The premise of this type of setting is unlike minds comingtogether for the possibility of a better-informed cause through the exercise of multidisciplinaryteams. It is important to explore the consequences and successes of multidisciplinarycollaboration because working together will be paramount for engineers working in a global(diverse) society.1 Much of their

Onecharacter asks the other what he would advise Atlas do with an increasingly heavy burden, andthat character indicates he would suggest Atlas shrug. The inference of course, is that shouldAtlas do so, the world would slide off his stalwart shoulders, sending every human being on itinto certain oblivion. It‘s a hyperbolic metaphor, but there are doubtless any number of collegeprofessors who feel a bit like Atlas these days

None ofthe eight texts reviewed attempted a diagram of any kind for entropy and exergy.The limitations of existing textbooks in the thermal-fluid sciences in providing students withconsistent diagrammatic support to solve engineering problems has motivated the exploration of astraightforward unified approach to drawing these diagrams.

An academic makerspace is part workshop, part classroom, and part community ofpractice. It is a place where real-world challenges are married with hands-on approaches; wherestudents are encouraged to prototype and realize ideas; where design meets manufacturing; andwhere a student’s mind, hands, and heart can be integrally intertwined.

Additionally, hands-on models as learning aids inStatics are not just limited to a single topic [5]-[7]. The use of a model for the activity developedin the current paper also aims to enhance students’ 3D spatial skills, which are known to be animportant factor in the success of engineering students across many disciplines [8], [9].The activity was also meant to foster entrepreneurial-minded learning (EML) and help developthe entrepreneurial mindset in students.
