. Byincluding service learning in the course design project, the students then had a dual vehicle inwhich to refine their designs in ways that deepened their understanding and learning. From ourexperience overseeing this course, we conclude that to truly realize the benefits of servicelearning, integration of CSL throughout the curriculum is needed along with better managementof service learning components.I. IntroductionSite remediation, as a profession, requires a broad range of technical expertise including, but notlimited to engineering (civil, mechanical, chemical, and electrical); natural sciences (geology,hydrogeology, chemistry, physics, and biology); advanced sciences (microbiology,geochemistry, toxicology, etc.) and engineering management.

The engineering technologist’s roleis to be an implementer rather than an inventor, and to support engineering functions.Fluid Mechanics and Materials Technology classes’ sophomore level, courses are offeredin the Engineering Technology department they offers the instructor opportunity to teachtheory accompanied by applied aspects of science and engineering. Students are exposedto problems involving the simultaneous mix of mathematics, physics, chemistry,computers, and common sense in creative and challenging ways.The current text books available for both courses are primarily written for engineeringstudents; they

expects.This may have been acceptable in the past where employees preformed repetitive tasks.Today, however, employers are looking for self-motivated problem-solvers. In fact,today’s employers are looking for entrepreneurs, and this traditional education is not anenvironment that breeds entrepreneurs.The damage done by this type of environment cannot be corrected by having the studentattend a course or two about being an entrepreneur. The problem needs to be addressedglobally; this means that the education environment needs to be modified. Thismodification will include the integration of alternate teaching methods, new twists oncurrent material, and the addition of new material into existing courses.

For the working mathematician, this approach was right. It was fantasticallysuccessful in promoting the development of new mathematics. General techniques weredeveloped that worked for all kinds of wild combinations of functions by applying essentially thesame definitions and mechanisms of proof.Nonetheless these definitions took the focus of calculus away from intuitive smooth curves.These 19th century definitions were and continue to be meaningless for many students andtherefore it is time for the STEM community to re-examine the effect on the students of

outputs can be classified into five categories, namely energy,material, information, generalized forces (includes moments) and generalized displacements(includes rotations). The later two categories are included to easily understand some of themechanical engineering tasks. The routes, through which the inputs are processed by the designto create the outputs, are called transmission paths that includes the processes of transfer,transmit, and transform. Thus, tracing the transmission paths is a crucial step in di entifyingfunctionality.2.3.

Also, the practical matter of the tinytantalum capacitor in parallel with the huge electrolytic capacitor is covered.

BackgroundStudents’ motivation in a class can lead to better learning gains and understanding of classmaterial, thus it is important to keep student’s motivated inside the classroom, as well asoutside.1,6,7 However, students can struggle with motivation particularly towards the completionof homework.6,7 A method that has shown to improve students’ engagement is gamification.1Gamification is defined by Karl Kapp as using “game-based mechanics, aesthetics and gamethinking to engage people, motivate action, promote learning, and solve problems”.8 Games canbe seen as intrinsically motivating because people who play games are voluntarily investing theirtime into problem-solving even though they receive nothing in return.9 Games allow players the“freedom to fail
