alsoreflect upon both the plusses and minuses of this approach from the faculty perspective.IntroductionSenior design is the capping experience in undergraduate chemical engineeringeducation, wherein students undertake a design process compiling elements from each oftheir undergraduate courses. Until recently a course of this nature was specified byABET. While ABET current rules are less proscriptive, there is general agreementamong Chemical Engineering programs that senior design continues to be an importantand required course. The common goals of this course are for students to realize the Page 13.661.2design of a chemical facility

Considering that this is the first engineering laboratoryin the curriculum, several authors5,6 have emphasized that these „first‟ laboratory experiencesmust generate enthusiasm, moving away from the traditional laboratory designed as „foodrecipe‟. The idea of an „open ended hypothesis‟ laboratory experience can allow the student

].Additionally one way for students to become independent and highly competent at findinginformation using limited resources is by integration into the engineering curriculum[9].In collaboration with the course instructor this study was initiated with the goals ofunderstanding the (1) use of standards by students during the design process and (2) acquisitionand organization of standards and codes within corporate engineering firms. The end result beinga foundational guide for library instruction of engineering standards literacy.Student Standard UsePrior to their final year of coursework, engineering students have little to no knowledge ofengineering standards.

Once a “sentence engineer” is able to see the formulasbeneath sentences, he or she can then also detect and repair common sentence errors, such aspronoun reference errors, which to reconcile, often involves moving terms around in a sentenceequation, so the reader can more easily locate what noun a pronoun replaces, or seen through thelens of math—“solve for X.”Course DesignBenchmark: As an attempt to design the experimental class so that it might viably articulate intothe university’s undergraduate General Education (G.E.) curriculum, I developed my STEMgrammar course so

Theconcept of service learning has been interpreted in many different ways ranging from a singlecollege course where the students are required to spend one afternoon doing community service(i.e., picking up trash in the neighborhood, giving blood, etc.) to multi-year, service projects thatare fully integrated into the curriculum and include opportunities for reflection and interactionwith the organization and/or people being served.

The campus machine shop is very wellequipped and staffed and was available to help fabricate custom parts. 3-D printing of parts wasalso an option for the teams to use. An instrumentation amplifier circuit board kit was availablefor the students to integrate into their design. The project provided a very good means ofunifying many aspects of the course. The fabrication experience gained through this project isalso a valuable component of the mechanical engineering curriculum.

After the lengthy design process, the test-and-refine phaseproceeded quickly.

The front framing support was designed in an effort to create maximum rigidity for theforces incurred by spring and turning functions. There were three areas of concern that couldpotentially affect the integrity of the member. The first one was the compressive force of thespring acting upwards on the center of the support. The second area of concern was due to lateralforces that may be put on the support due to turning or any shift from side to side that is mayencounter.
