It alsoindicates that mastering such skills will be a major determinant of the futurecompetitiveness of engineering graduates. Agenda 21, a global action plan for delivering sustainable development accepted atthe Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, stated that “education is critical forpromoting sustainable development and improving the capacity of the people to addresssustainable development issues [4]”.

IntroductionIn the workplace and the academy, professional engineers, researchers, and students typicallyfunction in teams. Even if individual team members have diverse technical backgrounds andexpertise, the effectiveness of their work together depends on more than engineering ‘chops’. Inorder to negotiate, plan, motivate, and integrate tasks at the team and even department level,engineers must practice and become skilled at interpersonal tasks like “communication,collaboration, networking, feedback provision and reception, teamwork, lifelong learning, andcultural understanding”1.

Student engagement calculated for thetotal class registration against the actual number of students present for that day. Actualengagement will be little higher, if the student engagement is computed against the actualnumber of student present in the class. However, it is evident that student engagement andlearning improved, using above method to solve problems through active learning. As a futurework, authors plan to establish a method to measure and present the increased effectiveness ofactive learning in such courses.References[1] Jenny A.

the voltage produced. The maximum temperature difference tested was 68.1°C and thisproduced an efficiency of 2.22% and an output power of 1.17 watts. While this efficiency mightseem low, thermoelectric generators are noted for their relatively low conversion efficiency.Also, the maximum temperature difference tested (68.1°C) is fairly modest, higher temperaturedifferences would result in higher efficiency. Typical thermoelectric devices require atemperature difference of approximately 500°C to achieve an efficiency of 10% 9,10. Testing isplanned for the future with higher temperature differences, but the current testing has beensuccessful for the conditions tested.It is planned to use this experimental setup both as an in-class demonstration

They found anumber of courses with collaborative learning experiences, projects staffed by multiple students,and some degree of instruction in teaming, but conclude that the teaming experience in acurriculum can contain significant gaps.One of the challenges of teamworking is finding the time to provide instructor guidance withinthe scheduled classroom time.

This 7-minute time constraintwas decided upon originally to align with the desires of GenZ students for short bursts ofviewing, but also fit well into the 12-minute restriction which is required under softwarelicensing terms. It was discovered early in our pilot that a strict adherence to the 7-minutelimitation was too restrictive for many of the planned videos and would require the instructor toeither reduce the included material or to artificially separate the footage into two videos. Neitherof these points were considered sufficient to maintain the original, relatively arbitrary 7-minuteframework and we modified the concept to allow for single-topic review videos which weresimply as short as possible to cover the

A more flexible (i.e., two or more degree of freedom)sectioned wing model is envisioned as the next logical step, which would require moresophisticated internal joint control.AcknowledgementsThe MNE research engineer and instrument shop machinist Jason Selland is gratefullyacknowledged for his work in conjunction with the rapid prototyping system, which was used toconstruct the smoke rake and flapped wing designs

This profile needs to be defined in a way to avoid or reduce the mechanicalvibration and stress on components and actuators, as well as to reduce overshoot response andexcessive position error during motion. This is accomplished by electronic cams. The inversekinetic analysis, which includes masses, center-of-mass locations, and mass moments of inertia,is used to generate the required actuator torque / force for the motion profile, and results in aspeed / torque-force diagram on which to base actuator selection. The chosen actuator nowbecomes part of the system, and, with the updated system, a control system, with feedback andfeedforward control, is designed, which then results in a new speed
