Ideally, here the students put into reality what had previously been developed in thedesign groups. In the laboratory, students work in small teams usually consisting of at least onemore experienced classmate acting as a leader. The students learn simple tasks, such as sanding,as well as more complex composite-material fabrication methods, such as the processing of pre-preg or

active learning exercises that are simple, relate to thelearner’s experience level, and that can be incorporated into and synchronized with otherteaching pedagogies. These also need to be structured so that learners can proceed at their ownpace, receive appropriate feedback and coaching, and can review as often as necessary to masterthe material. This paper presents and discusses several such exercises that are integrated with acomplete CBI system and textbook [10].The examples presented are taken from the Introduction to Thermodynamics course that is taughtto almost every engineering student. This course is particularly challenging as it is normallytaught without a laboratory experience. This course also contains many physical concepts

We have also received institutionalfunding for research laboratory facilities.Other Lessons LearnedBelow is a summary of other lessons learned during the last 1½ years in creating a newdepartment. • The promotion and tenure system does not support activities typical of the traditional EM faculty. Funding and refereed papers are still the performance paradigm for most (all?) universities. Because most SE/EM research grants do not need laboratory equipment, the funding is often significantly less than the traditional engineering programs. Also, since most SE/EM problems are applied in nature (all of our current funding at Stevens has

meticulous planning and collaboration, we endeavored to infuse each engineeringcourse with practical laboratory components, bridging theoretical knowledge with hands-onapplication. This approach not only enriched the learning experiences of students but alsounderscored the interdisciplinary nature of engineering within a liberal arts context.Central to our developmental trajectory was the deliberate structuring of course sequencesand content, informed by a synthesis of industry trends, pedagogical best practices, andinstitutional imperatives. As we navigated through the iterative process of curriculumdesign, project-based learning emerged as a cornerstone, fostering creativity, problem-solving, and collaborative skills among students.

This involves thorough instruction in foundational sciences and keyareas of mechanical engineering, as well as hands-on experience in laboratories andcomputational tasks. Moreover, there's a focus on cultivating versatile skills that can be appliedacross various fields, along with opportunities for project work in academic, research, orbusiness settings [7].

The voluminous literature on molten salt reactors mostly dates to the 1960s era. Notably,in the U.S. the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory was an 8MW(th) reactor that was designed primarily to study the technical feasibility and safety of usinga molten salt based fuel and coolant. In addition to demonstrating the practicality of a moltensalt reactor, the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment also addressed issues of on-line refueling, fuelmakeup, and salt chemistry.

Components such aswings and fuselage are designed to reduce as much of the structural weight as possible, thus,making compression-induced instability and failure a major design criterion. Buckling refers to astructural instability caused by a sudden out-of-plane deflection when the applied load places allor part of a structural member’s cross-section under compression [9]. To prevent buckling, thethin skins of aerospace structures are supported or
