The students are awarded points in a topicbased on the amount and quality of work done in the assignment, and points are awarded againsta professionalism rubric that multiplies the base points for any phase based on sophistication ofthe work (Fig. 19). The levels are divided into Elementary, High School, College, Research andIndustrial standards, with appropriate requirements for each. As such, there is no requirednumber of points for an assignment. Students are not compared against an expected level ofachievement for any research assignment, and points are compiled continuously from anyassignment in a standard until the required total

This interdisciplinary approach fosters a well-rounded skill set,making the students valuable in industries where these technologies converge.As future engineers, the students have a significant environmental responsibility. The decisionsand actions of engineers have substantial impacts on the environment, both positive andnegative.

Furthermore, this paper assessesthe development of supporting pieces and the theoretical simulation of their operations in the system.An assessment covering the different alternatives to this system and the supporting pieces isconducted. The results demonstrate that the system and the shape, material, and sizes of the one-wayvalve were selected as the most well-structured design. Possible approaches to real-life testing are alsodiscussed in the paper. IntroductionAlgae-derived biofuels are new types of fuels

design parameter t is noted to have the most significant impact on Poisson's ratio.However, from the mechanics of materials perspective, it was expected that the thickness of theunit cell would not have a significant influence on the Poisson’s ratio. That could be a contributingfactor to the observed lower accuracy in predicting Poisson's ratio.To robustly assess the performance of our predictive model, we also incorporated K-fold cross-validation into our evaluation strategy. Specifically, we set K to 5, leading to the systematicpartitioning of our dataset into five equally sized folds. During each iteration, the model underwenttraining on four (K-1) folds, with subsequent performance testing on the held-out fold. Thisprocess iterated five
