The peer mentored design project is anactivity that significantly engages the freshman students in almost all three major components ofthe project: CAD and Simulation-Fusion 360, Group Interaction, and structural building (3DPrinting). The 3D printing activity introduces the students to the Structural and Materials lab,laboratory Teaching Assistants, and provides a medium for students to gather, build, tinker, andfully assemble their structural design; providing a medium for student interaction that helps buildcommunity at the personal and professional levels. Not surprisingly, the students' least favoritepart of the course is the homework assignments. Table 7. Survey questions given to Freshman (2019-2020

the other hand, howethics education manifests in engineering programs is still an open question. There are myriadways in which ethics can be taught, places where it can be taught, and ideas to teach under therubric of engineering ethics. Our paper takes a simple approach to address parts of this issue ofheterogeneity in engineering ethics education by asking one basic question: “what kinds ofpatterns can we observe by looking at how much ethics-related content engineering students maysee in their undergraduate engineering programs?” In order to help the engineering education community have a more detailed view of thestate of engineering ethics education, we collected data from the top 30 engineering degree-granting universities in the

The HET is used for many modern space applications, fromstation-keeping on small satellites to long-term travel to faraway asteroids.Electric propulsion, and specifically the HET, integrates many concepts that are fundamental in anundergraduate education such as electricity and magnetism (E&M), material properties, thermalanalysis, and laboratory experimentation. However, the HET is rarely studied below the graduatelevel. As such, we present a path of feasibility for an undergraduate electric propulsion projectbuilding a small, low-power HET, both as a novel vehicle for engaging with introductory physicsconcepts and as a case study of an advanced self-directed project at the undergraduate level.In this
