Thispaper will present the work by the authors to develop a water flume that would allowhydrodynamic testing at velocities up to 2.0 m/s. The flume was constructed by anundergraduate and at a cost lower than commonly available commercial units. Both thefabrication process and the potential experiments that the flume could house are designed toimprove student learning in the area of fluid mechanics. The design is developed to be relativelycompact, with a 7’x3.5’ footprint and utilizes a commonly available single-stage centrifugalpump. Flow velocities in the test section can be varied passively by changing the insertcontaining the

This concept wasfurther developed to include defining team and task, team climate, communication, and reflection(for a detailed description, please see Table 1)23-26.Design competence focused on finding and evaluating variants and recognizing and solvingcomplex design problems. These were further defined as having the ability to discover and designmultiple solutions to a given problem and to effectively evaluate those solutions to determine thebest solution, and having the ability to see the overall picture of a complex design problem, thenbreaking it into smaller, more manageable parts to solve while keeping the overall problem
]. New SCCT models were developed to explain vocational satisfaction and well-being [10,11], and career management [9]. At the core of the original SCCT model, and most of the SCCTmodels that followed, are self-efficacy (i.e., confidence in the ability to successfully perform adomain-specific task, like a specific engineering skill), outcome expectations (i.e., anticipatedoutcomes of a particular behavior), interests (i.e., patterns of likes/dislikes for career activities),and goals (i.e., determination for a particular outcome). Taking this one step further, Lent etal.’s [9] integrative social cognitive model of academic adjustment, derived from both SCCT [1,2] and the social cognitive model of academic satisfaction [10, 11], explains how

Measure: Evaluated in final CPEN 3850 report • Competency: Students demonstrate ability to generate effective solution(s) to the capstone design problem formulated in CPEN 3850, including identified constraints. Measure: Evaluated in final CPEN 4850 report [1]Thus, in order to determine whether students can both identify and apply appropriate standardsand constraints, and apply these in an engineering design, it was decided that it was necessary toevaluate students continuously working on a project; therefore, measuring in sequentialsemesters was specified.

The dimensions that are unaffected by the criteria (i.e., personal interest and university application for RV249; fit with lifestyle for RV242) remain consistent (within

opportunities for undergraduate laboratory instructionAbstract:This paper outlines a two-semester senior engineering design project that was carried out tostudy a moderately well-defined chemical reaction involving sodium borohydride in aqueousconditions to generate hydrogen for fuel cell applications. Sodium borohydride hydrolysis hasbeen studied extensively since the early 1940’s as a promising hydrogen storage material, whichprovides a content-rich study area for engineering design coursework and undergraduatelaboratory experiences related to energy, hydrogen, and energy storage potential. Throughout thetwo-semester project design course, a two-student engineering team carried out literature reviewsand bench work that lead them to investigate
globally focused experiences outscored those who did not.Notably, the mean EGPI score of students who reported study abroad was significantly higherthan that of those who did not study abroad. In contrast, participation in second-languagecourses, projects or internships abroad, or having an international roommate did not reveal astatistically significant difference in students’ EGPI or GPI performance.Stepwise regression analysis was used to determine potential relationships among studentexperiences and their global preparedness. The regression results indicated that the combinationof such experiences including engineering focused service learning, study abroad, and non-engineering course(s) with a global focus accounted for approximately 12% of

As students review each other‟s screencasts, their own thinking and metacognition will be re-evaluated from another learner‟s perspective who is not necessarily a teacher or a textbookauthor. Learning from peers is more authentic and more sustainable than learning from atextbook or from a teacher17. In addition, receiving peers‟ comments on their own screencastadds to these metacognitive items that will eventually help improve their CAD knowledge andskills. In this National Science Foundation (NSF) project, two mechanical engineering faculty andtwo learning scientists have collaborated to implement a student-centered instructional strategy,namely peer-generated screencast strategy in teaching CAD in the undergraduate
