problems dealing with fluids in motion.However, teaching turbulence to undergraduate students is a challenge because turbulent flow iscomplex and much of the information about turbulence has been gained from laboratory studies.Lectures alone are not very effective in learning the theory of turbulence. Physical understandingof turbulence should include visualization of turbulence phenomena as well as laboratoryexperimentation that provides hand-on experience. In the classroom, students may observeturbulent flows through a series of films produced by the National Committee for Fluid MechanicsFilm (NCFMF)2. In the laboratory, the Reynolds’s experiment is often performed as anintroduction to laminar or turbulent flow. This experiment involves

These students had heard the word digital throughout their lives and associated it withtechnical advances and modern implementations. What they learned in this camp is that digitalmeans that variables can have one of only a fixed number of values, typically just two values

Mechanical Engineering/Engineering Technologymajors spend a good deal of time focusing on the mathematical principles behind how thingswork, before designing alternative solutions to problems. The high cost of design mistakespreviously discouraged educators from allowing students to test their theories, despite theobvious reinforcement that hands-on applications provide. The use of robotics kits provides alow cost, effective alternative in teaching concepts such as the relationship between speed andtorque in a gearbox. Applying simple dynamics formulae

The development of anengineering identity, early in the engineering track, is particularly critical for students inprograms where classification as "engineering students," by the College of Engineering,does not occur until after the sophomore year in the program [13]. This lack of engineeringidentity often results in students leaving the engineering pipeline early into their programsand tends to have a stronger effect on female students as it adds to other issues women facein engineering such as self-efficacy and gender cultural mismatch [14].Historically, women have been and continue to be underrepresented in the field ofengineering, both in post-secondary engineering programs and

Such implementation was not entirely scalable and constantly-risingcomplexity of computational puzzles required more investments both in electricity cost and hardwareupgrades. As a remedy, the new cryptographic protocol CryptoNote and a corresponding proof-of-workfunction CryptoNight [11] were invented to allow effective mining on a mainstream CPUs. This hashfunction uses an extensive read and write operations in a 2 Megabyte region called scratchpad, effectivelymoving the focus of mining from computing resources to memory access performance.

Figure 1a: Initial 2D design Figure 1b: Initial 3D Wheel design Figure 1c: Wheel digital modelOur initial design {Figures 1a, 1b, and 1c] utilized a few components that we determined necessaryto make our product as effective as possible. Each of these components was designed towardsaddressing a particular goal or obstacle. Firstly, we determined that we would need a part thatallowed us to concentrate the inflow of water. One of our design goals was to make our projectapplicable in all sorts of drains, and fixtures like water fountains and sinks tend to drain less

As an educator, I am committed to challenging my students to uncover new perspectives and dig deeper into the context of the societal problems engineering is intended to solve. As a scholar, I seek to not only contribute original theoretical research to the field, but work to bridge the theory-to-practice gap in engineering education by serving as an ambassador for empirically driven educational
