, thisstudy found that perceived voluntariness was significant in explaining current system usage, butnot future system use or overall user acceptance [19]. This indicated that voluntariness wasimportant for the initial acceptance behavior, but not for continued use [19]. While this studydoes not focus specifically on e-learning use in higher education, it does identify a generalrelationship between system use and voluntariness; understanding the relationship betweenactual use and voluntariness is important for developing a model describing the involuntary useof e-learning that students faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.Impact of Learning Style and Personality on E-Learning Use Several studies have also sought to develop an understanding of
ethics and the ethicalunderstanding of engineering from a Philosophy of Technology approach. We then utilizethe intersection of queer theory and video game studies to present how the understandingof failure can help us reshape how it is approached in engineering. Finally, to illustrate theuse of these ideas, we present two theoretical examples of how failure can be enacted in theclassroom for a better understanding of engineering ethics.II.

survey in Figure 3 demonstrate that students believe thiscourse is effective in increasing student proficiency in particular skills. This includes skills thatare directly taught (e.g., laser cutting and 3D printing) as well as other skills that are not directlytaught but are needed for project success (such as drawing or low-fidelity prototyping). Theseskill gains are supported by the instructional methods and how the coursework requiresstudents to extend their knowledge and proficiency to complete a task. Further research couldextend the understanding of a student’s understanding of proficiency gains by surveying themfor situations in which they believe they demonstrated proficiency in a skill.

course is taughtonly in the spring semester and only to mechanical engineering majors (approximately 80 eachyear). The course has a laboratory component with a 2 hour block every week. The coursealready included an internal combustion (IC) engine component with a laboratory that couldeither be supplemented with a new laboratory or replaced. In the previous laboratory, a single-cylinder, spark ignition, cooperative fuels research (CFR) engine was instrumented with apressure transducer in the cylinder. Cylinder pressure was recorded as a function of crank angle,along with fuel consumption rate and engine speed. Students used the data to construct P-Vdiagrams and compute cycle work. This was done for several compression ratios, as thecompression

simply, we are being too careless with our electricity and naturalgas usage. I will be more apt to turn of lights, TV’s, computers, etc., when I am not using them because Inow realize how much money and energy is being wasted for no good. I will also be able to enlighten mysiblings to help out with the bills by being more cautious with how they use utilities. If they are not usingthings, I will try to remind them to shut them off. By being more conscientious, this will not only help myparents out by lowering the cost of the utility bills, but it will also be more helpful to the environment. If Ican just do a few things, maybe a couple others, such as my family, will also take the initiative to be moreenergy efficient. After all, it will not save
