lecturecovered relevant realms of underwater technology, such as ROVs, AUVs, ASVs, and static sensor arrays.ROVs (Remote Operated Vehicles) were of particular interest, showing students several ROVs similar towhat they would construct in the coming weeks. The lecture ended with a Q&A, where students wereencouraged to ask questions about the 10 week plan for the quarter and the underwater robot we plannedon building.Mechanical design and testingFor the design portion of the workshop, students were taught about design in Solidworks CAD software.An upper mechanical engineering student showed students how to use the sketch tools in CAD softwareto design laser-cut parts for later fabrication in the course. Once 2-d part designs were complete

Identifying that flow rate 𝑄 is a function of q = displacement volume,ω = angular velocity, µ = fluid viscosity, and T = temperature. In addition, the overall efficiencyfunction shown in equation (3) was determined by knowing that output pressure P is a function ofτ = torque, 𝑄 = flow rate, µ = fluid viscosity, and T = temperature. 𝑒 = 𝐹(𝑞, 𝜔, 𝑃, 𝑄, 𝜏, 𝜇, 𝑇) … .

Future studies will explore diversity of participants, examine genderdifferences among different samples and explore other demographics. Lastly, we intend to usethe validated instrument as a tool to examine causal relationships between academic resilience,students’ school engagement, and other motivational factors that influence academicachievement, especially for students who are most vulnerable to high academic stress.References[1] G.

Such exercise builds their confidence andunderstanding of how the electromechanical systems work. After students are familiar with thetechnology and concepts, in the learning phase, they are introduced to the history of NASA’sspace exploration through series of NASA’s excellent video content available through multipleof NASA’s web resources [7].

These include an ability to work effectively in diverse teams and projects, an abilityto lead others effectively, creativity adaptability & flexibility and an ability to exerciseprofessional judgment.All these abilities are likely to be developed over a period of time through practical experienceand recent graduates therefore do
