To narrow the definition, real-world applications was described as when an instructordeliberately demonstrates relevance through the integration of problems that are related to real-world problems and/or underscores connections to industry and design. Integration of pedagogythat emphasizes relevance and connections to the real-world has been shown to support studentengagement, persistence, and comprehension.12 Integration of real-world applications moves theresponsibility to instructors to be explicit about the real-world application of what is beinglearned and to clarify how future careers integrate these skills.Real-world

In the future I believe that this information will come in handybecause as an engineer, understanding fluids and how they work in systems can be important ineveryday life because fluids are all around us. In the end, this was not an easy class, it requires alot of work and dedication if doing the semester long project. With that being said, I would notgo back on my decision to do the project, all of the hard work and hours that were put into thisclass and project have given me the most accomplished feeling I have ever felt.

In these interactions, the students needed to learn how to workwith other engineers, and communicate their questions, ideas, and results clearly. The relianceon undergraduate students, rather than graduate students, on the project did have somedrawbacks. These include an increased need for guidance, and often an increased time for thecompletion of project tasks due to the students having less time to devote to the project.This paper describes the research activities of the students on the project, and contains asummary of the results.

A common goal of engineering educators is to demonstrate that graduates have theability to solve current engineering issues, which include ill-defined problems[2]. In order toacquire this ability, most students must undergo some form of intellectual development duringtheir college career. There are multiple perspectives on how intellectual development, defined inthis paper as the progression of one’s views of knowledge [10], [11], can be evaluated in theoverall learning process[12].
