IntroductionIndustrial applications require mechanical engineers to design machines with multiple axes thatexecute complex, high speed, high precision coordinated motion using sophisticated motioncontrollers. To design such systems students need to learn the industrial motion controltechnology; be able to bring together control theory, kinematics, dynamics, electronics,simulation, programming and machine design; apply interdisciplinary knowledge; and deal withpractical application issues. Due to the current compartmentalized approach used in teachingthese subjects and the

Regardless of appointment or researchdiscipline, early career faculty are also navigating shifting cultures of faculty evaluation bothnationally and, likely, at their own institutions [5]. Faculty who participate in the scholarship ofteaching and learning, as well as those who conduct discipline-based education research, oftenalso find themselves at the crossroads of two or more academic disciplines.

Some of the themes regardingthe second question included lack of group coherence and communication, self-doubt, unequalworkload, conflict, scheduling time to meet, and not having enough time to meet.Following the kick-off meeting, we planned an escape room activity as a team-building exercisefor the groups. This exercise gives students early in the semester the opportunity to practicecommunication skills necessary for their developing projects. A few of the areas of team successduring an escape room activity include: • Large- and small-scale perspectives – students must keep both the larger picture

Fluid Mechanics stands as a fundamental component of the engineeringcurriculum, imparting critical knowledge of fluid dynamics while tackling practical challenges,including the exploration of diverse energy generation methods like hydro and wind turbines.Traditional educational frameworks, often constructed from a foundational, bottom-up approach,may fall short in equipping engineers to tackle complex, large-scale problems[2]. Thiseducational structure, while effective in building foundational knowledge, sometimes limits anengineer's ability to synthesize and apply this knowledge to broader, real-world challenges[1].In the context of escalating climate change concerns

Addressing these challenges is pivotal for enhancing thequality of engineering design education.
