For this work, we define upper-division mechanical designcourses as courses focused on the analysis, detailed design, and implementation ofpredominantly mechanical systems, mechanisms, and machine components. These coursesgenerally build on both topics learned in foundational mechanical engineering subjects (e.g.,mechanics of materials, dynamics) and earlier exposure to the engineering design processthrough cornerstone design

Each scholar has a team of dedicated professional advisors and a facultymentor while in the program. Advising sessions are in-person or via Zoom, usually 20-30minutes. At the beginning of the semester, the discussion usually revolves around which classesthey should take for their career goals. During the semester, students may come for advice forany problem they have and are willing to share, whether academic or personal. Advisors usuallyput notes in the system so students can access them later, especially if the session concernsacademic planning (for instance, course schedules, applications for graduation, or other forms).These

The students made decisions about where and howto set up the equipment, and they documented the details about the measurement site and weatherconditions. This data was collected specifically for use as samples in the psychoacoustic studythat the students were helping to plan and were responsible for completing.
