Page 15.223.8Future ResearchThis activity has been used in an initial mechanical engineering class as an introduction toenvironmental science. To assess the effectiveness of the activity, students will be given surveysto assess engagement and pre and post assessments of conceptual understanding. After analysisof surveys and assessments, we intend to make assessment results, additional data sets, andsample calculations available for other engineering educators.Bibliography1. Bruner, J. S.
