report that showcases the brainstormingprocess and end result.IntroductionThe course is a required 2-credit hour course for engineering and computing majors, typicallytaken by first year students in their first semester. 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
thetheoretical background necessary to provide a meaningful opportunity for students to performanalysis in the laboratory portion of the class. The purpose of this activity is to bring students toa common level of proficiency so that they can perform an iterative engineering designexperiment investigating the performance of a small vertical axis wind turbine, VAWT.BackgroundBeing mindful of how students acquire knowledge, Turns and Van Meter [1] discuss teachingmethods to improve problem solving, informed by cognitive science. Part of the objective of thisintroduction to engineering and technology course is to show students that engineers work tosolve concrete problems and improve solutions. For many of the students, they are embarking onthe first step

An early review of the accident revealed preliminary evidence of metal fatiguewhere a fan blade had broken off. Later the investigation confirmed evidence of metal fatigue.Fatigue critical components must be designed based on rigorous laboratory and/or full-scalecomponent testing before they are placed in service. Fatigue failures typically start from highstress concentration areas such as notches, holes or scratches. Fatigue behavior is known to be aweak-link process significantly influenced by local microstructural configurations [5]. The origin

In Summer 2019,the first cohort of five students completed their 8-week immersive research internship at a top-ranked Korean university.COVID-19 affected most, if not all, in-bound and out-bound international programs. IRiKA wasno exception. In late February 2020, the program was canceled altogether because no viablealternative could be offered for Summer 2020, as institutions world-wide were grappling withdisruptive challenges the pandemic brought on.

Initial testing wasconducted in laboratory environment where the ambient conditions were stable and controlled. Other variables, such as the effect of sunlight on skin temperature, or the effect of thewind blowing cannot be tested easily due to the lack of independent variables [1]. Testing for theeffects of sunlight, wind, or other factors depends on weather conditions and time did not permittesting under all possible conditions. The temperature decrease as distance increases is nearly a linear line, with the averagedrop in temperature being around four degrees Fahrenheit per foot. The figure below illustratesthis drop

the research community have reported on the disruptionstheir classrooms faced [1, 2, 3] and the strategies they adopted to improve the effectiveness ofonline learning [4, 5, 6]. A popular research avenue has been to investigate the impacts of ERLin the context of laboratory and project work—aspects of engineering education which havetraditionally involved hands-on experiences unique to the in-person setting. In [1], the authorsexplain that a key issue arising when conducting labs online is the lack of access to conventionallaboratory equipment, and therefore the reliance on simulation. Interestingly, the authors in [5]show that lab simulations can provide students with a novel "opportunity structure", offeringthem more ownership over the lab
