The second characteristic is defined by a new increase in the TEG performancethis would be signified by computing the energy losses and comparing these losses to the powergeneration. This is best approached by utilizing a quasi-steady state conditions and by treating eachtime interval as its own event the trend can be seen as a function of temperature. This showed thatthere was a notable improvement of power generation across the system. While the results showpromise and show a clear divergence in a positive direction over a large number of data sets a lot ofwork can be done moving forward. Further, the potential for this project is heavily based upon theconcept of

it gets. The majority of whatfollows in the course is simply applications of this primary tool. Just like a skilledcarpenter equipped with a few simple tools can make all types of furniture, so a skilledstudent equipped with a few general purpose tools can solve all types of thermodynamicproblems. The “skill” is not in memory retention but rather in the continued applicationof the tools to ever more challenging “projects”. It is worth noting that the carpenteranalogy is continued into other parts of the course. e.g. Just like a carpenter needs to Page 11.227.3 know his/her wood, so the thermodynamic student should understand his/her

expected outcome of introducing the first lab at the start of the MSE curricular sequencewas that students would begin to use these tools in their courses. Discussions with otherinstructors recorded the exclusive use of Microsoft Excel for graphing, laboratory reports, anddata analysis. While MS Excel is more widely used in industry than MATLAB, it is also true thatproficiency with MATLAB could translate to Excel more easily than the reverse. Theassumption was that students would use more reliable sources and effective tools if they wereexposed to them and taught to build competency in these tools. While some students began touse MATLAB and CES for course projects and laboratory reports after their 4 th semester, thiswas nowhere near as widespread

You must have an idea of what you want tocreate and sketching is the way to get that idea down and also allows you to share your ideaswith others for critiquing.”The understanding that sketching itself is a way of thinking was very important for students torealize so they could begin using it as a tool rather than as something to perfect by showing totheir peers or instructor. Many students noted how they regretted not having more sketchesleading up to their final design project, which further underlines the newfound importance theyplaced on sketching as a tool to improve their end-product.DiscussionThe exploratory

proximity, another possible reason of this special connection is that PLs are not involved inthe grading process. This makes students more relaxed when interacting with PLs.PLs give us feedback about the class during the semester; we do not have to wait for classevaluations at the end of the semester.What PLs take from their class experience.PLs’ experience in this program was overwhelmingly positive. For them it was a personaldevelopment process not just a job, and the little empowerment that comes with the position doescontribute to their growth as young individuals.

Rather, the assessment criteria should be more geared towards the impact ofentrepreneurship on the engineering skills of the students, such as their design thinking,teamwork, project management and economics. Although some engineering attributes are simpleto assess, such as communication and teamwork, there are very few verified tools that can assesscomplex attributes, such as investigation and design thinking.
