Solving I work in teams to fabricate a small centrifugal pump in a factory-likelaboratory setting. Presently, integration of INEN 401 and ENGR 120 class is nonexistent. Thispaper summarizes the development of an innovative way of teaching INEN 401, by verticallyintegrating it with ENGR 120, in a factory-like environment to enhance the overall efficiency ofthe pumps manufactured in ENGR 120 class. Tasks performed include identifying root causes,publishing new fabrication and assembly instructions, fabricating pumps based on newinstructions, testing the efficiency of new pumps, and comparing pump efficiency. Thepreliminary result shows that new pump fabrication instructions developed by INEN 401students resulted in better pump

would be “incredibly helpful”.AE scholars also use a wide variety of tools and platforms for sharing research data. Manyfaculty think of the published thesis or journal article as the public sharing of data. However,internally, data is shared through local tools like emails and shared laboratory disc drives. Datathat is not sensitive is shared through document sharing platforms like Microsoft OneDrive,Dropbox, and Google Drive. Services like QNAP's Network Attached Storage (NAS) are alsoused for backup, storage, and transferring large data. Although sharing data internally wasgenerally not considered a challenge by most respondents, getting large amounts of simulationdata from one place to another was a problem.

was composed of lecture periods (twice a week; one hour each) and a weekly labsession (once a week; two hours per week). The staffing included a graduate teaching assistantto assist students. Lecture periods were sprinkled with collaborative active exercises. Studentswere encouraged to work in teams on the lecture active exercises and on laboratory tasks. Theinstructor often had to expressly direct the collaborative effort as most students would choose towork alone if given the choice. The complexity of VHDL and the overhead of tool chain processeslargely prohibited the use of the synthesis tools in-class for the active exercises.In-class active exercises were mostly focused on the design approach for a particular problem, withstudents

specifically, hypothesis-driven orfundamental research is generally not conducted or encouraged to a large extent as part the degree.Such a practice is not because engineering technology students do not have the aptitude forconducting research, but rather the constraints of coursework and the associated laboratory practicelargely prohibits it from a time/resource standpoint. Tackling a research problem as a high-impactlearning experience will be especially beneficial to engineering technology students since many ofthe solutions that they are tasked to seek out as part of their normal job responsibilities involve theactivities of inquiry, hypothesizing, reasoning, etc., in other words, essential components of research.This paper is an exploration of
