Thesedimentation basin in Figure 1(b) is an example of the drawing homework that was produced bya student with previous CAD experience from high school (not the SolidWorks program). In thiscase, the student’s drawing more closely replicated an example from the textbook by adding asecond baffle plate to the entrance, a sloped-floor with chain and flight sludge removal system,and a more advanced weir system for the effluent.

Byincorporating a new co-educational paradigm between the community college and the university, asopposed to traditional articulation agreements, this project provides a novel pathway for community collegestudents to transition to a four-year degree program. It also incorporates a new method for trying to ensurethat community college students who matriculate to partner 4-year institutions receive reverse transfercredit for their associate degrees at their home community college.
