individualized to the student participants and each university-affiliated program.Low-resource design is another important skill expected of well-rounded engineers, though it toois often excluded in undergraduate curriculums. Low-resource engineering emphasizes creativityand user-centered design, which are transferable skills to many other career paths as well. Thepractice of designing technologies with low-resource communities in mind has been shown toincrease the equity, accessibility, and use of developed technologies worldwide [5]. Low-resource engineering design projects have benefited communities facing challenges such aspoverty, natural disasters, and inaccessibility to quality healthcare [6]. Future engineeringtechnologies have the potential to

Though vortextubes are not a recent technology, there is not a lot of information regarding different applicationslike the one the team needed it for. Because of this, the team spent a lot of time researching andrejecting varied sizes that would not output the proper velocity needed. After extensive researchand calculations, the team was able to select the correct vortex tube that would be ideal for theapplication.Once the team found the vortex tube that was needed, the next challenge was the size of the tubeitself. To get the velocity needed for the

Some preliminary results indicate that thestudents can apply the material from the first course and extend it to mid-level course content.IntroductionEngineering jobs frequently involve design, testing, and construction / fabrication. Thoseactivities need to be completed correctly and in a timely manner. However, the results of theactivities must be communicated effectively.The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) Program Outcome 3 indicatesthat engineering students need to be “able to communicate effectively” [1].In the consulting areas of engineering, written reports are the primary means of communication,but
