coastdown testing works well as aclassroom engineering laboratory.IntroductionThe education of mechanical engineering students tends to favor theoretical concepts overpractical applications. Students take multiple courses in topics such as dynamics, mechanics ofsolids and fluids, thermodynamics, and design theory. However, oftentimes the only exposuremechanical engineers receive to practical engineering comes in the form of a laboratory designcourse, in which they learn the operation of tools such as the mill and lathe. Few if any educationprograms exist that integrate theoretical and practical components of engineering. According toArnold Kerr and Byron Pipes, students gain more when engaging in hands-on work1.Consequently, because of this

In male ormixed teams', gender related issues did not seem to come up as a topic.A number of the students have gone to work in the research labs of their mentors which has ledto more interest in doing graduate research and being better positioned to obtain an internship ata national lab. In all cases, it was the students’ initiative, not a program requirement, to seekundergraduate research opportunities. ii

The instruction can be more directly applied to theconceptual design projects. Students get experience with intense project teamwork, without thepressure of performing for an external client.
