recycled to perform casting.Background & Theory Sand casting is associated with a limited number of Capstone senior design programs offeringbachelor’s degrees in Materials Science and Engineering [i]. However, the technique is absent inthe mechanical engineering Capstone literature; presumably because it is not used elsewhere tosupport ME senior design. Some casting examples do exist in ME manufacturing laboratoryclasses [ii,iii], but predominantly simulation is used in leu of the physical casting process to aidstudent learning and understanding of underlying phenomena. [iv,v] To incorporate sand casting applications in an ME Capstone senior design course, we deployedthe “Energy Engineering Laboratory Module” (EELM) pedagogy. EELM

Traditional engineering curriculum typicallyattempt to blend theoretical knowledge, following the disciplines of mathematics and thesciences, with practical skills. Mechanical engineers, for example, might take courses inmathematics, physics and design supplemented with laboratory experiences teachingprogramming, machining, and Computer-Aided Design (CAD). The results of these curricula areengineers with a broad understanding of many subjects, with some applied skill sets. However,the number and complexity of courses required for successful establishment in industry makesengineering programs the longest programs in universities (as measured by credit hour).

Previousstudies have shown that hands-on laboratories can improve academic performance and increasestudent success by allowing them to experience the theoretical content in real-world examples.However, hands-on assignments come with various challenges, including the availability ofspace and equipment, instructor creativity to design experiments, and student capacity for classenrollment. This paper will present new ideas for developing assignments that keep studentsinterested in learning and can evolve with new technologies. By incorporating innovative andrelevant topics and using modern technologies, we can create more engaging and interactiveassignments that improve student learning outcomes.Methodology:Engineering Thermodynamics is a core course

During this period, most institutions shifted to emergency remote learning whichaffected both how academics taught and how students learned. Studies have shown that this shiftto online instruction disrupted in-person laboratory courses, causing engineering students to loseopportunities for hands-on learning [10]. Moreover, some instructors were faced with a need toremove content from their courses in order to adjust to lost instruction time [10].

A key to the student-centered process we took was to start from the perspective of howmany student contact hours each of our current (quarter) courses have–broken down by lectureand laboratory. When putting together options for the courses, we calculated the new studentcontact hours and compared them to the quarter hours. The accounting of hours is a moreaccurate representation of the conversion from quarter to semester and took out some of theuncertainty of the conversion. For example, the direct conversion of a 3-unit lecture quartercourse is a 2-unit lecture semester course (3 times 2/3). On the surface, a 2-unit course soundslike and can feel like a loss when in reality both have the same number of

However, due to the limited computational resources available for classroominstruction, the problems used for illustration and laboratory assignments are limited to simplecanonical types. This means that students will not be able to analyze realistic problems withpractical applications, which are inherently complicated, computationally expensive, and requirehigh-performance computing (HPC) clusters that take advantage of massive parallelization. In thispaper, a course in the curriculum that addresses this issue is proposed. In this course, thefundamental theories of high-performance computing will
