The instructional team could consider whether thisexercise could be modified to introduce other diversity characteristics and specifically addressneurodivergence and potentially mental health issues.

In engineering programs, research is an excellent way ofproviding project-based learning opportunities to students while working toward meaningfulgoals that have the potential to change society for the better.In this paper, we describe the efforts of a team of undergraduate mechanical engineering studentsin creating and demonstrating an experimental silicone venous valve model and flow controlsystem for use in future scientific research aimed at ultimately reducing the impact of awidespread but often unseen disease.

The four parts are executedin one iteration during which the coal fly ash particle is assumed to settle regardless of how longthe particle is airborne. The wind speed and direction are set during the entire time of an iteration.This iterative process is repeated several times to account for the random changes in wind speedand direction.The size of fly ash particle is selected using Figure 2 and Equation 6. Figure 2 reflects the actualdistribution of particles typically found in coal fly ash. Equation 3 is used to compute its terminalvelocity using Stokes’ law. Next, wind

This design considered electric, oil, and propaneenergy source options, two of which did not meet the MC director’s sustainability criteria. Thetypes of insulation considered were fiberglass, polystyrene foam, and reflective insulation.Thermostats and a ventilation system were recommended for installation, but very littleinformation was presented on the specific system to be installed. No system parameters,mathematical approximations, or heat transfer modeling were presented to size the system. Theteam estimated that this design could cost up to $7000. The cost optimized

Attempting to figure out howbest to convey a topic in a novel manner is a very difficult task when you have never doneanything like this before. Making sure each game is unique and also does not detract from thelesson is a difficult balancing act. In addition, many classes are limited in the amount of time thatcan be spent on instructing how best to play the game at the expense of the time that can beallotted to playing said games.In addition, games have a habit of “running

partially focused ontesting or proving that all three domains are connected in the overall learning process -- they areconnected [17]. It found all the domains to be correlated when evaluating students’ learning,meaning more research should be conducted on how to better connect all three domains in a classstructure for deeper understanding, the rest of their findings predominately relate to the affectiveand psychomotor domain [17]. This idea is directly echoed in another report finding that all threedomains need to be intentionally integrated into a class for more effective learning [10]. This ideathat the domains are connected is reflected in the fact that many studies focus on two domains ata time instead of only one domain at a time [4-5], [10
