Biodiesel ReprocessorProjects 1, 2 and 4 were part of ongoing research projects, while project 3 and 5 werespecifically designed for the purposes of the REU. Students working on projects 1 and 2 got toconduct some of their testing at industrial facilities, while those working on projects 3 and 4were given access to components and/or equipment by GM. Most of the projects wereexperimental and projects 3-5 in particular required the design and development of a newapparatus by the students. All of the students got the opportunity to use experimental techniquesor equipment that most undergraduates would rarely get a chance to use and got to interact tovarying degrees with faculty, graduate students, industry mentors and staff.Based on this initial

engineering project curriculum redesign? Patsy Hulse, John St George and Li WangAbstractAcademics, librarians, and student learning advisors collaborated to redesign the Civil &Environmental Engineering undergraduate course curriculum at the University of Aucklandand to integrate information literacy principles. The aim was to improve students’ researchskills in line with the University’s Graduate Profile, and also meet the Institution ofProfessional Engineers’ requirements for accreditation.This paper will focus on the changes that have been made to the compulsory Civil &Environmental Engineering Year 4 research-based project paper. The curriculum wasredesigned by introducing a series of

Fish provide nutrients needed for plan growth.The water from the fish pond is circulated to a greenhouse where crops are grown and then backto the fish pond. Pumps used for water circulation, as well as aeration of the fish pond, werepowered using solar photovoltaics. The system design was the output of a senior thesis project atPrinceton collaboration with research partners in Egypt and initial plans for the Summer 2020 werefor another cohort of students to travel to Egypt to install and test the integrated aquaculture andhydroponic system in Egypt.

Since the fabrication tasks areconsecutive—i.e. the CAD design needs to be done before the printed circuit board can becreated—many students on a team had too much free time. The instructors initially assumed thatthis free time would be filled assembling the car kit and designing a paint scheme for the car.These tasks were not as time consuming as the actual control board fabrication however.Initially there were three graduate student instructors assigned to the course, one for each of thefabrication steps, but one instructor was not available and management of the course wasproblematic in this first iteration and may affect learning outcomes.Once the teams’ cars were assembled they
