Furthermore, the study is relevant to theASEE division’s mission and the scope is interdisciplinary including design, development andresearch. The research paper was a term project for a public works engineering and managementclass that is offered each fall semester. This makes it relevant to the theme of the ASEE GraduateStudies Division.How Tidal Energy Works Tidal Energy uses the earth’s gravitational interactions with the sun and moon to converthydraulic energy into usable electric power for various uses. The orbital and rotational effects ofthe sun and moon create tidal patterns which may be reasonably predicted

The first offering of the course was taken by 13students and student feedback indicated that 90% of the students gained a better understanding ofbroader impacts, could better articulate the impacts of their research and understood theimportance of intentional efforts to achieve specific societal outcomes.IntroductionEngineers must communicate the potential impact of their work beyond just the technicalaspects. The ability to develop and articulate how one’s research benefits society and contributesto the achievement of societal outcomes are key skills for scientists and engineers

. Her first was her MIT doctoral thesis project, unlocking the gastronomical genome of a Vibrio bacterium. For some of the Vibrio’s meals, she collected seaweed from the rocky, Atlantic coastline at low tide. (Occasionally, its waves swept her off her feet.) During grad school, Alison was also a fellow in MIT’s Biological Engineering Communication Lab. Helping students share their science with their instructors and peers, she began to crave the ability to tell the stories of other scientists, and the marvels they discover, to a broader audience. So after graduating in 2015 with a microbiology doctorate, she trekked to the Pacific coast to study science communication at the University of California, Santa Cruz. There
