indicating progression towards the deliverablesWhen the proposed projects are approved, students are required to discuss with faculty and selecta faculty member, or a group of faculty members, with expertise that are closely related to theproposed project to serve as their faculty advisor(s). Students are also required to arrange aweekly meeting with their faculty advisor(s) to report their project progress and discuss theirplans throughout the semester. As the semester progress, students will submit a mid-term reportand present orally their advancement towards the goals outlined. At the end of the first semester,students will give an oral presentation and submit a report to include the following details of theproject. • Complete design

volume of waterwith solid body rotation can be shown to be ω 2 R14 h0 (3RR12 − R3 − 2R13 ) V = π[h1 R12 + + ] (2) 4g 3(R0 − R)where h1 (m) is the height of the water at the center of the frustum, ω (rad/s) is the angularvelocity, g (m/s2 ) is the acceleration due to gravity, and R1 (m) is the radius at the highestpoint of water. With the volume of water without rotation being the same as the volume ofwater with rotation (non-filtering assumption), the volume equation with rotation can beequated to the volume equation without rotation. With this, the resulting equation can
, skills, and practices ofstudents while creating bridges to engineering and classroom experiences. It is alsocomprehensive because the goal is to improve academic achievement while helping studentsmaintain their identity, connect to their communities, develop a sense of shared responsibility,share their “sensibilities,” and develop critical consciousness. Through a rasquache approach,students will see themselves and their communities in a curriculum that is empowering,transformative, and liberating. The goal would be to replace individualistic perspectives withmore cooperative and active roles from the students and teachers.References[1] J. S. Passel, D. V. Cohn, and M. H.

Before the initial design(Figure 1) of the RE-Brake system was considered, calculations were made based on bikingstatistics and other energy data to determine how much energy could be gained from such a device.These calculations were done using a few pieces of information, primarily the energy lost when a73-kg person is riding a 10-kg bike at 4.4 m/s. The calculation was done using, 1 𝐸 = 𝑚𝑣 2 2where the mass would be the total of mass of the rider and the bike. The energy of this system wasfound to be about 803 joules, if

Mathematics) wasdeveloped by the NSF (National Science Foundation), beginning as SMET and settling as STEMin 2001 [2]. The disciplines were grouped because it was recognized that they all emphasizeproblem solving and critical thinking skills [3]. STEM has been recognized in educationalreports since the 1980’s [2]. Though each discipline within STEM stands apart, they are alsointertwined-for example, physics and chemistry play a role in engineering and ET, and math isstudied in all disciplines [4]. STEM does not include the arts in this grouping.STEAM (Science, Engineering, Technology, Arts, and Mathematics) is an acronym developed atthe Arts-National Policy Roundtable in 2007 [5].

Even though Feldon etal.’s study on graduate student teaching presents “direct, performance-based evidence ofimprovement on specific research skills associated with teaching experiences that complementtraditional graduate research training”[16], teaching is still considered a separate role withoutpositive impacts on research or the faculty career. In many engineering departments, there is aperception that teaching is “grunt work
