aerospace industry away from its dependence on fossil fuels, the future ofelectric propulsion is strong with a positive outlook. As the employment market increasinglydemands more graduates with electric vehicle skills, there may be Industrial Advisory Boardmembers that advocate for inclusion of this knowledge, skills, and abilities to be included inundergraduate programs. These programs include aerospace engineering, engineeringtechnology, technologists, and certificated mechanics. Undergraduate engineering student projectteams have participated in design-build courses where hybrid-electric race cars compete innational competitions [2].

The prior demonstrated that when students are told to expect an open book test, theymay decrease or postpone test preparation and review activities. The latter study concluded that studentstaking open book exams may show higher levels of critical thinking in test preparation and completion.One relevant study was found in the ASEE Peer Repository on this topic from 2012 where West Pointfaculty compared student test preparation and performance in an entry -level statics and mechanics ofmaterials course.10 They found minimal effect on either parameter when

is “smart enough” to be an engineer. When thinking about the recommendations based onthis finding, we might have thought that we just need to help students learn to separate gradesfrom their self-worth. However, after our discussions with the URAs, we think a betterrecommendation is that first-year courses should be evaluated critically to understand howgrading policies reinforce “worthiness” in engineering. The URAs helped us come to anunderstanding that students continually get the message that grades equal value in engineering.3.)

Controlling the manufacturing ofelectrospun fibers presented a unique engineering problem that could integrate concepts frommultiple bioengineering courses including biomechanics, circuits, computer aided design (CAD),thermodynamics, and biomaterials into a single engineering design project with real-worldapplications. This project served as the basis for a new junior-level design course that will betterprepare students for their senior capstone

Asstudy participants described: While we do have engineering advisors at MCC, the MCC faculty often get involved. My general role as an engineering teacher is a stop-gap. When a student can't get the answers they need from an advisor because they're stretched pretty thin, then they come talk to me or one of my engineering teacher colleagues. [MCC stakeholder] At community colleges, there is no expectation of service. Unless the faculty are being completely altruistic [when they advise students], they are donating massive amounts of time.
