resinmatrix. It is frequently used in place of a traditional hand layup for a number of reasons,including increased control over resin content, decreased scrap and mess, and generallyimproved reproducibility during processing. [1] Following impregnation of the pre-polymericresin system into fibers, the prepreg is considered B-staged. At this point in processing, the resinhas undergone a partial cure and begun to crosslink. As such, storage in freezers is required, toprevent further crosslinking of the material into a fully cured C-stage product. [2]Prepreg is manufactured primarily using two processes: solvent coating and hot melt coating. Inthe solvent coating process, fabric is threaded between metal rollers and run through a resin bath,then fed

beenoffering Associate Degree Programs in Mechanical and Electrical disciplines for along time. Over the last decade, the decision was made to offer four-year engineeringtechnology programs in electromechanical as well as mechanical disciplines. As aresult, the Department of Engineering Technology had to design and develop anyearlong four credit hour, two-semester course entitled ENT 497- 498. This wasaccomplished in 1996, and was designed to conform with the requirements of ABET.(Narayanan, a, b, c, d, e). Later, the Liberal Education Council of Miami Universityrecognized this sequence as an approved Miami University Capstone (MPC)Experience.

Afterresearching them, it was decided to use SubG+ resin for the project. Attached below is a briefsummary on the resin properties according to the resource above6:  Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) friendly, fast curing, low shrink (3.5%) material.The trade-off is higher viscosity (90cP at 25°C compared to SubG which is 12cP), but the benefit of the SubG+ resin is that it holds pigment for longer without as much settling. SubG and SubG+ cures under UV A, B, and C light around 420 nm. You can cure it with a DLP projector, a UV laser, or UV Light Emitting LEDs

at two different sets of data for the same subject and topic.

An example of what assessmentmay look like has been shown Appendix B. The assessment matrix utilizes a 5 point likertscale. A score of 5 may indicate that students have understood the content at the desired level.A score of 1 may be indicative that the instructor has to put in much more effort tocommunicate at the
