As such,there is currently a gap between what educational opportunities are feasible within academiaversus what is required to excel in collaborative, multidisciplinary design environments. This gaphas been echoed in current literature through discussions of the need to enhance professionalskills such as communication

. Page 24.1204.2IntroductionThe first learning outcome of the ABET EC 2000 accreditation criteria1, Criterion 3 (a), statesthat, "Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have an ability to applyknowledge of mathematics, science and engineering appropriate to the discipline." This requiresthat students either have, or develop an ability, to transfer previously acquired math and scienceknowledge and skills to new engineering learning situations and applications. One importantsubject area taught in chemistry that requires this "transfer" to the engineering domain is thesubject of phase behavior of liquids, solids, and gases learned in chemistry classes. In fact, it isan area of fundamental conceptual knowledge that is applied to

By using the developed AR application, students will be able to learn aboutdiverse science topics more efficiently and visually. The AR mobile application allows the userto project a 3D (3-Dimensional) AR model of science topics on a real-world surface (such as atable or a piece of paper). The users will be able to interact with the model as if it existed outsideof the mobile application using touch interfaces.

Once airborne, the helicopter main rotors produce thrust, which (ifgreater than the drag force) results in movement. Helicopters require four basic systems to achieve flight. The four systems are identified inFigure 2. Two of the systems - an engine and controls - are found in other vehicles (cars, boats,trains, etc.), but the function of helicopters necessitates special design considerations that makethe other two systems - the main rotor and anti-torque system - unique.□ Engine.
