In addition, they wrote a shortdescription of an idea or plan for implementing innovative techniques in their classroom. On thebasis of these ideas, they were preliminarily placed in one of four affinity groups that stemmedfrom Educating Engineers: design education, engineering fundamentals and analysis, laboratory/project/ experience-based learning, or ethics/society/broader engineering skills. Attendees wereable to attend more than one affinity group session at the symposium.The organizers strove for a mix of formal and informal networking opportunities, small groupdiscussions, and panel

In a typical course, students learn these conceptsthrough readings, lectures, and laboratory experiments using hydraulic and pneumatic test stands.The first semester I taught Fluid Power to sophomore and junior Mechanical EngineeringTechnology students, I used a chalkboard to explain equations, graphs, and the construction andoperation of fluid power components.
