cycloidal gear was designed by Girard Desargues in the 17 century, while the involute gear was designed th by Leonhard Euler in the 18 century. In both cases it I important to understand the mathematical equations th that are associated with these profiles to ensure that they are manufactured correctly and that their optimal operating conditions can be identified. For example, involute gears maintain a constant pressure angle, are easier to make, and are insensitive to variation in the distance between centers, while cycloidal gears have stronger teeth, are less prone to wear, and have no problem with

New Program in Mechanical Engineering and “The Engineer of 2020”AbstractDevelopment of the new Mechanical Engineering program has been described in detail, inreference to two recent reports of the National Academy of Engineering, commonly known as“The Engineer of 2020”. Various aspects of a curriculum design, as well as programimplementation, are discussed in the context of the NAE findings and recommendations withregard to future engineering education. Presented first is a brief overview of published NAEreports, their findings and relevant recommendations. The second part presents the newMechanical Engineering program and discusses the relevant impact of “The Engineer of 2020”on program objectives, particularly as

engineering education, is at the forefront of education policy (Obama, 2016) andthe media, but how the US builds a pipeline of teachers to teach the subject to our students is upfor debate (Cannady, Greenwald, & Harris, 2014). The traditional pipeline of K12 STEMteachers relies on collegiate level STEM majors (and minors) who pursue teaching certification.In order to provide an adequate pipeline of teachers capable of teaching CS concepts, the currentK12 teachers in the pipeline should have CS professional development (PD) opportunities. ThePDs should address the challenge facing today's teachers in how to incorporate CS concepts intoexisting curriculum in order to 1) enhance existing instruction, 2) provide relevant examples andcontextual

Clearly, although the students reported thatthey were generally familiar with the term green chemistry, they were less confident in theirknowledge of biofuels and biodiesel manufacture. Again, the students’ awareness of greenchemistry underscores the need to incorporate sustainability into the undergraduate curriculum toengage students in the future.

By cross-examining threespecific spaces inside a singular institution that emphasize a range of formal, informal, andnonformal learning contexts, we highlight considerations for physical, social, and culturalcontexts, as well as founding design principles, metrics for success, and scalability andsustainability of each space and the associated culture. Furthermore, by using an otherwisehomogeneous corpus, this work can highlight the similarities and differences betweenmakerspaces in educational settings and how those characteristics contribute to the developmentof individuals within the space.

To address this, wedeveloped two options for tracks: (i) Physical Design + Manufacturing, and (ii) Digital UserExperience + AI.We reached this point by the start of summer term and then stalled due to the FAB consisting of9-month faculty. University leadership and the Deans wanted the program to launch in Fall 2025and so it needed to be approved by our Board of Regents in their November 2024 meeting. Thisrequired an accelerated timeline to develop the curricular details of the program and to seekfeedback so that it would be ready for approval by the curriculum committees in
