Engineering Dynamicscourse participated in a self-developed survey. The survey instruments consisted of a total of fiveitems, two of which included Likert-Scale responses. The survey collected several open-endedquestions which provided students an opportunity to share in detail their views and personallearning experiences.Due to the amount of student responses generated by the study, the authors employed a thematicapproach combined with a data reduction technique to highlight prominent and relevantinformation. As such, only a select number of responses are presented for each of the survey itemsadministered in the study.Participants were asked the following discussion questions:Table 1.

hit most of the state of Texas resultingin massive power outages due to historically low temperatures [1]. The electricity demandskyrocketed, and the state’s capacity to generate electricity could not match the sudden electricitydemand. This resulted in wide spread outages that ranged from a few hours to a few days dependingon the damage sustained in every local area. This research aims at evaluating and providing asolution to such incidents by offering a secondary, affordable, and reliable renewable source ofelectricity made from two 300-Watt solar panels tracking the sun along with the electrical hardwarenecessary to optimize electricity harnessed and stored. This system provides between 10 to 50%of the electricity demand for an average

yet unsolved problems, have been touted as themost important elements of twenty-first century skills.1-6 In particular, they have been a staplerequirement for Student Outcomes from Criterion 3 of ABET.7 However, based on comments andconcerns from the industry, there is a marked gap in skills between graduation and workforcerequirements. For instance, a student may be good in technology but does not know how to use itin a given context. Or, a student is well-versed in computing but does not know how to transferthat skill to a new application. The general belief is that learning can be assessed at different levelsof competence or ability. While there are multiple approaches to such assessment, notably –Bloom’s Taxonomy8, the 5E Model9, the

Each of the motors requires to be brushless motors, both use jet thrusters to move the boat.The intention of using these thrusters is to displace the vehicle’s larger distance with less power.The thrusters extract the water from below and eject it generating propulsion and bringing motionpower to the boat. The motors selected for this task have to be selected considering the dimensionsof the hull. Design 3 has two hulls of a length of 36 inches. To determine the power required (P),and the Kv, the next equations are used. 𝑃𝑜𝑤𝑒𝑟 = 4.279𝐻𝐿2 − 163.1𝐻𝐿 + 1901.5 (1) 𝑅𝑃𝑀 𝐾𝑣
