that the central truth-claims of a worldview be verifiable or falsifiable since claims that lack this characteristic cannot be investigated, evaluated, and critiqued, thus carrying little rational weight. „Testability increases a worldview‟s intellectual credibility. The concept of “testable truth” contains persuasive power.‟18 Engineers use several different methods for testing reality, such as theoretical calculations, computer simulations, and experimental testing in the laboratory. They typically look for good agreement among such methods before proceeding with a design- related decision. However, the approach to verification or falsification of worldview truth-claims can be somewhat different from that of verifying the

As a result, the number of communitycollege engineering students who are able to take these courses and be prepared for upper-division courses upon transfer has increased. However, courses requiring laboratory componentsare currently not offered online at any of the partner colleges. As a result many students are notable to complete the required lab courses before transfer, and

Beyondthis, the students must further communicate these findings clearly to a diverse audience (who havetheir own, and often very different, projects).Project selection involves the students choosing a topic; these are available first-come, first-served;however, the courses assume that the students will develop their own topics (with instructorsupervision, not direction) and the students are not provided with a list of ideas. Students areencouraged to look to laboratory experiments in literature, or even science fair project ideas 1.Given the possibility that many concepts are not practical, the students are expected to

ConclusionsIn this work, a novel design of EGP for bike lanes has been developed in the laboratory at theSMART Center at Prairie View A&M University. In this research, various experiments wereconducted to find proper materials, fluids, and mixtures for fabricating the EGP. Through theseexperiments, a type of polyester and micro-fleece fabrics were identified. These fabrics were coatedwith acrylic and adhesive mixtures of fluids in the prototype of the EGP. The EGP successfullyproduced energy from the three-feet EGP which was about 661.53 mW/s per PZT cell strip in theEGP by the running bike at 5 mph. Finally, it could be one of the sources to generate alternativeelectricity for society. Currently, This sustainable EGP can be used easily in many

Previousstudies have shown that hands-on laboratories can improve academic performance and increasestudent success by allowing them to experience the theoretical content in real-world examples.However, hands-on assignments come with various challenges, including the availability ofspace and equipment, instructor creativity to design experiments, and student capacity for classenrollment. This paper will present new ideas for developing assignments that keep studentsinterested in learning and can evolve with new technologies. By incorporating innovative andrelevant topics and using modern technologies, we can create more engaging and interactiveassignments that improve student learning outcomes.Methodology:Engineering Thermodynamics is a core course

The course meets twice weekly for a total of 4hours each week and is intended to be an active learning/laboratory course to introduce studentsto disciplines (by department) in our college, as well as engineering basics and orientation tocampus resources. An emphasis on group work pervades the course. Students are assigned toteams of 4 in the second week of the term and work with the same team throughout the semester.The first activity discussed below is intended to be a fun, team-building activity that introducesthe notion of
