This paper will detail some of the necessary elements required to makemechanical engineering and engineering technology capstone courses simulate real world workexperience and provide students with immersion in their senior design experience which engagestheir “soft skills”. It presents a method whereby the senior design course is taught by a facultywith extensive industry experience and guided by the panel of experts made up of other facultyfrom the department and industry representatives. The technique(s) presented in this paper weretailored to the traditional roles of mechanical (design) engineers in the modern industrial setting,but can be reapplied

experience. These are situations in which the designer(s) are most likely not to reflect anunderstanding or shared identity of end users’ needs and conditions. While the field ofengineering is diversifying, in the United States, nearly three-quarters of engineering positionsare still held by men, two-thirds of whom identify as white [12]. Until there is greaterrepresentation in the sciences and engineering fields, new pedagogical approaches are required toensure that engineering designs are inclusive and appropriate for the sociocultural contexts intowhich they are implemented.Many institutions develop DEI education as a separate, focused course to assist engineers inunderstanding place-based context. Social science courses may go some way in

Upon completionof the module, students completed a case study and were required to analyze the intent andimpact of the conversation between the two characters in the case and propose strategies toovercome the situation. The goal of this module was to help students develop knowledge ofverbal and non-verbal communication styles, worldview, openness, and curiosity. Moreover, thePIM on tricky communication [19] was prefaced with a TedTalk presented by Julien S. Bourrelleabout learning new cultures and what that could entail. An additional reading on the differencesbetween the intent and impact of communication was also supplied. The goal of the TedTalk andreading was to foster worldview, openness
token economy can guide and motivatechemical engineering students in a fluid dynamics course to revisit concepts during the semestervia revisions to previous assignment attempts. Under the token economy, students acquiredtokens as they fulfilled expected class engagement standards and exchanged tokens to purchaseresubmission opportunities on homework or quizzes, which rewarded back a portion of missedpoints to their assignment grade. It is also through these resubmission opportunities that studentsexercised goal-directed practices of identifying the original error(s) and explaining how theadded revision resolved their error(s).

Wind power at each fan velocity isapproximated using equation 1. 1 (1) P = ρa Av 3 2Where, “P” is power (watts), “ρa ” is air density (kg/m3), “A” is the air flow area (m2), and “v” isair velocity measured by the anemometer (m/s).The calculated wind power is then compared against the power generated by the turbine at differentfan speeds and blade designs and the efficiency of power conversion is calculated for eachcombination, which helps in selection of the best design.SOLAR ENERGY UTILIZATIONFor solar energy utilization, student teams are to build

Because CArE 5619 uses a “straight scale” without a curve, and because “required”assignments resulted in a minimum grade of “70 points = C”, students were made aware that thesuccessful completion of all optional assignments included in Module 7 would raise a student’sgrade from a “C” to a “B” (i.e., 70+10 pts).Details of the “story board” / “poster” communication exercise, including a grading rubric, areprovided in Appendix D.Table 2.
