The studentsfound themselves to be fortunate to choose this project and they were very committed to itscompletion. However, the farther they got into the project, the more they realized it was a muchlarger task than they initially thought. During the design stage, it took a long time to create astructure in SolidWorks that would meet the project requirements, while staying within thebudget. It also gave the team a new insight for what could be considered as a small scale projectin an industrial environment. Verbal and technical communications along with an effectivedocumentation were the key factors for the water channel

Current curriculum in mechanical engineering has provided adequatetraining through learning to solve textbook problems. Students are tasked with memorizing andunderstanding equations to know how to use the equations to solve given problems. However,engineering practice can be dramatically different from any textbook problems. Engineers needto know how to summarize a real engineering challenge into a series of questions and preparesolutions through subtasks. Integrating materials, manufacturing, and testing provides a uniqueopportunity for students to gain such experience. Since most engineering

Unfortunately, these models tend to compartmentalize topics within students’ minds whichcan be especially problematic in the context of Bioengineering or Biomedical Engineering(hereafter referred to as Bioengineering). Bioengineering programs tend to be extremely broad,encompassing chemical, electrical, material science, and mechanical engineering elements, aswell as computer science. Oftentimes, students take lab classes, for example related to molecularbiology, in a specific lab meant only for that area of study. A different lab class dealing with adifferent field would then be done in a different lab. The challenge with these models is

authors developed a general framework adapted fromthe field of Systems Engineering for thinking about the purpose and utility of any canvas. A‘system’ is considered to be an entity that accepts inputs, performs processing, and providesoutputs and interacts with systems around it (Buede, 2016). Given this broad definition, systemscan be natural or man-made, conceptual or physical. For example, a conventional product ordevice, such as a laptop computer, is clearly a system because it takes in audio, visual,mechanical, and digital input; processes that input; and provides various forms of output. In thebusiness world, the business model system would describe how resources and inputs interactwith customers and stakeholders, process information
