), whereas the present work attempts to train students to fabricatetheir own low-cost shake table for classroom exploration.As demonstrated in the previous paragraph, the use of shake tables in the classroom is admittedlynot a novel concept [13–15]. This study builds on previous approaches by leveraging innovationsin additive manufacturing [16] to promote individual ownership of projects and discovery—seeRecommendation 2 in Ref. [17]. 3D printing has already revolutionized the teaching ofmechanical engineering [18], via the rapid-prototyping of components such as fasteners [19].Given the advancements in 3D printing, it is now relatively easy to produce structural elements todemonstrate fundamental concepts [20–23], as well as material testing [24

Course  AbstractThis paper presents the authors’ experience in introducing the Aspen Plus software to supportstudents in understanding various types of thermofluid cycles for an undergraduate mechanicalengineering thermofluids course. In most thermodynamics/thermofluids courses, students areasked to analyze thermofluid systems using a combination of steam tables or the ideal gas lawequations. However, in industry, an engineer would be expected to use a process simulator tosimulate thermofluid cycles. The main motivation of this project was to familiarize students withsuch software. Students were assigned to work in groups of two to analyze three different typesof thermofluid cycles; Rankine cycles

alignment enhanced their researchexperience in terms of efficiency, effectiveness and satisfaction of the research work.BackgroundIn 2020 approximately 4 million bachelor’s degrees were given in the US [1] across all academicdisciplines. According to the Council on Undergraduate Research, only 28% of undergradsengage in research [3]. However, within 10 years, approximately 40% of former undergraduatestudents enter graduate programs [2] where research capability and experience is often critical tosuccess. One study indicates that 29% of undergrads do not choose to participate in researchbecause they simply are not interested in research [3]. Possibly if research projects could betailored to be more attractive to undergraduate students, more students

Basically, the students surveyed indicated that they do not take advantage offacilities and resources BCTC provides them. As a result, some students fail to pass their classes.Those who do pass do not do learn as much as they could because of limited and inefficent timespent with course material.
