any shortcomings dealingwith the technical aspects of the paper, they are fully capable of assisting with grammatical andstructuring questions the students may have. As noted by Davies et al. [14], engineering studentshave a tendency to struggle with writing, so any additional steps that can help should be taken.While the oral presentation is open to the general public, since it is given during class-time nearthe end of the semester it is expected that the audience will be a technical audience and they areinstructed to prepare the presentation with that goal in mind. As shown in Figure 3, above, this project was assigned to the students during the seventh weekof a 16-week semester. This is at a point when the students have been introduced

They presented following important recommendations to prepareonline-open book-open mind approach exams: the students should be tested more on theconcepts rather than the material that can be plagiarized easily and selecting random sets ofquestions from a pool of questions for each student. For the second part, more questions shouldbe setup in the learning management system so that the system can randomized the exam foreach student. Pohl

' scores onthe Entrepreneurial Minded Learning Assessment (ESEMA) surveys underscore the potential ofthese pedagogical approaches to augment both theoretical understanding and practical skills.However, the challenges encountered, such as the need for iterative prototyping and adjustmentsto project requirements, highlight the complexities inherent in implementing innovative teachingmethods.The implementation of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Entrepreneurial Mindset Learning(EML) in foundational mechanical engineering courses, specifically Statics and Dynamics, hasyielded promising results. Despite the challenges presented by the traditional emphasis ontheoretical knowledge, the integration of PBL and EML has provided students with practical

After analyzingopen-system components in isolation, they are combined to model gas turbines, steam powerplants, and refrigeration plants using the Brayton cycle, Rankine cycle, and refrigeration cyclewith some modifications to account for departures from the idealized model. Students arechallenged by cycle analysis since they must remain mindful of three new conceptssimultaneously: ●​ the purpose of the component being analyzed (e.g., a nozzle converts enthalpy to kinetic energy), ●​ the engineering model being applied to that component (e.g., reversible and adiabatic), ●​ and the procedure for analyzing working fluid properties (e.g., air table procedures, ideal gas isentropic
