At the end of the school year, theteam determined that more powerful motors would be necessary. More funding was requestedand eventually granted, but not before the senior students had graduated from ORU. The nextyear’s class of students installed the new motors in the Spring of 2019, but testing the prototypewas very limited due to the School of Engineering moving all labs and classrooms to newfacilities across the street.

Increasingly, instructors and employers are recognizing that athorough knowledge of engineering theory alone (natural sciences, mathematics, and design) isnot enough to prepare a student to be a fully competent engineer.

Because the transition to sustainable development mustbe made in the next 20 years, major changes will be required in ongoing education" and alsoconcluded that
