This paperprovides a comparison of the old course structure with the new, a description of the steps thatwere taken toward this improvement, an outline of the new labs that have been developed, andfuture plans for continued improvements.II. Course Improvement Objectives:Several objectives were set for the improvement of the course: The course must be relevant to the needs and interests of the EET students. The basic concepts of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics must be presented, but only as required to understand the principles of thermal management. The lectures and labs must relate to each other in order to enhance the learning experience.III. Course History

The students then work onredesigning or development of the device using local materials and input from the local community. Thebusiness students on the team perform a business feasibility analysis and present the plan to thecommunity, which can then develop these devices for the local or wider region.The first project undertaken through the program was redesign of a human powered grain crusher for acommunity in Senegal. The grain crusher being designed at Rowan University has undergone manyrevisions to make it more affordable and sustainable. It can be powered using a bicycle and therefore canutilize

We went throughmany stages of development in order to gather information on our stakeholders, identify designmetrics and constraints, create possible designs for our device, and choose the best design. Webelieve that our group has developed a product that can help improve the daily lives of facultyand students in university.​ Currently we are still finishing the development of the product by implementing costsaving measures of the housing of the device.

What have other organizations used to anoint member institutions that meet a DEI threshold in particular and how else might institutions signal or confirm reaching that bar? How does the ADRP engage with and/or obscure the deepest currents of inequity operating in engineering education? This investigation is important to understand avenues for promoting DEI within postsec- ondary engineering institutions of all kinds, to help ensure that these institutions think critically about what their own campus can/should commit to and how their pledges/plans can disrupt stubborn systems of oppression.

Spatial skills are linkedto professional and academic success [3], [4]. For example, when designing or constructing apumping station or piping systems within a treatment plant, it is always challenging to develop athree-dimensional mental picture of the space when looking at plan view and section views of aspace. Those who are skilled in developing that clear mental picture make fewer mistakes andare more efficient designers or constructors.
