accurately reflect experimentalthermal efficiencies, and pointed to future experimental work.For this paper, two more objectives are met, contributing to the conclusions andrecommendations from the first paper. First, a direct assessment (and further indirectassessment) of the Rankine Cycler as a learning tool is performed. Student’s laboratory reportswere evaluated, so that ultimately the equipment can be used in the undergraduate curriculum inthe best possible manner.Inevitably, when a power generation plant is scaled-down and it has few efficiency-enhancingcomponents (e.g. lack of feedwater heaters, etc.), energy losses in components will be magnified,substantially decreasing the cycle efficiency. Although the Rankine Cycler is a useful tool

internship10,11. Thestudent benefits of exposure to practice as part of a curriculum are well documented12,13,14.Experiential learning gives students exposure beyond the academic side of an industry, enablinga student to apply classroom material more effectively15,16. Internships can help studentsenhance their technical skills as well as allow them to become acquainted with the profession’snorms and values, processes and social dynamic contributing to the student’s growing sense ofidentity as a professional17. While actively engaging in real work and being socialized into acommunity of practice while engaging in the work, learning tends to be viewed by the student asmeaningful. Besides the professional self-identity that may develop through such contacts
professional development (PD) was conducted in Summer of 2020 toeducate counselors about engineering. The PD was run as part of e4usa (Ross et al., 2021), aNational Science Foundation funded program with the goal of demystifying engineering anddemocratizing engineering education. An introductory engineering curriculum was developedwith an eye toward providing students with college credit for completion of the course. Thecurriculum emphasizes connecting with engineering, engineering in society, engineeringprofessional skills, and engineering design (Reid et al., 2020). Counselors who support teacherswithin the e4usa program were invited to participate in the online PD in an effort to betterprepare school counselors for guidance about engineering. A

technology education focuses on applied science and engineering and application of theory in real-world problems. Courses are aimed at preparing graduates for practice in a specific field of the technological spectrum. Courses are laboratory based and have a high component of practical practice and practical application. Hands-on experience is stressed in an educational environment targeted at producing “job ready’ graduates. As a degree program in Software Engineering Technology, the developed curriculum offerslaboratory based courses in hardware construction and design and software construction anddesign. Class sizes are targeted at 20 students. Laboratories are taught by the professors givinglectures. All students

The single semester, “trashcan” project model typically employed inacademia was expanded to a two-semester sequence for (1) project planning and (2) projectexecution.4,5 This resulted in three key benefits to the curriculum. First, because the studentswere given an additional semester to complete their project, the faculty noticed a significantincrease in the quantity and quality of effort by the students. Second, this increase in

Engenius Solutions also provides financial, marketing, and business insight to assist theirclients (students, faculty, staff) in taking ideas from concept to market. Future plans includeaccepting clients from outside the Rose-Hulman community.

The board consists of faculty and staff from multipledisciplines across the campus.This paper will present an overview of the
concept to most stu-dent researchers. In previous years, the idea that one can utilize university resources to commer-cialize technology has been received with utter surprise by many student researchers at Michigan.But even with these resources, students begin to ask themselves, how can a business plan bedeveloped? How can one learn about business development while pursuing an engineeringdegree? How can capital be raised to support an emerging business? Who can help? And quitesimply, where should one start? It is our contention that an engineering curriculum in the UnitedStates should support students along this career path by providing resources, both academic andprofessional, that can help answer these questions so students can pursue their

According to the lessons learned from the previous courses, we also propose both anew course curriculum and a novel multidisciplinary entrepreneurship program where studentscan be taught how to develop a widely successful mobile application instead of just a mediocrenon-profitable toy application.IntroductionThe recent exponential growth of smart mobile devices such as Apple’s iPhone/iPad
