample analysis. Student interaction was achieved by using: (a) Initial in-person two-hour meetings. Every semester, to break the ice and engage PCC and Cal Poly Pomona students with the collaborative work, initial meetings were hosted at Cal Poly Pomona. PCC students and the professor(s) visited the campus and had the opportunity of touring the engineering laboratory facilities. The initial meetings

AnalysisThe objective of the second assignment was to apply basic engineering principles of problemdefinition to their system of choice. The assignment goals were to define a system process andrelated variables and identify gaps in the knowledge through a Degrees of Freedom analysis.Students were required to: 1. Sketch your Chesapeake Bay system. 2. Define processes (splitting, mixing, reactions, etc.) and show the streams entering and exiting your process(es). 3. Define and show the variables associated with your processes. 4. Set up a Degrees Of Freedom (DOF) analysis of your system. Determine the variable(s) you will need to calculate (solve for). 5. Determine how many variables will you need to define through research in order

pique the interest of engineering students, introduce them to the engineeringdesign process, and enable them to apply skills learned in the classroom to real-worldapplications.(2) Methods The design consists of three major components: the pump(s), the storage and distributionnetwork, and the slow sand filter(s). Each of these can be scaled up or down to fit the particularneeds of the site; the process of modifying the design to make it “site-specific” presents anexcellent opportunity for engineering students to accomplish a limited amount of design work. “River pumps” harness the energy of the flowing water to pump the water out of the river.One such example is the Rife RP-300 (Rife Hydraulic Engine Manufacturing Co., Nanticoke, PAUSA
