For now, however, theturbine we created has successfully conveyed our idea and could be used and modified in the futureto fully realize our idea for this device.The SeaVolt turbine was created as a final project for a project-based learning first-yearengineering course that followed a model of experiential learning. Experiential learning stressesthe importance of student-led experience rather than textbook memorization.

Work in Progress: Development of a Simplistic Agent-Based Model to Simulate Team Progress within an Innovation-Based Learning CourseAbstractThis work in progress discusses the development of a simplistic agent-based model used tosimulate probabilistic team behavior within an Innovation-Based Learning (IBL) course.Innovation-Based Learning is a non-traditional learning model that encourages students to learnboth technical and entrepreneurial skills by working on a team project. The course pushesstudents to think innovatively, especially on problems with “unknown unknowns” typical ofcomplex systems. In IBL, students are expected to learn and then apply the core concepts theylearn into their innovation projects and track all
