Having examined thebaseline of sustainability education at RHIT and reviewed the availability of sustainabilityeducation at other peer institutions, this assessment provides an initial understanding of thecurrent opportunities at RHIT. To complement the value of this baseline assessment, commonpractices and comprehensive guides of integration of sustainability pillars and the UnitedNation’s Sustainable Development Goals in education are summarized to recognize other areasof potential. By acknowledging the existing efforts and identifying areas for improvement,further advancements in sustainability education are proposed that align with the localinstitutional strategic planning goals to enhance

Both groups treat every activity as a workin progress and believe that every aspect of the project could possibly be modified and improved.Future WorkTo further increase makerspace utilization and student identity, we will consider using class timeto visit our maker space as demonstrated in [1].

The course instructor acts only as an advisor for these labs.The intention of this methodology is to move the students from participating in the experimentspurely at a “technician” level; following provided procedures, taking specified number and typeof data, to a more involved “engineer” level in which they participate in the experiment planning,study the background theory, and have input into the conduct of the experiment. When carriedout in this manner, there would seem to be little question that this lab course was giving students“the ability to design and conduct experiments”.

have precisely measured the location of each hole on a part, each part mustproperly align during assembly for the hole to function properly. This iteration process forcesstudents to think critically about what they are doing as well as emphasizes the importance oftaking proper measurements. Once the assembly is properly aligned, students are required tocreate a professional portfolio that contains not only a dimensioned drawing of each component,but also a description of how they measured and assembled the drawing. This project was first implemented during the Fall 2016 semester. In the Spring 2017semester it was tweaked to optimize the effectiveness.

However, especially the aesthetics display, the team planned to introduce a new set ofideas that will keep the competition as exciting as ever. This year, the Kansas State team choseto work with a unique theme in hopes to set them apart from the rest: “Pirates of the Prairie.”DESIGN OBJECTIVESThroughout the design process, the team has invested a significant amount of time planning thedesign, especially the pair of technical tasks.

For this work, we define upper-division mechanical designcourses as courses focused on the analysis, detailed design, and implementation ofpredominantly mechanical systems, mechanisms, and machine components. These coursesgenerally build on both topics learned in foundational mechanical engineering subjects (e.g.,mechanics of materials, dynamics) and earlier exposure to the engineering design processthrough cornerstone design

This willallow students to recognize the sound when cavitation cannot be seen, which could be valuablein their future endeavors. With cavitation being a problem encountered in many engineeringworkplaces, this project will give students the knowledge necessary to understand, recognize,and correct the problem before it becomes a major problem.Lessons Learned While the design and implementation of our team’s pump cavitation demonstrationdevice was accomplished mostly according to plan, some valuable lessons were learned by theteam members.

Its purpose is to acquaint studentswith a sufficiently broad spectrum of policies, practices, procedures, and ethics in mechanicalengineering. It is a one credit course so a 50-min session per week is devoted to lectures, but twoto three hours of outside classwork per week are required. The author joined SDSU in July 2021and started to teach this class in the fall semester. It is worth mentioning that the author had nevertaught such a class before.Based on the ultimate goal of senior seminars and industry expectations for mechanicalengineering
