Session ETD 455the wooden components of the bridge was taking place at the staging area to make quick work ofassembly during the next two weeks. The team scrutinized the construction plans and identifiedthe corresponding wood members to size and cut for use later in the project. Based on ourprevious material take-off list, we were provided with just enough wood to complete the project,so a close attention to detail was necessary. The old saying, “measure twice, cut once” wassomething we all put into practice. The design process was greatly influenced by the previousproject at Maroon Bells; however, Maroon Bells was considered a designated wilderness area,which meant no mechanized equipment or power tools could be used in the vicinity

in a compactstructure.This project was led by two mechanical engineering technology students in the School ofEngineering Technology at Purdue University-Kokomo location. The project is a mix ofdiscovery and learning. On the learning side, the students applied topics learnt in fluidmechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics, materials and manufacturing in addition to controland measurements techniques. On the research side, the students learnt how to design and buildtesting experiments to apply a concept. They also learnt how to collect data, interpret andanalyze it which can help in increasing the learning outcome levels according to Bloom’sTaxonomy measures. The objective of this capstone project was to investigate pipes heatingenhancement

For example, learning about thedesign flaw that caused the Challenger disaster in a mechanical engineering/technologyclassroom differs from information imparted in a philosophy course, where the professor maynot be intimately familiar with joint rotation and the effects of cold weather on O-rings.An EAC approach not only contextualizes ethical content but also allows for vibrant classdiscussions in an already overcrowded technical curriculum, whereas adding a required

This gives the blockchain the ability to bemanipulated like a ledger, which can be shared and validated by anyone with permission. Butblockchain technology is more than just a distributed database; “it can also set rules about atransaction (business logic) that are tied to the transaction itself. This contrasts with conventionaldatabases, in which rules are often set at the entire database level, or in the application, but not inthe transaction [3].” Overall, a blockchain is a type of distributed ledger storage mechanism withcryptographic security features and
